Senedd backs data bill despite constitution concerns
Western Mail
|May 08, 2025
THE Senedd signed off on the UK Government's data bill despite constitutional concerns, with the proposed legislation “completely failing” a key test set by the First Minister.
Senedd Members voted 39-11 in favour of consenting to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, which aims to make better use of data and boost the UK economy by £10bn over the next decade.
But Plaid Cymru members and Labour backbenchers voiced concerns about powers in the bill for UK ministers to make laws in some areas devolved to Wales.
Alun Davies urged Welsh ministers to withdraw the legislative consent motion or LCM, the means by which the Senedd indicates support for UK laws on devolved matters.
