Commentary These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to sections 8(1) and 23(1) and (6) of, and paragraph 21(b) of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. These Regulations repeal, revoke or amend legislation, including retained EU law, relating to European Parliamentary elections, European political parties and European political foundations and, where no longer appropriate, reference to other EU Member States. These Regulations provide for the repeal or revocation of provisions relating to the franchise and the registration of electors in respect of European Parliamentary elections in the UK and Gibraltar and in relation to the conduct and administration of those elections, including provisions in respect of election expenditure in the UK and Gibraltar. Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 10 December 2018 regarding the effect of these Regulations. The above summary and the content of the Explanatory Memorandum to these Regulations confirm their effect. Legal Advisers have not identified any legal reason to seek a consent motion under Standing Order 30A.10 in relation to these Regulations.
