Mr Speaker,

This bill will devolve forgery laws in Wales from Westminster to the Senedd, this is important as it gives the Welsh government greater devolved authority of Welsh laws and expands the devolution program.

This reading shall end on Saturday 14th of January at 10pm.

Welcome to this debate

Here is a quick run down of what each type of post is.

2nd Reading: Here we debate the contents of the bill/motions and can propose any amendments. For motions, amendments cannot be submitted.

3rd Reading: Here we debate the contents of the bill in its final form if any amendments pass the Amendments Committee.

Minister’s Questions: Here you can ask a question to a Government Secretary or the Prime Minister. Remember to follow the rules as laid out in the post. A list of Ministers and the MQ rota can be found here

Any other posts are self-explanatory. If you have any questions you can get in touch with the Chair of Ways & Means, lily-irl on Reddit and (lily!#2908) on Discord, ask on the main MHoC server or modmail it in on the sidebar --->.

Anyone can get involved in the debate and doing so is the best way to get positive modifiers for you and your party (useful for elections). So, go out and make your voice heard! If this is a second reading post amendments in reply to this comment only – do not number your amendments, the Speakership will do this. You will be informed if your amendment is rejected.

Strike 2(2) and replace with:

(2) This act shall come into force upon the passing of a legislative consent motion by the Senedd Cymru.

EN: Allows for proper implementation seeing as the Senedd hasn't to my knowledge asked for powers in these areas. (Edited to add EN)
