Definition
  • Statements made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 1980. Where an instrument or draft creates a criminal offence, a ministerial statement required by the Act must (among other things) include an explanation of why, in the relevant Minister’s opinion, there are good reasons for creating the offence and for the penalty provided in respect of it.
