It comes amid questions over whether a ban on single-use bags will require UK government permission.
Last week the Welsh Parliament passed a law banning a long list of plastic goods - including plates, cutlery, drinks stirrers, drinking straws and polystyrene cups.
However the Welsh ban goes even further than both countries, prohibiting the supply of single-use carrier bags and oxo-degradable products. The IMA means that goods that can be sold in one nation of the UK should be able to be sold in another, despite what the law in the latter nation may say.They have tried to get a court to accept their view that the way the IMA was written should not reduce the Welsh Parliament's powers.
BBC Wales was told by a UK government source that the Welsh government has not requested its own exclusion. The Senedd committee argued that the IMA "could have been explored in greater depth" had the bill not been processed as fast as it was.Huw Irranca-Davies said the Senedd legislative committee was "not satisfied" the Welsh government had clarified its position on the Internal Market Act.
