Legislative Competence: Wales

Volume 473: debated on Wednesday 12 March 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will place in the Library copies of correspondence between his Department and (a) the National Assembly for Wales and (b) Welsh Assembly Government Ministers between 1 May 2007 and 1 February 2008 relating to the legislative procedure for Wales including legislative competence orders; and if he will make a statement. (193548)

We have had frequent exchanges with both the National Assembly for Wales and Welsh Assembly Government Ministers about the new legislative arrangements for Wales. We are committed to making this process work and will continue to have discussions with all relevant parties. To make such correspondence available in the Library would restrict our ability to conduct business effectively.
