My right honourable friend the Secretary of Sate for Wales has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

I am pleased to inform the House that the proposed National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Housing) Order has been laid today as Command Paper (7379). Copies of this can be found in the Printed Paper Office and will be placed in the Library from 12 noon. I have written to the chairmen of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee and the House of Lords Constitutional Committee to request they undertake pre-legislative scrutiny.
