National Assembly for Wales (Legislative  Competence) Order

The Secretary of State for Wales (Mr. Peter Hain)
I am pleased to inform the House that the proposed draft National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) Order in the field of Social Welfare has been laid today, as Command Paper (7286). Copies of it can be found in the Vote Office and Library from 12 noon. I have written to the Welsh Affairs Committee to request they undertake pre-legislative scrutiny.
