The Powers of the National Assembly for Wales:
|
Issues and questions for consultation – November
2002
|
| Background |
| The Commission was appointed in July 2002. Its job is
to produce an independent report by the end of 2003. This
report will contribute to decisions on the future of the
National Assembly and the way Wales is governed in the
future. |
| In preparing our report we want to have the benefit
of the views and experience of as many individuals and
organisations as possible, especially from Wales but also
from elsewhere. |
| As a first step we would like to invite you to send
us a written statement of your views – we may then
wish to explore these in meetings with you later. |
| The Commission’s Terms
of Reference include two distinct elements relating
to |
| 1. the powers |
| 2. the electoral arrangements |
| of the National Assembly for Wales. This consultation
relates to the first of these – the Commission will
be issuing a further paper dealing with electoral issues
later. |
| The questions set out in the Consultation
Paper are intended to help recipients in commenting
on the issues but the aim is not to limit debate. If there
are any other issues which you feel are relevant to the
Terms of Reference
and which the Commission should consider please feel free
to include them in your response. |
| Submitting evidence |
| Responses to this paper can be submitted |
| |
| By e-mailing richard.commission@wales.gsi.gov.uk |
| By writing to the Secretary to the Richard Commission,
Caradog House, 1-6 Saint Andrews Place, Cardiff, CF10
3BE |
| Responses are sought by the end of February 2003.
It would be helpful if as many contributions as possible
could be received before this date. |
