Office of the Secretary of State for Wales

Answer

Mr. Wigley: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the legislation enacted during the present session which has made specific provisions for Wales arising from representations made by the National Assembly for Wales. [135742] Mr. Paul Murphy: I take very seriously my duty to consult the National Assembly on the Government's legislative programme. In addition to formal participation in an Assembly plenary session each year, this involves ongoing dialogue at both ministerial and official levels. It is largely by this means, rather than through representations, that we are able to take account of the Assembly's interests in current or forthcoming Bills. To date, the following Acts have included specific provisions for Wales which emerged from this partnership approach: Care Standards Act 2000 Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 Electronic Communications Act 2000 Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000 Learning and Skills Act 2000 Local Government Act 2000.
