Proceeding contribution from Lord Rowlands (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL].


Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

I am not aware of that practice. If that is the case, the Minister can tell us about that. I am only saying that we should invest powerfully and heavily in the relationship between Assembly and Assembly Ministers and Whitehall. Those channels of communication have been really working rather well since the passage of the Government of Wales Act—better than many people thought that they would. That process would strengthen the observations or recommendations of the commissioner in some non-devolved areas, if such matters were properly taken through by the Assembly and Assembly Ministers to Whitehall.
