Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 November 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Social Welfare and Other Fields) Order 2008.


National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Social Welfare and Other Fields) Order 2008

I am not terribly happy with the response on the obvious gap between the English and Welsh commissioners for children. I would like stronger reassurance that the Government will focus and take some action, whatever it may be and regardless of whether it is at administrative level and, therefore, below legislative level. If the Government and the department focus on that with both commissioners and their officials, I feel that the gap could be addressed.
