My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Wales has made the following Written Ministerial Statement. I am pleased to inform the House that the proposed National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Culture and other fields) Order 2009 has been laid today as Command Paper 7668. Copies of this can be found in the Printed Paper Office and will be placed in the Library from noon. I have written to the House of Lords Constitution Committee and to the House of Commons Welsh Affairs Select Committee to request that they undertake pre-legislative scrutiny.
