Enclosure: Strand One information paper on the proposed committee arrangements for the National Assembly for Wales

Monday, 23 February 1998

i27919

The document, dated 23 February 1998, outlines the British Government's proposals for the establishment of a National Assembly for Wales, as detailed in the White Paper 'A Voice for Wales' and the Government of Wales Bill. The proposed model combines elements of parliamentary executive and local government systems, with a significant emphasis on the use of various committees, including Subject Committees with executive powers, an Executive Committee, Scrutiny Committees, and Regional Committees. The membership of these committees is designed to reflect the political balance within the Assembly, except for the Executive Committee and Regional Committees, which may not necessarily follow this rule. The document also details the roles and responsibilities of Assembly Secretaries, the process for drafting Standing Orders by a Commission appointed by the Secretary of State, and the establishment of a National Assembly Advisory Group to ensure inclusive and consensus-driven governance.
