§ 7. Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received about the concordats between the national assembly and UK Government Departments. [38006]
§ Mr. Ron DaviesI have received a number of representations about concordats since the White Paper was published.
Concordats are intended to preserve the good working relationships that exist between my Department and Whitehall so that the work of the Assembly will be conducted effectively. My officials are currently discussing concordats with other departments and as I have told the House previously, the drafts will be published when they are ready although I do not expect them to be available until after the Government of Wales Bill has completed its passage through Parliament.
