§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to ensure that proposed legislation on housing takes due consideration of its impact on Wales. [135410]
§ Mr. HansonI have a statutory duty to consult with the National Assembly for Wales about the Government's legislative programme for each session of Parliament. However, my office and other Government Departments also liaise closely with the Assembly as policy develops. This means that consideration will already have been given to many Wales-specific issues before the commencement of the statutory consultation.
