Mr. Rhodri Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to consult the people of Wales on their preferred location for the Welsh Assembly. [18523]

Mr. Ron Davies

I am publishing a consultation paper on Monday. I am also arranging for pre-publication copies to be sent to all Welsh members and am making copies available in the Library of the House today so that members will have it in advance of Second Reading of the Government of Wales Bill.

Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to ensure that the Welsh Assembly has a duty to promote sustainable development; and in what form he will publish such proposals. [19117]

Mr. Ron Davies

Paragraph 1.24 of "A Voice for Wales" (Cm 3718) said that the Government would ensure that the Assembly promotes sustainable development. I plan to make an announcement to the House on this matter during Second Reading of the Government of Wales Bill.
