HC Deb 16 December 1998 vol 322 c605W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which of his Department's expenditure responsibilities will be transferred to the National Assembly for Wales once that body has been established. [63658]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

The Government of Wales Act 1998 provided for a Transfer of Functions Order to be made to transfer Ministerial functions to the National Assembly for Wales. This Order was published in draft for consultation on 12 November. Until the content of the order has been finalised, it is not possible to state with certainty what functions and associated expenditure will transfer.
