HL Deb 11 October 2004 vol 665 c1WA
Baroness Finlay of Llandaff

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will insert into the Explanatory Notes accompanying each Bill a table listing all the provisions that give powers to the National Assembly for Wales, in order to assist in tracking Bills as they apply to Wales. [HL4104]

The Lord President of the Council (Baroness Amos)

The guidance issued to departments already states that, where a Bill affects the National Assembly for Wales, or otherwise affects Wales in a different way from the rest of the jurisdiction covered by a Bill, the Explanatory Notes should list all the clauses and paragraphs on schedules to the Bill that affect the powers of the National Assembly. It will be suggested to departments that they present this in a tabular form where appropriate.
