Should welfare be devolved to Wales?

It seems the calls last year from the Scottish Council for VoluntaryAction (SCOVO) for welfare and social security to be devolved to the Scottish Government have reached the hallowed halls of Welsh Think Tank land as the Bevan Foundation in conjunction with the IWA’s ‘Changing Union’ project has launched an online survey to assess whether or not welfare in full or part should be devolved to the Welsh Government.

The survey is HERE if you are interested in participating or pass it on to those organisations who would benefit from participating and Bevan's preamble is HERE

For what it worth I doubt there will be any appetite in Wales for devolving something that involves taking responsibility for actions and taking away the comfort blanket of blaming the UK Government or the baby eating Tories for Wales’s ills, but maybe i’ll be surprised.
