Whether it was a coincidence or not the cross party Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Welsh Assembly published an important report today calling among other things on the Welsh Assembly Government to produce a ‘White Paper’ ahead of publishing a measure to improve the legislative process in Cardiff Bay by giving more details of their policy plans.
So far from promoting a lack of scrutiny and WAG rushing through legislation as many no campaigners claim, the Assembly and its Members are actively looking at its performance to date in terms of making laws here in Wales and considering what’s good and what needs improving.
They made 16 recommendations in total that will need a response from the First Minister and his Cabinet and the report will no doubt be debated in the Chamber, all good stuff that should strengthen the YES Campaigns arguments in the days and weeks ahead.
No legislature is perfect, but this is a positive step forward that the Committee and its members should be commended for.
