Launch of report on the draft Wales Bill

The Constitution Unit and the Wales Governance Centre will launch a joint report on the draft Wales Bill next week with events in Cardiff and London. Alan Trench provides further details.

With a number of colleagues from the Constitution Unit¹ and the Wales Governance Centre², I have been working for some time on a major examination of the Draft Wales Bill published in October³. This follows our earlier report written over the summer on issues of a reserved powers model more generally. We ve now finished our work and are shortly going to launch our new report, which is entitled Challenge and Opportunity: The Draft Wales Bill 2015.

There will be two events one in Cardiff at lunchtime on Monday 1 February, and one in Westminster late in the afternoon of Tuesday 2 February. Both events are free to attend but registration is necessary.

The Cardiff event starts at 12.30 pm in the Main Hall of the Pierhead. Speakers will be Professor Rick Rawlings from UCL⁴, who drafted the report, Alan Cogbill who chaired the group, and Emyr Lewis of Blake Morgan⁵, another member of the group.

Fuller details and registration (through Eventbrite) are here⁶.

The London event will be at 5 pm and takes place in the Wilson Room inPortcullis House, on the Parliamentary Estate⁷. Speakers will include Rick Rawlings, Richard Wyn Jones and myself. Please allow plenty of time to get through Parliamentary security.

Email wgc@cardiff.ac.uk to register your attendance.
