National Assembly for Wales

Progress of Scrutiny Committee Inquiries

The Assembly's committees conduct inquiries into a wide range of issues which affect the people of Wales. Following an inquiry, committees will normally produce a report which contains policy recommendations to the Welsh government, local authorities or other bodies.

The Members' Research Service has compiled this page, summarising the progress of all Third Assembly committee inquiries.
