Draft Transport (Wales) Bill - Joint scrutiny with Welsh Affairs Committee

Introduction

The Economic Development and Transport Committee has undertaken a scrutiny of the Draft Transport (Wales) Bill jointly with the Welsh Affairs Committee of the House of Commons. This followed the recommendation in the report of the Procedure Committee of the House of Commons: "Joint Activities with the National Assembly for Wales.'' In order to do this, both the House of Commons and the National Assembly for Wales amended their Standing Orders to enable the two Committees to attend each other’s meetings.

Evidence was taken jointly both at the National Assembly in Cardiff and at the House of Commons.

This report presents the findings of the Economic Development and Transport Committee of the National Assembly for Wales and draws on this evidence and the discussions the Committee has held with the Welsh Affairs Committee. While many of the recommendations contained within this report agree with those within the Welsh Affairs Committee’s own report on the draft Bill, it is nonetheless, the Economic Development and Transport Committee’s report.
