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 Assembly Government, local authorities or other bodies.

The Members' Research Service has compiled the table below, summarising the progress of all Third Assembly Committee inquiries.

Users requiring a file in an alternative format to that which is currently available on this website should contact us. We will do our best to accommodate all requests.
