QuickGuides available from the Members' Research Service

Note: QuickGuides are compiled for the benefit of Assembly Members and their support staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of these briefs with Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. Any comments on QuickGuides should be sent to the Members’ Research Service, National Assembly for Wales, Cardiff CF99 1NA or via email at:

In accordance with the National Assembly for Wales Welsh Language Scheme, documents that are not primarily drafted for use by the public, are generally produced in English only. Nonetheless, we endeavour to make some Members' Research Service publications available in Welsh also after taking account of their subject matter, length and life span.
