WQ100656 (e) Tabled on 22/09/2026

How will the National Commission for Wales consult with the UK Government, the Ministry of Defence, senior leadership in the British Armed Forces and British national security and intelligence organisations regarding national security considerations when reviewing options for Wales's constitutional future?

Answered by First Minister | Answered on 29/09/2026

It will be for the National Commission to decide how it gathers evidence and engages with stakeholders. I expect the Commission to draw on a wide range of expertise and perspectives as it undertakes its work to ensure that its considerations are informed by a broad evidence base.
