WQ95725 (e) Tabled on 04/02/2025

Will the Welsh Government be submitting evidence to the House of Commons's Committee Stage inquiry on the Crown Estates Bill in the House of Commons, supporting the amendment tabled by Llinos Medi MP on devolving the Crown Estates?

Answered by Counsel General and Minister for Delivery  | Answered on 11/02/2025

The Welsh Government does not submit evidence to UK Government Bill Committees. Members of the cabinet will engage directly with their counterparts, as the Welsh Government is not a stakeholder, it is a distinct government with its own electoral mandate.

We firmly believe that direct communication with UK Government colleagues is the most effective way to advocate for the devolution of The Crown Estate to Wales.
