Impact Assessment
Title: Impact Assessment (IA) Wales Bill IA No: N/A Date: 10/06/2014 Lead department or agency: Stage: Final Wales Office Source of intervention: Domestic Other departments or agencies: Type of measure: Primary legislation HM Treasury and HM Revenue and Customs Contact for enquiries: Stuart Doubleday 0207 270 0579 Summary: Intervention and Options RPC Opinion: Not Applicable Cost of Preferred (or more likely) Option Total Net Present Business Net Net cost to business per In scope of One-In, Measure qualifies as Value Present Value year (EANCB on 2009 prices) Two-Out? No NA What is the problem under consideration? Why is government intervention necessary? The Wales Bill provides the legislative framework to support the implementation of the recommendations made in the Commission on Devolution in Wales's (Silk Commission) Part I report, published in November 2012 and the green paper on future electoral arrangements for the National Assembly for Wales ("the Assembly") published in May 2012. What are the policy objectives and the intended effects? The Bill would move the Assembly to five year fixed terms with the aim of making it less likely that Assembly elections would coincide with UK parliamentary elections, and introduce additional electoral provisions to make Assembly elections fairer. The Bill devolves tax and borrowing powers to the Assembly and the Welsh Ministers, giving the Welsh Government more tools to promote economic growth and grow the Welsh economy, and making the devolved institutions more accountable by making them accountable for raising some of the money they spend. What policy options have been considered, including any alternatives to regulation? Please justify preferred option (further details in Evidence Base) The provisions relating to elections to the Assembly were subject to a public consultation between May and August 2012. -
