  • Learned Society of Wales Response Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee Consultation – a Stronger Voice for Wales September 2017
    Learned Society of Wales Response Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee Consultation – A Stronger Voice for Wales September 2017 1. The Learned Society of Wales (LSW) is an independent, all-Wales, self-governing, pan-discipline educational charity that was established in 2010. As Wales’s first National Academy of science and letters, the Learned Society of Wales, like similar societies in Ireland and Scotland, brings together the most successful and talented Fellows connected with Wales, for the shared purpose and common good of advancing and promoting excellence in all scholarly discipline across Wales. 2. The Learned Society of Wales welcomes this opportunity to submit comment to the Stronger Voice for Wales consultation. 3. Relations between Westminster/Whitehall and Cardiff of necessity assumed greater importance following devolution. The need for a better system of consultation and coordination grew with successive Government of Wales Acts. This development of devolution has increased the requirement for better functioning inter-governmental mechanisms. 4. In practice the process of consultation and coordination has been patchy. The lack of a coherent strategic approach to devolution hampered progress from the beginning. Additionally there was a tendency, still sometimes discernible, for parts of Whitehall to be reluctant to cede competence to devolved administrations, and even to seek to claw back powers which had been devolved. That risk is now in sharp focus in the draft EU Withdrawal Bill which by legislating for a retained EU law element would reduce and limit the exercise of powers already devolved to Wales. Additionally the public statements of some Ministers in London show scant regard or knowledge of the UK’s constitutional arrangements.
