Gwybodaeth ychwanegol at Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes a gyhoeddwyd gan, y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones, ar 15 Tachwedd 2012 Information further to Business Statement and Announcement issued by the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, on 15 November 2012 At/To Andrew R.T. Davies: During Plenary on Tuesday you raised two issues with Jane Hutt. Firstly you claimed that I had not issued a statement last week following my meeting with the Children’s Commissioner, Keith Towler. A joint statement was issued later that afternoon and a copy is attached for you to see. Secondly you questioned why the Welsh Seal is retained in Cathays Park. This is because Section 116 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 states that the First Minister is to be the Keeper of the Welsh Seal. The Clerk of the Assembly has to be notified once the Welsh Seal has been applied. This is the point at which the Bill receives Royal Assent. The application of the Welsh Seal is therefore clearly a matter for the Welsh Government. Gwybodaeth ychwanegol at OAQ(4)0753(FM) a gyhoeddwyd gan Lesley Griffiths, y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ar 21 Tachwedd 2012 Information further to OAQ(4)0753(FM) issued by Lesley Griffiths, the Minister for Health and Social Services, on 21 November 2012 At/To Elin Jones: During First Minister’s Questions on 13 November you discussed the closure of the Afallon Ward in Bronglais Hospital. The closure of the Afallon Ward in Bronglais Hospital is a matter for the Hywel Dda Health Board. I have, therefore, written to Mr Trevor Purt, the Chief Executive of the Health Board and asked him to write to you direct with an update on the closure of the Afallon Ward. .

The Welsh Seal of the National Assembly for Wales
The Welsh Seal of the National Assembly for Wales The Great Seal of the Realm is the chief seal of the Crown, used to show the Monarch's approval of important state documents. The practice of using this seal began in the reign of Edward the Confessor in the eleventh century, when a double-sided metal matrix with an image of the Sovereign was used to make an impression in wax for attachment by ribbon or cord to Royal documents. The seal meant that the monarch did not need to sign every official document in person; authorisation could be carried out instead by an appointed officer. Between 2007 and 2011 proposed Measures passed by the National Assembly for Wales were subject to “Royal Approval”. Separate Great Seals exist for Scotland and Northern Ireland and, from 2011, a Seal for Wales now exists. Royal Assent Royal Assent is the Monarch's agreement to make a Bill into an Act of the National Assembly for Wales. Royal Assent is conferred by the Monarch signing Letters Patent under the Welsh Seal. The Monarch's agreement to give her assent to a Bill is automatic. Student Research Look for examples of Seals using your school library, local library and the internet. Also research Signet Rings which were worn as jewellery and used by individuals to seal their initials or coat of arms into wax seals on important documents and letters.

Written Constitution for the UK
Contents Page Mapping the Path towards Codifying - or Not Codifying - the UK Constitution ROBERT BLACKBURN, PhD, LLD, Solicitor Professor of Constitutional Law Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies King's College London PROGRAMME OF RESEARCH Aims This programme of research has been prepared at the formal request1 of the House of Commons Political and Constitutional Reform Committee chaired by Graham Allen MP to assist its inquiry, and the policy debate generally, on the proposal to codify - or not - the UK constitution. The work been prepared in an impartial way, adopting a pragmatic approach to the issues involved, and does not seek to advocate either codification or non-codification. Its purpose is to inform the inquiry of the issues involved and, in the event that a government in the future might wish to implement such a proposal, it seeks to provide a starting point and set of papers to help facilitate the complex and sensitive issues of substance and process that would be involved. Structure of the Research The content starts (Part I) by identifying, and giving a succinct account of, the arguments for and against a written constitution, prepared in rhetorical manner. It then (Part II) sets out a series of three illustrative blueprints, prepared in the belief that a consideration of detailed alternative models on how a codified constitution might be designed and drafted will better inform and advance the debate on the desirability or not of writing down the constitution into one documentary source. These are - (1) Constitutional Code - a document sanctioned by Parliament but without statutory authority, setting out the essential existing elements and principles of the constitution and workings of government.

Referendum for Wales: Extending the Scope of Assembly Powers
Referendum for Wales: extending the scope of Assembly powers Standard Note: SN/PC/05685 Last updated: 27 October 2010 Author: Paul Bowers Section Parliament and Constitution Centre The National Assembly for Wales can pass laws, known as “measures”, on a restricted list of topics. These are set out in Schedule 5 of the Government of Wales Act 2006, where they are grouped under general headings (“fields”), and then broken down into more specific items (“matters”). This list can be expanded in two ways. On the one hand, Parliament can include a provision in an Act stating that some aspects of what the Act covers can be dealt with by the National Assembly for Wales. It does this by adding them to the list of matters in Schedule 5. On the other hand, the Assembly can request an Order in Council that specifies new topics on which it may legislate. These would usually be matters, in other words, items of some detail, although it is possible that they might include whole new fields. The Government of Wales Act 2006 also includes an arrangement whereby the Assembly could exercise primary law making powers in respect of a much greater number of issues, albeit still restricted within the same broad headings. This would be subject to approval in a referendum. It is contained in Part 4 of the Act. On 9 February 2010 the Assembly passed a Resolution calling for such a referendum. The First Minister gave notice of this to the Secretary of State on 17 February 2010. The Secretary of State had 120 days either to lay a draft statutory instrument containing the Order in Council for the referendum, or to refuse with reasons.
