Invitation to Carwyn Jones AM, Minister for Environment,
Planning and Countryside, to submit concluding evidence to the Commission
I am writing to invite you to give evidence to the Commission before we conclude our formal evidence gathering in July. We would like to give you the opportunity both to update your predecessor’s earlier evidence and to present any new information that you feel would be helpful to our inquiry.
The particular issues that the Commission would like to pursue with you are as follows:
  • update on the transfer of animal health powers
  • progress with proposals for the reform of common land legislation and the likely timetable on this
  • the Assembly’s powers for the management and policing of inshore fisheries, and how these fit with the UK Government’s plans for a long-term strategy for sustainable sea fishing in the UK.
The Commission would be most grateful for your help with the concluding stage of our work.
