New Clause 1 - Commissioner's annual report
Children's Commissioner for Wales Bill
12:30 pm
Ms Julie Morgan (Cardiff North, Labour)
Yes, we do get easy access to all reports produced by the National Assembly. Writing into the Bill that the commissioner's report should be submitted to this Parliament would undermine the way in which the system works. The Children's Commissioner should have wide-ranging powers, but his ability to comment and make representations on any powers that he has—or wishes that he had—should be channelled via a report to the National Assembly. The amendment should be resisted.
