Book Description
A key factor in the success of Welsh devolution will be the effectiveness of the legislative relationship between the UK Parliament and the Welsh Assembly. Westminster retains exclusive power to pass primary legislation for Wales and to grant the Assembly specific powers to make secondary legislation. The Committee's report reviews this relationship and assesses whether improvements could be made. Recommendations include: the need for greater consistency in the conferral of additional powers to the Assembly to aid scrutiny procedures, and that the Wales Office should provide funding for Wales Legislation Online, the only current comprehensive database on the powers of the National Assembly. To aid effective consultation, the Government should consult the Assembly on legislation in any of the devolved fields, even if the legislation has no direct impact on Assembly powers. The Committee states its intention to submit proposals for formal joint meetings between House of Commons Select Committees and those of the Assembly to explore how Assembly members can make their views formally known at Westminster on legislation that will directly affect Wales; and also recommends that the Government set out its position on the Rawlings Principles.

Book Description
This paper contains the draft Water Bill itself and explains the context and rationale for its measures. The draft Water Bill will deliver legislative commitments set out in the Water White Paper (Cm. 8230, ISBN 9780101823029). It will, implement a package of retail and upstream market reforms; allow complementary changes to Ofwat's regulatory regime; allow the scope of the environmental permitting regulations to be extended from prevention of pollution to include the abstraction and impounding of water, flood defence consenting and fish pass approvals; and make minor changes to existing legislation to reduce and simplify regulatory and administrative burdens. The reforms will mainly apply to England and Wales but will also allow for a joint water and sewerage retail market with Scotland

Book Description
This Welsh Affairs Committee report, "Globalisation and its impact on Wales" (HC 184-I, ISBN 9780215526373), examines the effects of global trade on a variety of economic sectors, including employment and skills, broadcasting, and food supply and production. The Committee found evidence of existing skills gaps in Wales, for example in specialist areas such as science, and recommends that to avoid dependence on low skilled, low paid jobs, the UK and Welsh Assembly Governments work with the higher education sector to raise the skills base. Universities are the drivers of the knowledge economy, which is key to success in the global marketplace. The Committee believes it is imperative that the UK and Welsh Assembly Governments fully integrate the commercial potential of higher education into their policies. Welsh companies can increase their value and stimulate the local economy by exploiting a strong local identity and values, and by making use of higher level and specialist skills to offer premium goods and services that cannot be sourced abroad, particularly in the farming and food production industries, where Wales is developing a global reputation for excellence. Also in the report, the Committee: welcomes the use of innovative methods of broadcasting used by S4C to engage with audiences outside Wales; recommends the commissioning of more programmes reflective of Welsh identity; supports initiatives helping Welsh companies to exploit their global potential in the creative industries.
