The future of Policing in Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 15 Jun 2026) Policing in Wales is reserved to the UK Government, with the Home Office bearing responsibility for publishing the most pressing national crime threats and how police forces ought to respond to them (the Strategic Policing Requirement), presenting the Annual Police Grant Report to Parliament for approval, and holding Police and Crime Commissioners accountable. As elected representatives, Police and Crime Commissioners are responsible for police governance, police oversight, and the commissioning of criminal justice services for their force area. A UK Government White Paper published in January outlined plans to abolish PCCs, the elected officials responsible for overseeing the budget and overall strategy of individual police forces in England and Wales. In England, their responsibilities will be taken on by elected regional mayors or council leaders, however it is not yet clear who will take on these functions in Wales. It also set out plans to merge a number of England and Wales’ 43 territorial police forces, although there is no clarity yet on what this could mean for Wales. |

Metal mine pollution in Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 19 Jun 2026) Once a major industry in Wales, mines extracting metals like zinc, lead and gold are now largely abandoned. But metals from these mines can discharge into local rivers, streams and lakes, damaging local plant and animal biodiversity and possibly impacting human health. Abandoned metal mines cause extensive pollution in Wales. Approximately 1,300 sites impact on water quality and ecology in over 700km of watercourses. The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) and Natural Resources Wales (NRW), since 2020, are addressing these impacts through the Metal (Non-Coal) Mines Programme, funded by the Welsh Government. As part of the Committee’s inquiry into ‘The environmental and economic legacy of Wales’ industrial past’ the Committee will hold a one-off evidence session on metal mines. |
