Select Committee Inquiry
11 Dec 2024
The operation of the Windsor Framework
Northern Ireland Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 31 Jan 2025)


The committee is undertaking an inquiry into the operation of the Windsor Framework in Northern Ireland, scrutinising the implementation of commitments from the movement of goods to rights obligations.

Read our call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry and how to contribute your views

17 Dec 2024
The Government's new approach to addressing the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 5 Feb 2025)


The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee is launching an inquiry into Government policy on the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland.

 

On 4 December 2024, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland announced the Government’s next steps to ‘repeal and replace’ the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023. This inquiry will examine the Government’s outlined approach, which includes a commitment to restart civil cases and to legislate on inquests, information disclosure and the powers of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). It will ask whether the Government’s proposals deliver for victims, survivors and their families, and also explore areas where the Government’s plans remain unclear, such as on its approach to reconciliation.

 

Read our call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry and how to contribute your views.

Public Bodies
Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 7 Feb 2025)


Governments have created Public Bodies when it is felt that certain functions are best conducted outside the normal departmental structures and at some distance from direct ministerial control. There are currently around 500, though classification can be vague. They vary hugely in terms of their size, governance arrangements, and the types of roles they perform. They are ‘owned’ by their sponsoring department but subject to Cabinet Office and HM Treasury guidance. This states that that they should only be created and continue to operate as a last resort and when:

  • A Public Body is required to perform a highly technical function
  • It is required to perform activities that require political impartiality
  • It needs to act independently to establish facts?

However, new ones continue to be created: the Government has launched several in its first months and plans for others have been announced.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.

12 Dec 2024
The environmental and economic legacy of Wales' industrial past
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 2 Feb 2025)


Wales has a proud industrial heritage based on activities such as coal mining, slate quarrying, copper smelting, steelmaking and manufacturing among others.

Today, most of the heavy industries that powered the Welsh economy during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have gone. This inquiry will examine their environmental legacy, the economic impact of their decline, and what it means for Wales as it transitions to the green and digital economies.
