The draft Wales Bill was published following the recommendations of the Silk Commission in November 2012. It sets out to devolve tax and borrowing powers to the Welsh Government and National Assembly for Wales, make changes to the electoral arrangements of the National Assembly for Wales, and clarify and update the devolution settlement. The Government hopes that the provisions in the draft Wales Bill will enable devolved governance in Wales to become more accountable. The cross-party Committee believes partial devolution of income tax to the Welsh Government should be put to the people of Wales in a referendum. The cross-party Committee also has sympathy with the argument that the issue of "fair funding" must be resolved before any income tax powers are devolved so that Wales is not unfairly disadvantaged. The issue of fair funding - how the size of the block grant from the UK Government is determined, currently by the Barnett formula which has long been criticised as providing an unfairly low allocation to Wales - needs to be examined and should not wait until after the 2015 General Election. The National Assembly for Wales should have power to decide its own Assembly term length, rather than this being decided at Westminster. The Committee recommends the clause in the draft Bill which permanently extends the length of the Assembly from four to five years should be scrapped and replaced with provisions that give the National Assembly the powers to determine the length of its own electoral term.

Due to the compressed nature of pre-legislative scrutiny, the Committee was not able to cover all provisions in the draft Bill in detail. Evidence covered a number of areas, but the three main aspects of the draft Bill that were raised, and on which this Report focuses, are: the transition to a reserved powers model; the reservation of criminal and private law and the necessity tests; and the consenting arrangements. The majority of witnesses have suggested improvements to the draft Bill. Some of these, such as replacing the "necessity" test with a test that is clearer and has a lower threshold, and that in relation to Ministerial consent, that the UK Government transfers to the Welsh Ministers all Ministerial functions in areas of devolved legislative competence, the Committee have been able to agree upon. Some of the evidence received raised other important and relevant issues; in particular many witnesses proposed a form of distinct legal jurisdiction. This issue may not have been apparent to all potential witnesses at the outset of the inquiry, so the Committee cannot be confident they received all relevant evidence on this important subject. They now ask the Secretary of State to reflect on the recommendations. There is a growing body of Welsh law that differs from that which applies in England, but the implications of this requires careful scrutiny. The Committee shares the view of the Silk Commission, that the UK and Welsh governments will need to continue to review the issue of a separate or distinct Welsh jurisdiction

The Government of Wales Bill will have constitutional implications that the Select Committee on the Constitution believes require scrutiny. The Bill seeks to take the next step in the devolutionary process and sets out five main aims: to differentiate between the National Assembly for Wales from the Government of the Assembly; to alter the way people are elected to the Assembly, preventing persons standing simultaneously as a candidate on a regional list and for a constituency; develop the law-making powers of the Assembly, delegated through Parliament; set out a scheme for the devolution of primary legislative powers to the Assembly; establish a Welsh Consolidated Fund. The Committee views the Bill as containing provisions of constitutional significance not only to Wales but for the future of the United Kingdom's scheme of devolution generally. The report sets out the background to the Bill, and examines the major constitutional issues.
