MPs gave the Wales Bill an unopposed 3rd reading in the House of Commons last month, and .

 

Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, said:

 

“The Wales Bill is a landmark piece of legislation for Wales which will offer greater clarity and accountability than ever before in the devolved era.

 

“Labour had 13 years in power to address concerns over where power resides and made no meaningful attempt to establish a lasting settlement. Whereas Conservatives have delivered a significant breakthrough, demonstrating our party’s commitment to devolution and the place of Wales as a full partner in the UK.

 

“We now have an opportunity to move on from constitutional affairs, and the Welsh Government must now make best use of the tools at its disposal and deliver for Welsh communities; creating jobs, developing the Welsh economy and improving our public services.”
