Question to the Wales Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent on 24 March (HL15443), what steps the Wales Office has taken in the last year to meet its legal duty to keep under review the question of when uncommenced legislation that falls within its area of responsibility should be brought into force.

The Wales Office works closely with other government departments to keep the status of uncommenced legislation falling within areas of its responsibility under review. Decisions on commencement are taken in the normal course of policy making.
