Wales) To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales: 1.
Welcomes the Prime Minister’s commitment that Wales will be at the heart of the
debate on the future of the United Kingdom. 2.
Calls for bilateral talks that are informed by the Holtham and Silk 1
Commissions’ findings, including an updated assessment of the current level and
likely future direction of Welsh relative funding. 3.
Calls for those talks, which should begin immediately and be completed by

securing rapid implementation of a funding floor which both addresses
underfunding in a way that is consistent with Welsh needs and halts future
convergence. 4.
Calls for the UK Government to: a)
ensure that the same powers are given to Wales regarding the devolution of
Corporation Tax if they are
provided to Northern Ireland and
Scotland; b)
devolve Air Passenger Duty for direct long-haul flights; c)
review the level of the borrowing powers
afforded to Wales in the Wales Bill; and d)
work with the Welsh Government to enable it to issue its own bonds. 5.
Seeks recognition that if a decision is
taken to hold a Referendum on tax varying powers, this should reflect the view
of the people of Wales. 6.
Seeks confirmation that the Reserved Powers model will be instituted for Wales. 7.
Calls on the UK Government to give the National Assembly for Wales the power to
determine its electoral arrangements. 8.
Calls on the UK Government to make progress on Silk 2. 9.

Presiding Officer Statement The
Assembly has spoken with one voice today, setting out its priorities for the
future of devolution in Wales. This
cross-party motion sets out clear priorities. I now expect the UK Government to
deliver on its promise to put Wales at the heart of the UK’s devolution debate. It
is time for the Assembly to be recognised as a permanent legislature with the
right powers, capacity and status to deliver what the people of Wales now
expect. |
