Purpose of the consultation
The Environment and
Sustainability Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the general
principles of the Well-being of
Future Generations (Wales) Bill.
The terms of reference for the inquiry are:
To consider—
1.
How the Welsh Government should legislate to put
sustainability and sustainable development at the heart of government and the
wider public sector;
2.
The general principles of the Well-being of Future
Generations (Wales) Bill and the need for legislation in the following areas –
-
The “common aim” and “sustainable development principle”
established in the Bill and the “public bodies” specified;
-
The approach to improving well-being, including setting of
well-being goals, establishment of objectives by public bodies and the duties
imposed on public bodies;
-
The approach to measuring progress towards achieving
well-being goals and reporting on progress;
-
The establishment of a Future Generations Commissioner for
Wales, the Commissioner’s role, powers, responsibility, governance and
accountability; and
-
The establishment of statutory Public Services Boards,
assessments of local Well-being and development / implementation of local
well-being plans.
3.
How effectively the Bill addresses Welsh international
obligations in relation to sustainable development;
4.
Any potential barriers to the implementation of these
provisions and whether the Bill takes account of them;
5.
Whether there are any unintended consequences arising from
the Bill;
6.
The financial implications of the Bill (as set out in Part 2
of the Explanatory Memorandum and Regulatory Impact Assessment; which estimates
the costs and benefits of implementation of the Bill); and
7.
the appropriateness of the powers in the Bill for Welsh
Ministers to make subordinate legislation (as set out in Chapter 5 of Part 1 of
the Explanatory Memorandum, which contains a table summarising the powers for
Welsh Ministers to make subordinate legislation).
