Purpose of the consultation
Terms of reference
The
terms of reference for the inquiry were to consider:
- arguments for and
against the devolution of welfare benefits;
- lessons learned from the
devolution of some social security powers to Scotland;
- options for different
forms of devolution (i.e. Universal Credit flexibilities, the devolution
of specific benefits, the ability to create new benefits etc.);
- practical
considerations of devolution (i.e. the financial implications, integration
of devolved and non-devolved systems, delivery infrastructure etc.); and
- the
principles that could underpin the delivery of benefits in Wales.
