Letter from Rt Hon Peter Hain, Secretary
of State, Wales Office, to the Chairman
PRE-LEGISTLATIVE SCRUTINY OF THE ADDITIONAL
LEARNING NEEDS PROPOSED DRAFT ORDER IN COUNCIL
I am writing to invite you and your Committee
to undertake pre-legistlative scrutiny of the Additional Learning
Needs proposed draft Order in Council. As you will be aware the
Order was originally published in draft by the Welsh Assembly
Government on 11 June. During the intervening period my officials
have been working with colleagues in the Welsh Assembly Government
to seek the agreement of Whitehall Departments to this Order.
I am pleased to say that the UK Government has given its consent
to this Order being presented to Parliament for pre-legislative
scrutiny and I would be grateful if you could make the necessary
arrangements for this to happen. I enclose a copy of the Order
along with an accompanying Explanatory Memorandum prepared by
the Welsh Assembly Government.
May I take this opportunity to thank you once
again for agreeing to take on this demanding but important role
and I look forward to working with you.
