The Council of the Nations and Regions is an interesting and, in many ways, welcome innovation. It is already well established in our constitutional settlement and the Government are making regular use of it. Indeed, one Member of your Lordships’ House has been sent here in part for her work as the Prime Minister’s special envoy to the Council of the Nations and Regions —I do not know whether the noble Baroness can tell us whether a new special envoy has been appointed in succession to her.
