The appointment—in consultation, I hope, with the Welsh Government—of a commissioner with special responsibility for Wales is a statutory recognition that the Welsh Government have a valid case and a valid role to be involved with the Crown Estate’s activities in Wales. It goes further than just appointing one person. It is a signal of the direction in which I believe this House wants to see things move. If the Government want to see it move in that direction as well, all credit to them for that. I hope we can build on it.
