The Commission on Devolution in Wales was launched by Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan on 11 October 2011. The Commission, chaired by Paul Silk, had eight unpaid members drawn from Welsh business, academia, the four main political parties and civic society.
The independent Commission was established to review the present financial and constitutional arrangements in Wales. It carried out and published its work in two parts. The commission reviewed the case for the devolution of fiscal powers to the Welsh Assembly and considered the case for increasing the powers of the Assembly.
The Commission was based at the Wales Office Cardiff headquarters, at Cardiff Bay and met for the first time on 4 November 2011 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.
The Commission published its report (and Executive Summary) on Part I, which looked at fiscal powers, on 19 November 2012.
On 3 March 2014, the Commission published its report (and Executive Summary) on Part II of its remit on the wider powers of the National Assembly for Wales.
