Children's Commissioner for Wales (13 April 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions he has had with the Children's Commissioner for Wales about aligning her powers with those of the Children's Commissioner for England.

Asked by:
Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru)

Wales Office Ministers have not had any recent discussions with the Children’s Commissioner for Wales about aligning her powers with those of the Children’s Commissioner for England.

The Children’s Commissioner for Wales fulfils an important role in our efforts to protect children and I would of course be happy to meet with her if she feels her role and remit could be strengthened in any way.
