The Welsh Committee of the AJTC (Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council) will be formally constituted on 1st June 2008. More details will be posted on this site in due course.
In accordance with the Act, the membership of the Welsh Committee will be made up of:
the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration; the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales; the one or two members of the AJTC who are appointed by the Welsh Ministers; and two or three other persons, not being members of the AJTC, appointed by the Welsh Ministers.
The Welsh Committee of AJTC must be able to act for Wales in the same way as happens in Scotland.
The Scottish Committee deals directly with the Scottish Government in considering and commenting upon proposals coming before the Scottish Parliament and Committee members formulate the Scottish input to UK-wide matters being considered by the AJTC itself.
The Committee produces its own Annual Report to the Scottish Ministers which is laid before the Scottish Parliament. Its formal meetings take place at its offices in Edinburgh.
