TITLE	Statement on the progress of the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales
DATE	23 May 2023
BY	Mick Antoniw MS, Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution

In November I provided a progress report on the work of the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales.

This is the latest progress report received from the Co-chairs since the Commission produced its interim report in December https://www.gov.wales/independent-commission-on-the-constitutional-future-of-wales-progress-report.

I would particularly draw your attention to the digital platform Engagement Space (useyourvoice.wales) / Y Safle Sgwrsio (defnyddiadylais.cymru). As I have said previously, it is important the work of the Commission is grounded in the everyday experience and views of communities throughout Wales, and I would urge you to encourage people from the communities you represent to engage with the Commission and make their views known.

The First Minister, Adam Price MS, and I met the Co-chairs earlier this month for a regular update on their work so far. We have been assured the Commission is on course to publish its final report, including recommendations, by the end of 2023.
