Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and noted that it was
clear from theWelsh Government’s response that it is not going to change its
position. In light of this, the Committee agreed there was nothing further it
could do but to thank the petitioner and close the petition.
Additionally, it was noted that the response had come from the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice rather than the First Minister even though responsibility for the Wales for Africa Programme had moved to the First Minister’s portfolio. Concerns were raised about accountability and the ability to scrutinise this issue as a result of this change, and the Committee agreed to write to the First Minister about this.
