New Welsh Adviser for Crown Estate – Welcome, but Doesn’t Go Far Enough
5 Nov 2024
Responding to the news that a commissioner to represent Wales will be appointed to the Crown Estate, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Wales in the House of Lords Baroness Christine Humphreys said:
“While today’s announcement is a welcome step in the right direction, it still falls short of giving Wales the same legal structures, accountability, and control of financial levers that Scotland has over the Crown Estate.
“The Welsh Liberal Democrats will continue to campaign for the full devolution of the Crown Estate, to ensure that the profits made from the production of renewable energy on Welsh land, benefits Welsh communities.”
