Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (Representations and Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2008

I am glad to follow the noble Lord, Lord Glentoran, who asked a pertinent question about playing fields. I offer thanks to my noble friend for her observations. These regulations, notwithstanding their ordinariness, may make just a smidgeon of a constitutional advance. Whatever, they are surely to be welcomed. Mundane though parking matters may be, as the Explanatory Memorandum shows these regulations are yet another step down the devolutionary road. The Welsh Assembly and the Mother of Parliaments are now gingerly exploring the limitations and potential of their relationship, which is but eight years old in a nation that was recognisable from at least 400 or 500 AD. At paragraph 7.4 in the Explanatory Memorandum, regarding the responses to the documents, of which there were 16 in total, was there a theme and did the Welsh Local Government Association make a response? One assumes that it did, because it gives a strong lead to Wales’s local authorities. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Welsh Local Government Association has growing influence in the post-devolution scene. It has a lot to give and a lot to lead on. Can my noble friend say which local authorities in Wales responded to the consultation?
