The UK Government has no intention to devolve social security to the Welsh Government. The Committee’s report acknowledges the advantages of the current system, highlighting its strength during the Covid response. The evidence gathered during the inquiry showed that attitudes to the idea of devolving social security to Senedd Cymru / the Welsh Parliament vary significantly in terms of policy, operational and funding implications.
