Уэльское правительство ( Уэльс : Cymru ) является исполнительным подразделением переданного правительства Уэльса . Llywodraeth Правительство состоит из секретарей и министров Кабинета министров . Он возглавляет первый министр , обычно лидер крупнейшей партии в Сенедде (Уэльский парламент; валлийский : Sendd Cymru ), которая выбирает министров с одобрением Sendd. Правительство несет ответственность за то, чтобы внедрила политика в переданных областях (таких как здравоохранение, образование, экономическое развитие, транспорт и местное правительство) за рассмотрение SEENDD и политику, которая была одобрена им. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Нынешнее правительство Уэльса является администрацией трудовых меньшинств после выборов SENEDD 2021 года . Его возглавляет Элунед Морган , который был первым министром Уэльса с августа 2024 года. [ 3 ]
История
[ редактировать ]Уэльский офис
[ редактировать ]До передачи в 1999 году многие исполнительные функции для Уэльса были выполнены государственным секретарем по Уэльсу и валлийским офисом . Уэльский офис был департаментом правительства Соединенного Королевства с обязанностями для Уэльса. Он был основан в апреле 1965 года для выполнения государственной политики в Уэльсе и возглавлял государственный секретарь по Уэльсу, пост, который был создан в октябре 1964 года. Однако у этой должности не было валлийского избирательного мандата, и в течение последующих лет были годы жалобы на «демократический дефицит». В течение одиннадцати лет до 1997 года Уэльс был представлен в кабинете Соединенного Королевства государственным секретарем, который не представлял валлийский округ в Вестминстере. Эти факторы привели к растущим призывам к политической передаче. Уэльский офис был расформирован 1 июля 1999 года, когда большинство его полномочий были переведены в Национальное собрание для Уэльса.
Исполнительный комитет Национального собрания Уэльса с 1999 по 2007 год

Национальное собрание было создано Законом о правительстве Уэльса 1998 года , который последовал за референдумом в 1997 году . Как изначально установилось, правительство Уэльса не имело независимых исполнительных полномочий в законе (в отличие от, например, шотландских министров и министров британского правительства). Национальное собрание было создано в качестве корпоративного корпорации в соответствии с Законом о правительстве Уэльского 1998 года, а исполнительная власть, как комитет Ассамблеи, имел только те полномочия, которые Ассамблея в целом проголосовала за делегировать министрам.
27 ноября 2001 года первый министр Родри Морган объявил, что бренд «Правительство Уэльского Ассамблеи» будет использоваться в будущем для комитета, чтобы более четко определить разделение функций в Ассамблее. [ 4 ] [ 5 ]
Закон правительства Уэльса 2006 года официально отделил Национальное собрание для Уэльса и правительства Уэльса, предоставив валлийским министрам министров, что вступило в силу после выборов в мае 2007 года . После разделения уэльские министры осуществляются сами по себе. Дальнейшие переводы исполнительных функций от британского правительства могут быть сделаны непосредственно для валлийских министров (с их согласия) по приказу в совете, утвержденном британским парламентом .
Separation was designed to clarify the respective roles of the assembly and the government. Under the structures established by the Government of Wales Act 2006, the role of Welsh ministers is to make decisions; develop and implement policy; exercise executive functions and make statutory instruments. The remainder of the 60 assembly members in the National Assembly scrutinise the government's decisions and policies; hold ministers to account; approve budgets for the Welsh Government's programmes; and enact acts of assembly on subjects that have been devolved to the Welsh administration.
The result mirrored much more closely the relationship between the British government and British parliament and that between the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament.
After the 2007 election of the National Assembly for Wales
[edit]Legal separation
[edit]The new arrangements provided for in the Government of Wales Act 2006 created a formal legal separation between the National Assembly for Wales, comprising 60 assembly members, and the Welsh Assembly Government, comprising the first minister, Welsh ministers, deputy ministers and the counsel general. This separation between the two bodies took effect on the appointment of the first minister by Queen Elizabeth II following the assembly election on 3 May 2007.
Separation was meant to clarify the respective roles of the assembly and the government. The role of the government is to make decisions; develop and implement policy; exercise executive functions and make statutory instruments. The 60 assembly members in the National Assembly scrutinise the Welsh Government's decisions and policies; hold ministers to account; approve budgets for the Welsh Government's programmes; and have the power to enact assembly measures on certain matters. Assembly measures can now go further than the subordinate legislation which the assembly had the power to make prior to 2007.
Transfer of functions
[edit]The assembly's functions, including that of making subordinate legislation, in the main, transferred to the Welsh ministers upon separation. A third body was also established under the 2006 Act from May 2007, called the National Assembly for Wales Commission. It employs the staff supporting the new National Assembly for Wales, and holds property, enters into contracts and provides support services on its behalf.
Welsh ministers
[edit]The 2006 Act made new provision for the appointment of Welsh ministers. The first minister is nominated by the Senedd and then appointed by His Majesty the King. The first minister then appoints the Welsh ministers and the deputy Welsh ministers with the approval of the monarch. The Act created a new post of Counsel General for Wales, the principal source of legal advice to the Welsh Government. The counsel general is appointed by the monarch, on the nomination of the first minister, whose recommendation must be agreed by the Senedd and who cannot be dismissed without the Senedd's consent, but automatically leaves office when a new first minister is nominated. The counsel general may be, but does not have to be, a member of the Senedd. The Act permits a maximum of 12 Welsh ministers, which includes deputy Welsh ministers, but excludes the first minister and the counsel general. Accordingly, the maximum size of the Welsh Government is 14.
In Acts of the Senedd and of the UK Parliament, the expression "the Welsh Ministers" is used to refer to the Welsh government in similar contexts to those where "the Secretary of State" would be used to refer to the British government; it is defined to include only the first minister and ministers, not the deputy ministers or the counsel general.[6]
2011 referendum on law-making powers
[edit]Functions and areas of competence
[edit]Following the "yes" vote in the referendum on further law-making powers for the assembly on 3 March 2011, the Welsh Government is now entitled to propose bills to the National Assembly for Wales on subjects within 20 fields of policy. Subject to limitations prescribed by the Government of Wales Act 2006, Acts of the National Assembly may make any provision that could be made by Act of Parliament. The 20 areas of responsibility devolved to the National Assembly for Wales (and within which Welsh ministers exercise executive functions) are:
- Agriculture, fisheries, forestry and rural development
- Ancient monuments and historical buildings
- Culture
- Economic development
- Education and training
- Environment
- Fire and rescue services and promotion of fire safety
- Food
- Health and social services
- Highways and transport
- Housing
- Local government
- National Assembly for Wales
- Public administration
- Social welfare
- Sport and recreation
- Tourism
- Town and country planning
- Water and flood defences
- Welsh language
Renaming
[edit]The Welsh Assembly Government was renamed Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru) in practice in 2011, and in law by the Wales Act 2014.[7][8]
Cabinet secretaries and ministers
[edit]The government is composed of cabinet secretaries and ministers. The current government is a minority by Welsh Labour.
The current cabinet was formed on 11 September 2024, replacing the interim cabinet[9][10] formed by Morgan when she was appointed First Minister in August 2024, which was largely a continuation of Gething's. In the September reshuffle, new positions were created, while all existing ministers remained in cabinet (except the Counsel General-designate) but most with amended roles. The September 2024 cabinet is as follows:[11]

Cabinet secretaries and ministers were known as ministers and deputy ministers respectively before 2016, and under Mark Drakeford from 2018 to 2024. They returned to their current names in May 2024 following the appointment of Vaughan Gething.[12]
Civil service
[edit]The Welsh Government also includes a civil service that supports the Welsh ministers. As of March 2018, there are 5,015 full-time equivalent civil servants working across Wales.[13] The civil service is a matter reserved to the British Parliament at Westminster: Welsh Government civil servants work within the rules and customs of His Majesty's Civil Service, but serve the devolved administration rather than the British Government.[14]
Permanent secretary
[edit]The Permanent secretary heads the civil service of the Welsh Government and chairs the Strategic Delivery and Performance Board.
The Permanent Secretary is a member of His Majesty's Civil Service, and therefore takes part in the Permanent Secretaries Management Group of the Civil Service[15] and is answerable to the most senior civil servant in Britain, the Cabinet Secretary, for professional conduct. The permanent secretary remains, however, at the direction of the Welsh ministers.

The Board
[edit]The Welsh Government Board translates the strategic direction set by the Welsh cabinet and its committees into work that is joined up across Welsh Government departments and makes the best use of its resources. The board is made up of six directors general, six directors and four non-executive directors, and is chaired by the permanent secretary.
Board members are appointed at the discretion of and by the permanent secretary. Membership is not wholly dependent on functional responsibilities; it is designed to provide balanced advice and support to the permanent secretary, and collective leadership to the organisation as a whole.[18][needs update]

Welsh Government sponsored bodies
[edit]The Welsh Government is responsible for a number of Welsh Government sponsored bodies (WGSBs). These are, respectively,
- executive WGSBs, which are non-departmental public bodies such as the Arts Council of Wales;
- advisory WGSBs, which are non-departmental public bodies; and
- tribunals such as the Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales.
WGSBs are staffed by public servants rather than civil servants.
The Welsh Government is also responsible for some public bodies that are not classed as WGSBs, such as NHS Wales, and the Welsh Offices of England and Wales legal offices.
Estate
[edit]The Welsh Government has a total of 18 core and operational offices across Wales. It also has an office based in Westminster. Additionally, it has 7 specialist properties across Wales, which include stores, traffic management centres and the pavilion at the Royal Welsh Showground.
The Government also has 21 offices located in 11 countries outside the United Kingdom: Belgium; Canada; China; France; Germany; Ireland; India; Japan; Qatar; United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America.[19]
Historically, most Welsh Office staff were based in Cardiff, especially in Cathays Park. However, in 2002, the Fullerton Review concluded that "the Assembly could no longer sustain having the majority of its operational functions located in and around Cardiff".[20] Since 2004, Welsh Government civil servants have been relocated across Wales as part of the Location Strategy, which involved the creation of new offices at Merthyr Tydfil, Aberystwyth and Llandudno Junction.[21] In 2006, the mergers of Education and Learning Wales, the Wales Tourist Board and the Welsh Development Agency into the Welsh Government brought these agencies' offices into the Welsh Government estate.
The office of the First Minister is in Tŷ Hywel in Cardiff Bay; an office is also kept at the Welsh Government building in Cathays Park where the majority of Cardiff-based Welsh Government civil servants are located.

Cathays Park 2, Cathays Park is the home to many of the Welsh Government's civil servants -

Llandudno Junction offices -
Aberystwyth offices
Budget
[edit]Wales receives a budget allocation from the UK Government[22] determined by the Barnett formula, which makes up roughly 80% of the Welsh budget. The remaining 20% comes from devolved taxes such as non-domestic rates, land transaction tax, landfill disposal tax and the Welsh rates of income tax. These taxes are collected and managed by the Welsh Revenue Authority, except for income tax which is collected by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs on behalf of the Welsh Government.
The Welsh Government sets out its spending and financing plans for the forthcoming financial year in the autumn.
The Senedd scrutinises the budget and associated taxation and spending plans.
