LAW-MAKING powers for the Assembly could pave the way towards a healthier, greener Wales with better transport and more accountable Government, a major report launched today argues.
The Institute of Welsh Affairs (IWA) has come up with concrete examples of policies a more powerful Assembly could bring forward and how these could change the face of national life.
Major pieces of legislation could include:
a Welsh Public Health Act which would cap the salt, fat and sugar content of food sold in Wales and require the Assembly to consider the health impact of any new law.
the creation of a new body called Transport Wales to make travelling by train and bus more affordable and convenient. Travellers could potentially gain a Welsh version of London’s Oyster card to allow them to use different forms of transport.
The real stitch up!

I don't consider politicians meddling with our food positive. I will make that choice myself than you. I want less government meddling if that's possible and I am passionate about devolution.....but all too often, many view it as a way to legislate the living day-lights out of people.
