Jo Stevens MP

Secretary of State for Wales

11 October 2024

Dear Jo,

I wrote to you on 16 July 2024 to congratulate you on your appointment as Secretary of State for Wales, and to suggest a meeting about the future of The Crown Estate.

The National Infrastructure Commission for Wales has recommended that The Crown Estate’s current activities and functions be wholly devolved to a new Wales-based body which can properly prioritise investment for the people of Wales, in accordance with Welsh legislation and priorities.

You were kind enough to make an initial response, but we have not yet received any communication about the issue of The Crown Estate.

We look forward to hearing from you about this at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Dr David Clubb

Cadeirydd/Chair
