Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]

The Minister knows that innovative Welsh legislation is sometimes imitated in England—I am thinking of the children’s commissioner. However, I am not entirely light-hearted, because one of my constituents was removed to a home in England, and there were accusations that it might have been under duress. I have found it difficult to take that issue forward, and, as I understand it, the Welsh commissioner for older people would not be able to intervene on behalf of a Welsh person in English home.
