Silk Commission

The Silk Commission was a group established by the UK government to review and recommend how Wales should receive financial powers and greater control over devolved issues, such as taxation and public services. It aimed to address the level of financial independence Wales should have within the UK framework, ensuring fair funding and decision-making. The Commission's findings helped shape the bid for increased Welsh autonomy, leading to changes in how Wales manages its budget and responsibilities, fostering a more empowered and self-governing Welsh Assembly.
