We\u2019ll bring forward amendments later in the Bill\u2019s Lords stages to devolve another priority &#8211; the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and I hope to be able to announce further changes in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">I want a clear and lasting devolution settlement that works for Wales and for the UK as a whole. I am happy to consider devolving further powers to the Assembly and the Welsh Government where there\u2019s a clear purpose for doing so.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Monday 31 October The Wales Bill began its Committee stage in the House of Lords.
