It made 33 recommendations designed to give the Welsh government responsibility for raising around one quarter of its budget.
[9] After the 2015 United Kingdom general election a Wales bill was announced with the purpose of carrying forward the implementation of the recommendations into legislation.
Secretary of State for Wales, David Jones said: “We will consider implementing some of the changes the Commission has recommended during this Parliament.
These will therefore be a matter for the next Government and Parliament, and for political parties to set out their proposals and intentions to the electorate ahead of the General Election in 2015.”The proposals formed part of the UK Labour party's manifesto for the 2015 general election campaign[11] despite the suggestion of some Labour MPs that they might not.
