He said: "I’m delighted that the Welsh Government’s clear vision for a long term constitutional settlement for Wales within a devolved United Kingdom has formed the basis of the Commission’s recommendations to the UK Government.

"Achieving such a settlement could only strengthen the Union and Wales’s place within it.

"I’m therefore delighted the Commission agrees with us that powers over large scale energy consents and policing should be devolved to Wales."
