This article addresses the means of creating legislation with specific application to Wales and examines the constitutional conventions, parliamentary procedures and political processes involved. The article employs as a case study The Local Government (Wales) Act 1994. Although there are parliamentary procedures available which would allow Welsh interests a privileged role in Welsh affairs, it is found that the national interests of the political parties ensure that government ministers and the majority party in the House of Commons ultimately retain control over Welsh affairs. Nevertheless it is found that there are active policy communities with specific concerns in Welsh affairs who are prominent actors and who do give the legislative process concerning Wales distinctively Welsh characteristics
