A commission set up to advise on Wales’ infrastructure needs over the next 80 years does not know its own future beyond 2026, a committee heard.

David Clubb, chair of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales (NICW), told the Senedd’s environment committee no formal commitment has been given on its future.

He said: “My feeling is the commission in its current form will be maintained until May 2026 but because it’s a non-statutory body, there’s no guarantee that an incoming minister might say ‘well that’s fulfilled its task - now it’s time to close it down’.”
