Cadw writes that Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas AM assumed responsibility for the portfolio including the historic environment when he became Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport at the beginning of November 2017, and in his first ministerial appearance before the National Assembly for Wales on 21 November he announced that, following careful consideration of a business case examining future governance options, the Welsh Government’s Historic Environment Service (Cadw) would remain part of government.
A number of business improvements have been recommended to address issues raised in the recent review of heritage services in Wales.
