In this episode, the IWA's director Auriol Miller discusses all things federalism with David Melding, Conservative MS for South Wales Central from 1999-2021, acting as Deputy Presiding Officer from 2011-2016, and Glyndwr Cennydd Jones, advocate for a UK-wide constitutional convention.

Welcome to the first episode of our podcast series Wales: A Work in Progress, the companion piece of our project on the constitutional future of Wales supported by the Legal Education Foundation. This week, we explore federalism.

In this series, we explore options for Wales' future in conversation with experts and people interested in shaping the way forward for our country.

In keeping with the IWA's independence, we don't take position - rather, we want to give voice to different options and examine the evidence to understand what the best path might be for Wales, and why.
