At the end of every Assembly, committees look back on the work they’ve done over the previous five years, and think about the advice they want to leave for the next committee.
They are a useful source of information for new committees, the Members who serve on them and for anyone who takes an interest in their work. They can help all of us to understand what has happened in the past, and the forces that will influence what happens next.
