The inaugural lecture has been timed to coincide with the publication of the annual report of the National Assembly for Wales’s independent Commissioner for Standards, Gerard Elias QC.

“It is a great honour for me to welcome such a leading figure within the judiciary to address an audience at the Assembly,” said Mr Elias.

“It is a unique opportunity for us to hear his insight into the issues of standards in public life.

“I will publish my annual report to coincide with the Lord Chief Justice’s lecture which will outline the work I have carried out during the past 12 months in relation to standards in the Assembly.”
