Our most recent completed projects are listed here but you can view all projects completed by the Law Commission between 1966 and 2024.
We published our final report and recommendations on 31 March 2017. We have received a final response from Government confirming that the majority of the recommendations will be implemented. Please see below for the full final response.

We published our final report and recommendations on 29 June 2016. The Counsel General sent the Welsh Government’s final response on 19 July 2017.
