Article 14 Representation of the Welsh Ministers at inquiry

In relation to a Welsh Ministers order the Welsh Ministers may be represented at the inquiry by counsel or solicitor or by an officer or other person authorised by the Welsh Ministers to represent them.

In relation to such an order, the Welsh Ministers shall make a representative available at the inquiry to give evidence in elucidation of the statement of case, and such representative shall be subject to cross-examination to the same extent as any other witness.

Nothing in paragraph (2) shall require a representative of the Welsh Ministers to answer any question which in the opinion of the inspector is directed to the merits of government policy.
