‘On 22 July 2025, the Crown Estate (Wales) Bill passed unopposed through report stage in the House of Lords. The Bill, which seeks to devolve the management of the Crown Estate in Wales, was introduced as a Private Members’ Bill in the Lords by the former leader of Plaid Cymru, Lord Wigley. This is by no means the first attempt at such a scheme – Plaid Cymru introduced an identical Bill in the Commons in 2021, as well as tabling amendments to the Crown Estate Bill 2024-25 to attempt to effect devolution to Wales – but serves as an important moment in recent developments on the devolution of the Crown Estate in Wales. At the time of writing, the UK Government remains opposed to the devolution of the Crown Estate in Wales. This short analysis will consider the increasing territorialisation of the Crown Estate, will assess the arguments for and against its devolution in Wales, and will analyse the scheme for devolution put forward under the Bill.’
