Welsh Government — Forensic Institutional Review
Email dialogue evidence: every email exchanged with the Welsh Government (including Cadw) about Great House Farm is catalogued word for word, by thread and date, at Welsh Government and Cadw — Email Correspondence Catalogue (Part 1: Cadw, January–July 2026; Part 2: Cadw, August–October 2026; Part 3: other Welsh Government bodies).
Roadmap / catalogue cross-reference — 10-10-2026: The chronology of Welsh Government, Cadw and other custodians appears in the Institutional Involvement Roadmap. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing correspondence has its own placeholder at GHF-E152; its original has not been attached as at 10-10-2026.
Forensic Institutional Review — Welsh Government
Scope: Welsh Government/Cadw current oversight, records and remedial handling. Historic decisions are attributed only to the body and date actually responsible at the time.
Live matters
The current programme includes Welsh Government records/complaints concerning the Great House Farm heritage and public-authority history, including the live Cadw/Welsh Government information requests already logged by the family. The Government should be assessed separately from Cadw’s historic professional decisions.
Forensic control test
For every live matter identify the exact department/service, decision date, statutory or administrative function, evidence considered, records searched, response reason and available review/escalation route.
Current finding
As at 10-10-2026, the material reviewed does not establish Welsh Government-wide wrongdoing. This does not conclude that every specific decision, record or referral issue is resolved. The active issue is whether current officials adequately respond to newly recovered evidence and identify competent remedies within their remit.
Human action
Track Wales Office/Welsh Government correspondence to substantive outcome, including IR/26/16 where applicable. For Cadw, obtain and analyse the outstanding ATISN material and present a tightly framed remedial request based on the evidence already established.
Acceptance: each live Welsh Government/Cadw matter has a response, statutory basis, next route and deadline.
Institutional appearance timeline — linked source index
Coverage rule: this is a chronological navigation map of published Wiki source pages found by searching the current site index for “Welsh Government”. Every event label links directly to the page containing the source. It avoids duplicating source narratives. It records mention/appearance, not culpability. The displayed date is a source/title date cue, not automatically the date on which the named institution acted. This matters for newspaper stories, later summaries and titles naming more than one event; open the source before attributing an act. Search indexing is a discovery aid, not proof of exhaustive coverage. 🕒
