In the Attended column, the second number counts the meetings at which the Senedd listed the Member as a committee member. Entries for future meetings, where Members are only listed as expected, are not counted, and nor are Members who came to give evidence, for example as a minister. Apologies include meetings where the Member sent a substitute.
