[Inaudible.] I’m conscious there are so many unknowns about ways of working, but you’ll know that the RIA has been built, it seems, on two scenarios. Do you think, with hindsight, perhaps more scenarios should have been considered for you to reflect on?

Yes.

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Bwrdd Taliadau Annibynnol y Senedd
No, I can acknowledge that. You've already reflected on, perhaps, your concern or slight concern about using perhaps the 2022-23 determination to make some of those assumptions. Is there anything more you wanted to add on that?

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Bwrdd Taliadau Annibynnol y Senedd
Thank you. What's your view on the estimates? Do you think they are a reasonable assessment of the implications of the Bill or not? Have you got a view on that?

Okay. And that's a regular dialogue that you'll obviously be wanting to engage with all the way through this process.

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chomisiwn y Senedd
I think you answered it right at the beginning, probably, in the first question. Have the Welsh Government engaged with you enough to help you do what you're wanting to do here?

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chomisiwn y Senedd
Thank you, Manon. What assurance could you give that the additional Commission staff estimated in the RIA will be sufficient to meet the expected increase in workload, particularly since the RIA notes you have kept any increases in head count to a minimum?
11 Hydref 2023 , Finance Committee
Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chomisiwn y Senedd
Thank you, Manon. The additional Senedd Commission staff needed were identified by grade, but the RIA doesn't describe how the related costs were calculated from the full-time equivalent data. Can you expand, perhaps, a bit on how you got there?
11 Hydref 2023 , Finance Committee
Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chomisiwn y Senedd
Okay. Thank you for that. The RIA outlines the service areas requiring increases in the number of Commission staff. I wondered what was the analysis conducted to ensure all additional work was captured and costed in the RIA.

I'm reassured by that, and I know there'll be a lot of people wanting to know those sorts of things, so we can make that assessment as we move on. When we look at the—. We talked quite a lot—you already talked about scenarios and the two scenarios you've…

Well, I don't know if it's a third or not. There's a third more Members, so you could envisage a third more Member costs with regard to energy and things like that. So, a fair assumption. I just want to be sure that there is enough assessment of ongoing and…

You're going to have an awful lot more offices to light and heat, and everything else that might accrue as a result.

Thank you. Before I kick into my main question, just linked to what we were talking about before, obviously, we've got more work to do to identify savings and things. Can we be confident that enough forward thinking has been done to assess recurring costs…

Diolch, Gomisiynydd, ac rwy'n derbyn ein bod wedi cael y sgyrsiau hyn mewn fforymau eraill hefyd. Ond fel y gŵyr pawb ohonom, mae'r costau disgwyliedig presennol ar gyfer Comisiwn y Senedd, fel y nodwyd gennych nawr, yn sylweddol a dweud y lleiaf. Ac fel y…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. I accept that. So, given a likely date of the next Senedd election is May 2026, how would capital spending on Members' offices and ICT kit for new staff be spread across the 2024-25, 2025–26 and 2026–27 financial years?

Thank you for that. Just on Senedd reform, then, briefly, how do budgeted costs for Senedd reform in this financial year compare to those in your latest supplementary budget and the regulatory impact assessment for the Senedd Cymru Bill?
