Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Chief Executive and interim Chair
Thank you very much. Thank you both for being here this morning. A lot of my questions, I think, have already been touched on, so I think I'll just move on, really, and just ask—because it is about plans going forward, which, of course, you've talked a lot…

Excellent. Thank you very much. That's all my questions. Thank you, Chair.

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Okay. And if there were any changes then, with that, do you think there should be any—? Would that cause any issues, do you think, what's required at the moment?

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Okay, thank you very much. And then, just my last question, your views on the provision in section 15 to change the quorum for meetings of the commission.

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
It might be overkill, a bit.

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Okay, fantastic. And also then do you think there should be any additional changes to prevent one of these office holders later taking up one of the disqualifying offices set out in the Bill and in the 2013 Act? Does that need tightening up?

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Okay. Thank you very much. And then, I think we've already touched on the changes to the length of term required and not losing that experience and expertise. So, in terms of the views on the additional office holders disqualified from being appointed as…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Excellent. Thank you very much. And then, also, your views on whether the appointments process for the chair and commissioners should change to reflect the commission's new role. So, for example, through pre-appointment hearings with the Senedd committee. So…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
Thank you very much. That's very interesting. And then finally from me, your views on whether a system of recall for Members of the Senedd should be introduced by the Bill, and your views, really, on how this could operate in practice and who would operate…
, Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
Thank you very much. So, just to move on as well—a similar line of questioning here—to your views on how the proposal to move to four-year Senedd terms would impact on the likelihood of multiple elections taking place in the same year. And if this was to…

Business Statement and Announcement
Over the past couple of months, I've become increasingly concerned to see the nightmarish, overwhelmingly dystopian circus of the UK Conservative Party unravelling in real time. And whilst I'm glad to see the prospect of a UK Labour Government, there remains…
