Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 2
Yes. Harriet, can I just ask a follow-up question of you as well, before you come in, just to expand on it maybe a little bit? It sounds to me like obviously there are the different strategies, the equality strategies that you've got: the race action plan…

Thank you, Chair, and thank you, all, for being here today. I'm going to ask some questions now about intersectionality and meeting strategic equality objectives. So, it'd be great to hear from you what your organisation is doing to address the issues around…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 1
Thank you very much, and my last question on this, really, is to build on what you've just said, David. To what extent, then, do you think further action is needed to ensure that everything that you all just highlighted is reflected in public bodies’ 2024 to…

Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you all for being here today. I'm going to ask some more questions specifically about intersectionality. Thank you all so much for submitting written evidence, which we've all read. As a committee, we're looking at what…

Yes. Thank you very much and thank you, Chair.

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with parliamentary academics
Thank you. That brings me on, then, just to my second question, which is your views, then, on the provision in the Bill for the maximum number of Welsh Ministers to then be further expanded potentially through secondary legislation. I'm assuming that would be…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with parliamentary academics
Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you for being here today to answer some of our questions. I'm just going to move on to looking at the size of Welsh Government. So, do you think the increase to a maximum of 17 Welsh Ministers is a proportionate use of…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Llywydd and the Senedd Commission
Okay. Thank you very much. And I'd just ask, then, about the modelling and assumptions used when estimating the cost of the proposed refit of Tŷ Hywel, where, obviously, as Members of the Senedd, we work, and I suppose whether things have been considered like…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Llywydd and the Senedd Commission
Absolutely. And just a couple of very specific questions, I guess, on how the Senedd Commission has modelled the impact of larger constituencies and an increase in Members from mid and north Wales on the financial support provided to Members. So, you know…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Llywydd and the Senedd Commission
Thank you very much. We've just heard evidence from Professor McAllister and Professor Renwick on the expert panel. I thought what was interesting was that they, obviously, looked at the costs, the cost-benefit analysis, really, but they reported six years…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Expert Panel on Assembly Electoral Reform
Okay, thank you very much. Just my last question, then—you've touched on this a few times, but it would be good just to get a solid, clear answer. Do you think the costs proposed for the implementation of the Bill appear to be proportionate compared with…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Expert Panel on Assembly Electoral Reform
Okay, thank you. So, just to clarify, the report was six years ago, and when you did it, you based the 80 to 90 on the current powers, not on the potential future powers, which, as you said, could be justice.

Thank you, Chair. Thank you, both, for being here this morning. I'm just going to ask a few questions, then, on the size of the Senedd, because your expert panel recommended that it should be 80 to 90 Members, but it's now being proposed that it should be 96…
