Welsh Senedd Petitions

Adjourn the implementation of the 36 extra members of the Senedd until 2030

Petition - 3,491 Signatures

By delaying the implementation of the act, there would be time to fully consult with the public and see what they really think of the cost and the benefits.
The Welsh Government has admitted that, “in the timescale available for developing the legislation it was not possible to undertake its own open public consultation on either the general concepts of Senedd Reform or a draft Bill.”
