Minutes:

15.     The Board considered two reports which the Assembly’s Standards of Conduct Committee had brought to its attention.

 

i)        Report under Standing Order 22.9

 

16.     The Board noted the Standard Committee’s recommendations pertaining to an investigation of a complaint against an Assembly Member, which was undertaken by the Commissioner for Standards, under SO 22.9

 

17.     The Board would write to the Committee Chair, Mick Antoniw AM to confirm that it was content that the present safeguards were sufficiently robust.

 

ii)       Report on Lobbying and Cross-Party Groups

 

18.     The Board discussed the Committee’s findings of its inquiry into the Assembly’s arrangements for lobbying activity and Cross-Party Groups, and considered whether there were implications for the operation of the Determination on Members’ Pay and Allowances.

 

19.     The Board agreed with the thrust of the Committee’s position on the use of allowances for participation in Cross-Party Groups and for greater clarity regarding this matter, recognising them as a mechanism for engaging with interest groups from a range of sectors that can play a valuable role in raising awareness of issues.

 

20.     As such, participation in such groups was considered, in principle, an appropriate Assembly activity and allowances payable through the Determination could be used to facilitate participation in a formal activity of the group. Members would need to take personal responsibility for all expenses incurred and exercise judgment in assessing the relevance of any activity being carried out to their duties as Assembly Members.

 

21.     The Board applauded the Committee’s aim to make Assembly CPGs fit for Welsh models and to make them more accountable in nature and      would ensure that there be clarity regarding this matter and issue guidance if necessary in its revised Determination.

 

22.     The Board’s Chair would write to the Committee Chair as a priority to convey the Board’s views on the matter so that this might inform the discussion in advance of the planned Assembly debate on Lobbying and CPG to be held on 26 June.
