Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and Joel James noted his support for a referendum. Other Members noted that issue has been considered in great detail by a number of Senedd Committees, all recommending the need to increase the number of Members of the Senedd to enable effective scrutiny of the Welsh Government. The Welsh Government will also bring forward a Senedd Reform Bill in the new year which will be a further opportunity for these issues to be debated and scrutinised in the Senedd. In light of this the Committee agreed to close the petition and thank the petitioner.
