Legislation |
|
Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill Minutes: The
Deputy Presiding Officer chaired this item as the Llywydd is the Member in
charge of the Bill. Business
Managers considered the paper and whether the responsible committee for the
purpose of considering the general principles of the Bill should be the
Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. Darren Millar noted the
conflict of interest of one Member of CLA also being a Member of the Assembly
Commission, and suggested that the Bill be referred to the External Affairs and
Additional Legislation Committee. It was also noted that that Committee
included a Commission Member. Given
that the immediate decision is to consult on the proposed timetable for the
Bill, Business Managers agreed to consult with both CLA and EAAL before
deciding on which committee to refer it to. On
the issue of the proposed timetable the Trefnydd raised the potential impact on
the Government’s Local Elections Bill if there were to be any delay in introducing
the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill. |
