Plenary format Business Committee
discussed the arrangements for Plenary meetings after the February half-term
recess and considered an updated Risk Assessment. Having considered the views
of party groups and measures to mitigate risks, the Llywydd determined that
from 1 March all 60 Members could attend the Siambr in person at any time. This
was in line with the First Minister’s indication of a relaxation of a number of
other restrictions at the end of February. Virtual participation and
electronic voting would continue so that Members could continue to participate
remotely. Business Committee
agreed that Members would be strongly advised to wear face masks in the Chamber
except when making a contribution. The Llywydd asked that Members were made
aware that was her expectation. All Members should also take a lateral flow
test before attending in person. |
