Review of the Determination for the Seventh Senedd: Consultation Part One (Overnight Accommodation, Constituency Office and Engagement and Support for Senedd Groups)

The Remuneration Board has launched its consultation on Part One of the Review of the Determination for the Seventh Senedd. The consultation will run from 25 October to 6 December 2024.

The Board is suggesting a number of proposals to change  the rules on reimbursement of costs relating to overnight accommodation, constituency office and constituent engagement, and the support available to political groups in the Senedd.

The changes proposed in this consultation, following consultation and subsequent review, will be reflected in the Board’s Determination which will take effect from the outset of the Seventh Senedd i.e. following the Senedd election in May 2026.

Further information about the Determination is available on the Board’s website.
