NDM7701 Plaid Cymru debate - the Senedd's powers
NDM7701 Sian Gwenllian
(Arfon)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Agrees that this sixth Senedd has a
mandate for the devolution of significant further powers from Westminster to
Wales.
2. Believes that the Senedd must have the
levers to improve the lives of our citizens and to rebuild as a greener, fairer
and more prosperous Wales after the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Recognises the threat posed to the
Senedd’s powers by the UK Government’s attitude to devolution, especially since
Brexit.
4. Calls on the Welsh Government to
initiate the process outlined in the Government of Wales Act 2006 to seek
powers to the Senedd over matters currently reserved to Westminster, including
policing and justice, rail, welfare, broadcasting, energy projects, the Crown
Estate, the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and the power for the Senedd to call a
binding referendum on Wales’s constitutional future.
