Will the Assembly Commission confirm whether it is paying Carole Cadwalladr or any other speakers to attend events on its behalf at the GWLAD - Future Wales festival, and, if so, provide the necessary monetary figures?
Answered by Assembly Commission | Answered on 30/09/2019
The Assembly Commission has worked in partnership with external providers and organisations to deliver a variety of activity during the GWLAD Festival. Some individuals taking part in the GWLAD Festival are being paid for their involvement, mainly paid through third parties, with a small number being paid directly by the Assembly Commission. Costs associated with talent fees, event partnerships, music and comedy gigs, travel and accommodation have been forecasted at £29,000.
