WQ84035 (e) Tabled on 03/12/2021

Will the Leader of Plaid Cymru give statements in Government time on the floor of the Senedd, given that the Co-operation Agreement: Mechanisms document states that accountability for the Co-operation Agreement rests with the First Minister and the Leader of Plaid Cymru?

Answered by First Minister | Answered on 10/12/2021

The mechanisms document, which sets out how the Co-operation Agreement will work, was published on 1 December.

Resources for the unit will be met from within the Central Services and Administration Main Expenditure Group, which is the responsibility of the Permanent Secretary.

Arrangements for joint press conferences will be made on a case by case basis.

Senedd procedures are a matter for the Senedd, not for me.

No special advisers have been appointed.

Arfon MS Sian Gwenllian has been named as the lead designated member for the Co-operation Agreement. We will continue to keep the Senedd informed about developments as any further appointments are made.
