Will the First Minister confirm whether Members of the Senedd and staff from Plaid Cymru will have formal badge access to Welsh Government offices in Tŷ Hywel and Cathays Park?
Answered by First Minister | Answered on 14/12/2021
As is usual practice, legal advice, as regards Civil Service governance arrangements, was provided to the Permanent Secretary from the Welsh Government Legal Services Department.
The Designated Lead Member will have access to Welsh Government offices. As noted in the mechanisms document, Plaid Cymru designated members will not have access to civil servants beyond the machinery agreed by Ministers.
