Will the Minister provide a full breakdown of the £1,200,000 2024-2025 budget line for Senedd Reform?
An allocation of £1.2million has been made for 2024-2025 for Welsh Government staff costs to deliver Senedd Reform programme. This includes delivery of primary legislation through to Royal Assent and thereafter to implement the reforms in time for the Senedd Election in May 2026.
Implementation of the reforms requires expenditure in line with the clear mandate that the Senedd provided for the Welsh Government to deliver the recommendations of the Special Purpose Committee in time for the next Senedd election in 2026.
The work on Senedd reform is being carried out in collaboration with Plaid Cymru as part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
