Will the Cabinet Minister rule out any further increases in the number of Senedd members?
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness & the Constitution | Answered on 03/07/2026
The Welsh Government will not propose an increase in the number of Members of the Senedd.
The increase to 96 Members followed recommendations from a series of reports dating back to 2004. We now have a Senedd which better reflects the additional powers and responsibilities it has acquired since the establishment of the National Assembly for Wales in 1999.
