Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 7
Thank you so much. I'll move on to my next question now. We often hear about the term 'human rights', so are there any issues, any sort of problems that you can see that may breach human rights, for example, if an offence of deception was indeed introduced?
, Standards of Conduct Committee
Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 7
Okay. Coming back to my actual question now, which is: what issues related to malicious complaints against Members can you potentially see arising?

Jennifer, do you have anything you wanted to add to that before I go to my other question?

Which are roughly how much, if you don't mind me asking, just for the benefit of the committee?

Thank you so much. Good morning, both. Can I just follow up, just before I go into my questioning with Sam, please—and Jennifer, please feel free to give me your answer on this as well? Naturally, if we do go forward and clause 64 is approved, agreed and…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
Cabinet Secretary, a significant number of properties were snapped up by the Welsh Government, and Ministers were looking to build the M4 relief road, which I'm sure everyone can remember. Thirty properties, in fact, were purchased by the Government, with an…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I'm not going to go down the route of John Griffiths and make a PR bite in order for the UK election to get a way ahead. Let's focus on the Welsh issues, which are what we're all sitting here for, and that's why I'm going to be saying that our…

Thank you so much for that, Alistair. Coming to second part of my question—sorry, Chair, I promise I'll make it brief—before I interjected, you were talking about conduct. Obviously, I think that the committee is aware that, at the moment, there are only two…

Firstly, you said that Westminster has got it near enough right, so what can we do in Wales to pretty much get it right and get it right close to the 100 per cent?

I appreciate the different levels in what you've just said, but who decides on those different levels? Who decides that Mike Hedges will have access to certain documents for one project, I'll have access to another, Adam Price will have another, and we're all…

Okay. My final question now. So, Local Partnerships describe themselves as a 'hands-on organisation', noting it often sits alongside project teams rather than providing advice from afar. So, how does this actually work in reality? Does the Welsh Government…

My apologies. Okay. So, who's responsible for the risks? When it all goes wrong—and you mentioned some great stories there and some great examples—if it goes wrong, who's to blame, who's getting sacked?

So, who's accountable—? Sorry, go on. Sorry, were you saying something, Ed?
