Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Senedd Women's Caucus
Just to say that one of the themes of the British Islands and Mediterranean Region Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians conference—it's a very long title—was how we enable legislatures and parliaments internationally to go down this route. I will resend you…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Senedd Women's Caucus
Yes, thank you very much. I think in terms of the meritocracy argument and in terms of is there a need for statutory mandation or legislation or could we go down a duty route, we've already made a point in terms of the whim of a particular party or the…

And I totally understand that and I understand why you've responded in that way. Confidence and supply agreements are very useful tools, and we've mentioned previously an ability to be dynamic as a Government, to be able to act proactively and swiftly in…

It's something that we will explore later on in our inquiry, then. Obviously, it's of interest to us in terms of themes around this matter. You've also highlighted the subjectivity of HM Treasury when categorising spending programmes, and I've mentioned HS2…
