What you get
- In brief: where things stand, in a paragraph, with the key facts.
- At a glance: a timeline of the Senedd terms, governments, lead ministers and milestones.
- The path to law: each formal step, what's done and what's still ahead.
- Who has led: ministers in charge over time, and the main voices in each party.
- Themes and arguments: what's being said, and the case made on each side.
- Votes and money: Senedd votes on the subject, and the budget lines that fund it.
- What to watch: decisions and questions still open.
Every statement is referenced
Each point links to the speech, answer, vote or document it comes from. Before a briefing is sent, every point is checked against the full text of its sources, and anything they don't support is corrected or removed.
How it works
- Describe the subject in a sentence or two. Add a question you want answered, if you have one, and choose English or Welsh.
- Use a credit to order it. Credits cost £10 each, or £50 for six.
- Your briefing arrives by email as a PDF, usually within 20 minutes. If there isn't enough in the record to write a useful briefing, we'll tell you and return your credit.

What it covers
Briefings are drawn from the Senedd's record since June 2021: debates, committee evidence, written questions, votes, Bills, petitions and statements, with the Welsh budget where it applies. Views expressed elsewhere appear only where they were raised in the Senedd.
