Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Bwrdd Taliadau Annibynnol y Senedd
Well, it's an example of a Government coming to different decision. But the assumption was made then that if there was any allowance to be paid, it would simply be shared. And I'd be surprised as a Member—. I do not believe that we should be establishing…

Myself and another member of this committee, Mike Hedges, suggested we job share a role of Chair, which, apparently, was against Standing Orders at the time. It's not against Standing Orders now, but there we go, that's politics.

Yes, but there are two people performing one job, one role.

Why would a Co-chair have anything except 50 per cent of the Chair's allowance?

That was a very well-worded answer, which I won't pursue this morning, people will be pleased to hear. I'm content with those responses, and I'm content with the way that the Commission has calculated other costs in terms of some of the pro rata issues.

Okay, that's fair enough. Can I ask Ken Skates just to provide a clear undertaking that all current elected Members of the Senedd will have sight and oversight, and that an agreement will be sought for any structural changes that take place either in the…

But the question I'm trying to ask you, sorry, is what is the difference between these costs and ongoing investment in the estate that you would need to carry out anyway?

I'm interested in the sunk costs that you've identified. Now, some of them I would very much welcome—if you were to tell me, Manon, that you're tearing those dreadful computers out of the Chamber, and doing so this coming weekend, I'd probably write the…
