Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda gweinyddwyr etholiadol
Can I ask, then, are there any political parties that are not on that panel, and, if there are, how have they been engaged with?

I think we'll be coming on to that, the implementation of the Bill, shortly. So, thank you for that. The final one from me, as I said, was the Senedd political parties panel's role in all of this, and the areas covered during the engagement. Could you just…

And clearly, as you've said already, and we probably will come back to it, the detail in secondary legislation will be an important factor in looking at how that works.

So, the RIA, basically, places a burden at the moment on local authorities, and, as you say, it's more of a precedent than anything else.

A gaf i ddiolch i'r darpar Brif Weinidog am yr ateb hwnnw? Rwy’n gyrru adref o'r lle hwn bob nos; rwy'n pasio'r ffyrnau golosg. Bydd yn drueni peidio â’u gweld yn gweithio mwyach. I mi, mae'n drueni na fyddaf yn gweld hynny mwyach, ond i'r gweithwyr yn y…

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42(ix) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod
Then the next item is under Standing Order 17.42(ix) to exclude the public from the remainder of today's meeting. Are Members content to do so? We'll therefore now move into private session.

Can I ask a question on this? Clearly, I understand what you're saying is an issue, but the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform did talk about this, and the ability to put in this Bill perhaps even just a mandatory requirement, rather than guidance, to…

Can I clarify on that—the NNCO will not be a permanent post; it's going to be a temporary post, effectively, during an election period?

Well, I suppose the question has been asked: has your legal department sought external legal advice? I won't ask the cost, but, just simply, has it sought external legal advice? I think that's a very valid question.

A response, but not actions. There's a difference between a response and actions. A response could say, 'I don't like what you recommended.' What we're simply saying is, if there's a recommendation—. Because you want a review to be undertaken by the Senedd—if…
