Goblygiadau ariannol Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, this is something where, again, officials—I'm sure that Will was one of those—engaged very closely with the Senedd Commission on over costs actually relating to the whole Senedd reform programme, prior to taking the decision to move forward with the…

Well, this is something, again, that we're working very closely with the Welsh Local Government Association on, making it very clear—and I can respond to your first question, Peter—that the Welsh Government pays costs associated with the electoral management…

I mean, it hasn't, as we've said, come up—that point hasn't come up—in the political parties panel at all with the Electoral Commission. Clearly, if we go back to the origins or the early days of this Senedd, we had a new electoral system here. That goes very…

I think, obviously, referring back to your opening questions, Cadeirydd, we’ve stated very clearly that we believe the Bill is within the legislative competence of the Senedd, and that’s on the basis of presenting it to and it being considered and scrutinised…

Goblygiadau ariannol Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much, Peter, for that question. There has been engagement with political parties during the development of the Bill, but, as you will be aware, we do have a Senedd political panel, party panel. It's facilitated by the Electoral Commission, and…

Goblygiadau ariannol Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, that's where the link, obviously, to the Members and elections Bill is crucial. There are no additional costs. The RIA on this Bill needs to be looked at in the context of the Members and elections Bill, because it's seen as the Senedd reform programme…

I think it is only £1,500 for the 2026 election and £1,500 still anticipated for the 2030 election for the role of the NNCO. So, that's the cost and the cost, obviously, is the issue of your particular concern up to now.

Would you like to answer the question?

Goblygiadau ariannol Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
We are in ongoing discussions about this, recognising and clearly engaging with not just the Welsh Local Government Association working group, but the Association of Electoral Administrators and also the Electoral Commission. So, it's an ongoing discussion…

Goblygiadau ariannol Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you, Mike. As you know, section 2 of the Bill would require the Llywydd to table a motion proposing to establish a committee to undertake a post-implementation review. Of course, it would be for the Senedd to decide at that stage whether or not to…

I mean, these are wider than financial issues, but hopefully it's helpful just to set out what we would be expecting to come through the subordinate legislation.

Goblygiadau ariannol Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, I think that is important in terms of the arrangements for the subordinate legislation. But I think, in a way, it is covered in terms of the conduct Order and the amending of the main conduct Order. Of course, as I said, this is very much part of the…

Well, I think, as Will has explained, this needs to be seen in terms of the whole Senedd reform programme, in terms of the conduct Order, which is being developed for the whole of Senedd reform, for the Senedd reform Bill in itself, the Members and elections…

I think that's something that we need to look at carefully in relation to implementing the Bill. I don't know if you want to respond directly to that, Will.

Thank you for that question. I'm pleased you've seen the correspondence in which I responded to the Reform Bill Committee. I can say to the Finance Committee the cost of external legal advice in relation to this Bill has been £38,100. And just to say it's…

Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. Clearly, when we set out our RIAs for all legislation, they are concerned with the impact of implementing the measures provided for by the associated legislation. Therefore, the RIA for this Bill is focused on assessment of…
