Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
I think Westminster is six weeks. If you make it shorter, for example three, would you give people the option to say, 'I don't agree with this petition' as an alternative? If you're not going to be closing it after 10 per cent, there is an argument that there…

On that point, if you're trying to open it up, rather than curtailing the time, would you make postal and proxy available?

Assuming that we're having a two-stage process and that we're doing a petition because the circumstances have been met for that, in Westminster the trigger is 10 per cent. Is that reasonable? Is that the right figure? Should it be higher? Should it be lower…

Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Thank you. We've talked in this committee about different ways of progressing or running a petition. Assuming that we have a petition system, one alternative that has come about in some of the deliberations that we've been having is similar to Westminster…

And if somebody was elected as an independent, and therefore wasn't on a list, leave the seat vacant.

Yes, thank you for that. I have another question around—you mentioned it earlier—the next person on the party list. I'm assuming that you mean the original party list. In Vikki’s example, where somebody changed party three times, it would be the original, to…

No, the five stay in place, but to try and—just going back to your point that, in recall petitions, very often the incumbent party loses—allow the public to have a decision in that process.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Diolch, Alistair—thank you for coming in this morning. I'd like to just touch on some of the things that Natasha was talking about earlier. You mentioned first-past-the-post, you mentioned the alternative vote; could a by-election happen…

Diolch, Ysgrifennydd Cabinet, am eich datganiad heddiw. Mae'n dda clywed am yr adnoddau sy'n cael eu buddsoddi i wella bywydau cyn-filwyr. Yng Nghymru, mae cyn-filwyr yn cyfrif am 4.5 y cant o oedolion, o'i gymharu â 3.8 y cant yn Lloegr. Mae'n hanfodol ein…

Just some thoughts around—. We'll be looking at paired constituencies here. Potentially, in Scotland, they're looking at potentially regional, but that's different legislation. Here it will be paired constituencies across multiple county council boundaries…

Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol o'r Senedd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Based on what you're saying there as well, as you talked a little bit about how you'd get more people to potentially engage, is that by using proxy and postal, or other ways? What were your thought processes around that?

Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol o'r Senedd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
If we were going for a recall petition, in the same way as Westminster, as in, 'We wish to recall this person', is 10 per cent sufficient, and bearing in mind that we're going to be looking at paired constituencies, going forward, something that came up…

I mean, really, you're just putting two names on a ballot paper: the person who is subject to removal and the next person on whichever party list. The other thing, going back to what Vikki was saying earlier, if that person left that particular party and went…
