Scrutiny of Accounts - Senedd Commission 2025-26: evidence session
Thank you very much. That brings the session to a close. I thank the Commissioner, the chief executive and clerk, and senior colleagues for their attendance this afternoon. You will receive a copy of the transcript to check for factual accuracy in due course…

Scrutiny of Accounts - Senedd Commission 2025-26: evidence session
Thank you. Just one quick last question from me, and it should be a relatively simple answer. Of all the risks that are currently on the corporate register, which one gives you the greatest concern now? And what would be the first sign to this committee that…

Okay. And that's your expected ceiling.

Scrutiny of Accounts - Senedd Commission 2025-26: evidence session
Thank you. Whilst we're on staffing—you gave me a nice little segue there to my next question—I understand why the additional staff were required in preparation for the expanded Senedd, and I think that's been explained quite well. We've gone from 490.1…

Thank you. I want to go back to the budget. Within the Senedd reform budget, £1.742 million was moved from non-staff expenditure to capital. What was the reason for that transfer, who authorised it and when?

I'm conscious that we've got a lot of business to get through today, so I'm sorry to cut you off, Peredur, but we need to get through it. I've got one follow-up from Cai and then we'll move to Carrie Harper.
