Group 15: Senedd constituency boundary reviews: electoral quota (Amendment 14)

6 March 2024Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Well, the points you raise are absolutely right. We need to know what the detail is, because, inevitably, with our proximity to Northern Ireland, and with the trade connectivity that we have, it's important we understand what the nature of that market is…
