The committee met in the Senedd and by video-conference.
The meeting began at 09:34.
1. Introductions, apologies, substitutions, and declarations of interest
Good morning. I’d like to welcome Members to the first meeting of the Future Senedd Committee. Our remit is agreed by the Senedd and we are required to report by 9 May 2025 and to make recommendations to the Business Committee on three issues: the organisation of Senedd business, solutions to barriers that impede the Senedd's ability to represent the people of Wales, and the thresholds included in the Standing Orders.
The meeting is bilingual and the headsets can be used to hear interpretation from Welsh to English on channel 1, or for amplification on channel 0.
Just in case there's a fire alarm, please follow the directions of the ushers to a safe location. There isn't one scheduled, by the way. Could I remind Members, please, to turn your mobile phones off, or any other electronic equipment, or onto silent? No apologies have been received today, and I welcome you all.
