Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:43 pm on 29 June 2016.
I take the response that the First Minister has given. I take that point that it’s not a situation that occurs in Westminster, namely confirmation hearings, but don’t you think that we shouldn’t always try and replicate what Westminster do? This would be groundbreaking, because they are an important part of the Government architecture, special advisers are, and having a form of confirmation hearing would bring public awareness to the role that they fulfil in advising Ministers.
