Could we have a debate on setting up the constitutional convention that’s long been proposed by the First Minister? Now that we are going to possibly lose 11 MPs in Wales when the numbers go down from 40 to 29, and, with the vote to leave the EU, it’s likely we will lose four MEPs, isn’t now the ideal time to acknowledge that there are too few Assembly Members to do the job properly here in this Chamber and that all these items should be considered together? Wouldn’t having had a constitutional convention have been the ideal opportunity to look at all these representation issues in the round?
