Part of 3. 3. Questions to the Assembly Commission – in the Senedd at 2:39 pm on 19 October 2016.
The Commission has already been successful in engagement with young people, as young people are having a great influence on the work of the Assembly and its committees. Earlier this year, we agreed, as part of our new strategy for the fifth Assembly, that we want to take this success even further. I certainly do want to see the establishment of a youth parliament early in this Assembly term and I have been working closely with the children’s commissioner and the Campaign for the Children and Young People’s Assembly for Wales on the best way forward. We will be deciding on our plans at the Commission meeting in early November.
