Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:09 pm on 3 May 2017.
Well, I entirely agree with what the Member has said. I think local populations have a right to see what goes on in their name in their council chambers. That’s why the White Paper proposes that broadcasting council meetings should be a statutory requirement, rather than simply a request of local authorities, and the vast majority of local authorities in Wales are already well on that road. I hope that our White Paper will give a further impetus to doing that right across Wales.
