Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:33 pm on 20 June 2017.
Diolch, Llywydd. If this motion is passed without due regard for the entire political balance, then it has become clear that two thirds of the Assembly no longer support a balanced Assembly that reflects the political balance of its Members. Therefore, in closing, Llywydd, I believe that this is a very sad day indeed for the National Assembly and its operations. I sincerely hope that future Governments and business managers will decide to reflect the political balance of this institution when co-ordinating Assembly business, so that the people of Wales can have full confidence that the Assembly is working in an open, transparent, and democratic manner.
