Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:39 pm on 18 October 2017.
I’m very happy to clarify. The Presiding Officer wrote to Andrew R.T. Davies and to myself and confirmed that I should be considered a member of the Conservative group for all purposes of this Assembly, just as she has ruled that the committee Chairs should be moved in order to reflect the balance of the party groups. It ill behoves this institution, which wishes to be considered a Parliament, that it will not even follow its own Presiding Officer or follow its own Standing Orders in line with what any reasonable democratic institution should do. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
