Welsh Government amendment 47, as we've heard, requires local authorities to have regard to guidance issued by Welsh Ministers, and guidance may be produced regarding a local authority's duty to provide its head of democratic services with such staff, accommodation and other resources that the local authority considers sufficient to allow the functions of the head of democratic services to be carried out. The Bill's explanatory memorandum states that one of the duties of the head of democratic services is to provide councillors outside of the executive with adequate support and advice. This amendment introduces a guidance-making power to ensure that access to advice and support is consistent across local authorities and that councillors have access to the resources they require. Of course, we know, as Members of the Senedd or Welsh Parliament, that we rely on the independent advice provided by the Research Service in the Welsh Parliament and we wouldn't seek independent advice from Welsh Government civil servants because of the inevitable conflict of interest that would arise where there is formal separation of power between executive and legislature. It is therefore essential that councillors of all parties outside of the executive, as well as in, can obtain independent advice and support. We therefore support the intentions of this amendment. However, should this amendment pass, as anticipated, the Welsh Government should provide local councils with the resources necessary to enable them to establish a members' research service, ensuring that councils do not have to use their already stretched existing resources to establish such services. Furthermore, measures should be put in place to ensure that any research service is accessible to all elected Members and is free of any political bias. I hope the Minister, in accepting our support, will also acknowledge the issues I've highlighted.
