Well, let's not lose the other half of constituency Members, then, Jenny. This is all I'm talking about: democracy.

As I said, there is already enough confusion about the boundaries. I believe that, should these plans be implemented in their current state, the level of confusion and anxiety caused will be on a mammoth scale. The people of Wales, who have put each and every one of us here, in one way or another, deserve to know the truth, not be kept in the dark. They deserve a right to have a say. 

I believe the plans also cause another serious concern for me: where will reform stop? Is this announcement a precursor to something more sinister—Alun Davies—such as a Welsh Government reorganisation of our vital local authorities? As a past leader of a council, I know how important our local authorities and their identities are to our citizens. Any reorganisation as a result of future boundary commission changes will remove local accountability, local identity and local sovereignty, things that are so precious to our local communities. Therefore, any theoretical boundary changes or further reorganisation must, for the sake of our democracy, be published to the people of Wales immediately. The committee may not know what those future plans are, but I'm sure the Government and Plaid Cymru are fully aware. So, I support the amendments. Thank you.
