Ymateb gan Unigolyn | Evidence from Individual

What are your views on the general principles of the Bill and the need for legislation to deliver the Welsh Government’s stated policy objective (to make the Senedd a more effective legislature by ensuring it is broadly representative of the gender make-up of the population)?

I don't care whether it be a male or female as long as they are CAPABLE of doing the job properly

What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?

I do not agree with a preference for one sex or the other

Are there any potential barriers to the implementation of the Bill’s provisions? If so, what are they, and are they adequately taken into account in the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum and Regulatory Impact Assessment?

Yes, I believe the result could be biased

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Yes the wrong person could be picked

What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?

It would be biased

What are your views on the balance between the information contained on the face of the Bill and what is left to subordinate legislation? Are the powers for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate legislation appropriate?

I also don't think Welsh Ministers should have the powers to do this

Not at this moment
