Ymateb gan Jason Davies | Evidence from Jason Davies

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)?

As a country we have are struggling financially this extra cost would be far better used in other departments. The NHS is on its knees and needs help our road system is broken . There are no jobs or prospects for our young people :

The current members are not doing enough for this country. We deserve better from the current members .

Raise your standards and performance levels and we don’t need more people.

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

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?

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

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

There are bound to be cost implications. It will definitely end up costing us tax payers more money

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?

This should be put before a national vote

Anything else?
