SCECLB408 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 would prefer that the best candidates be
selected regardless of their sex.
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
Disagree with the system also the words
"enforcement and sanctions " are inappropriate words to use in
democracies but rather telling from the party suggesting the
idea.
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?
Unjustified wasteful use of money.
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
I suspect the standard of representative would
fall even further, the standard is incredibly poor at present.
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
I don't believe them.
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?
Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative
competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European
Convention on Human Rights?
I don't think they have any legislative
competencee.
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
A waste of money.
Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about
the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related
matters?
No
Anything else?
No
