SCECLB451 Carmello Paletta
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)?
Welsh presiding officer has already said this
bill will be unlawful
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
The cost of pursuing this in the High Court
will be a burden to Wales as a nation
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?
This type of lawmaking is not involved
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?
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?
The presiding officer of the assembly is
already The Welsh government and able to pass this bill under UK
law.
Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative
competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European
Convention on Human Rights?
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
This legislation is wrong. No to self ID. The
attempt to get 50-50 quotas will not happen if you use gender
instead of sex. This bill discriminates against women.
Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about
the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related
matters?
No to increasing members of Welsh
Assembly, closed lists and self ID.
Anything else?
You should listen to the majority of the
electorate. What you’re attempting to do is unlawful. This is
harmful to Wales as a nation.
