Rejected petition Stop the introduction of 36 new senedd members at a cost of 17.8 million a year.

Bringing 36 more politicians to the Welsh Parliament could cost as much as £17.8m extra a year, new figures suggest.

More details

Documents from Labour ministers have estimated the cost of a bigger Senedd for the first time.
Costs could reach £19.5m in 2030, on top of the Senedd's existing budget of £67m.
