Rejected petition 36 new Members of the Senedd to be paid from a reduction in the current Members wages.

Their work burden is being reduced, we want them to pay for the privilege of lessened work load. This should not be an additional burden on the public purse.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Petitions to the Senedd must call for a specific action that falls within the powers of the Senedd or Welsh Government.
The salaries of Members of the Senedd are decided by the Independent Remuneration Board of the Senedd, which is an independent body that has the function of “determining the level of remuneration and system of financial support for Members which enables them to perform their Members’ duties. The Board has a statutory responsibility to ensure probity, accountability, value for money and transparency with respect to the expenditure of public funds.” https://remunerationboard.wales/

As a result, it is not possible for the Senedd to take the action called for by your petition.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
