Rejected petition Consult with the people of Wales with a well reasoned argument to increase Senedd members.

The 20mph was introduced without a full consultation with the people of Wales. The same thing appears to be happening with a significant increase in members of the Senedd.

More details

Actions taken without proper and full consultation and detailed explanation will create a backlash and Labour will certainly lose control next year

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

A similar petition came before us earlier this year. https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/246521
