Allocation of Committee Chairs

 

Darren Millar informed Business Managers that the Welsh Conservative Group now wished to nominate one of its Members for the position of the Petitions Committee Chair, in line with the decision in principle by Business Committee on 23 October 2018.

 

The majority decision was in favour of the re-allocation - Neil Hamilton objected.

 

A motion to re-allocate the Chair of the Petitions Committee to the Welsh Conservative Group will be taken as the last item of business during Plenary today. If agreed, the Llywydd will invite nominations at the start of tomorrow’s Plenary; a secret ballot will take place if more than one nomination is received.
