The Senedd Commission (Welsh: Comisiwn y Senedd) is the corporate body for the Senedd of Wales. The Commission is responsible for ensuring the property, staff and services are provided for the Senedd. The Commission consists of the Llywydd of the Senedd and four Members from different political parties, who each have different portfolios of work. The Commission is supported by staff in the Commission and Support Service. Prior to 2020, the body was known as the National Assembly for Wales Commission.The Commission
The Senedd Commission consists of the Llywydd, plus four other Members of the Senedd, one nominated by each of the four party groups represented by the Senedd. The Commissioners are Suzy Davies MS, Joyce Watson MS, Rhun ap Iorwerth MS and David J Rowlands MS.
The role of the Commission is to set strategic aims and objectives and consider performance, agree standards and values, oversee change, encourage innovation and enterprise for the National Senedd.
To help achieve these aims, the Commissioners have special responsibility for certain aspects of the Senedd's work. This allows a great deal of work to take place outside of formal Commission meetings and positive working relationships to be developed with staff.
Their role is to ensure that the Senedd has enough resources (both in terms of staff and infrastructure) to work effectively. The Commissioners are also responsible for overseeing Senedd Members’ pay and allowances.
The Senedd Commission has further responsibilities to promote public awareness of the devolved government in Wales as well as the current and future electoral system.
