The events of the last couple of days should encourage us to redouble our efforts. This is why the Welsh Conservative party has tabled a motion of censure against Christine Gwyther. Cross party support for our censure motion would send a clear mandate to the first secretary, Rhodri Morgan to address this issue and appoint to post a person who is capable of working pro-actively towards addressing this important issue. However, the Assembly will consider any representations as to whether it should give consent in a particular case, even where the position is otherwise. In addition, the Assembly shall have regard to the above general policy in respect of existing simplified procedure consents under section 111, where the holder of such a consent wishes to add a site in Wales to a programme of development of work.

A motion needs to be passed by the full Assembly before it can become Assembly policy. There are two types of motions, Named Day Motions, which already have a date specified for discussion, and No Named Day Motions, which rely on the Business Committee to set a date.
