The Assembly Elections were on 5th May and the results were known that weekend. Shortly after that the Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet were appointed and yet nearly a month has gone by and there are still no signs that any Committees apart from the Business Committee have been formed or any Committee Chair’s appointed or that AM’s know what Committee they will sit on for the next five years.
It would be bad enough for the Government to take such a laid back attitude to these matters before WAG got law making powers, but seen as the Assembly now has legislative powers as well as a minority Government that is in more need than ever of being scrutinised and held to account these decision needs to be made soon, after all Scotland and Northern Ireland have managed it.
And if you think I’m exaggerating events this week are a good example, the Welsh Assembly is on half term while the Scottish Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly were both sitting and Committees met – time for the Welsh Government to get its act together and get on with the business of governing Wales. After all the issues of tuition fees at Welsh Universities, what the Welsh Government is going to do with the £10 million Enterprise Zone money and the future of Southern Cross Care Homes in Wales to name but a few matters need answers.Any source
