The Welsh Government has announced the new Bills on the agenda
for the final year of this Senedd term, focusing on laws that
will deliver for the people of Wales.
The Welsh Government is introducing four key Bills aimed at
improving standards across Wales. These include:
- New measures to strengthen accountability for Senedd Members.
- A Bill that will require visitor accommodation to meet a
relevant set of standards to help give visitors confidence in
their safety and enhance the visitor experience, supporting
tourism, a vital part of the Welsh economy.
- Legislation to ban greyhound racing.
- Consolidation Bills to simplify planning laws, making it
clearer for everyone.
The Government has already progressed Bills delivering for Wales,
including passing law to eliminate profit from the care of
looked-after children and introducing a Bill to improve bus
services.
Minister for Delivery delivered the statement to the
Senedd. She said:
"The final year of our legislative programme will demonstrate
that Wales is prepared to take the lead through our ban on
greyhound racing, which has cross-party support.
"We're introducing measures to strengthen accountability of
Members to their electorate, while regulation of visitor
accommodation will boost both our economy and tourism experience.
Making planning law more accessible will also help accelerate
decisions and grow our economy."
