Counsel General
Following representations I am glad that the Welsh Assembly Government is no longer maintaining that Carwyn Jones is a Minister and has amended the Welsh Assembly Government Website.
I expect now that Labour and Plaid will seek to amend Standing Orders to allow Carwyn Jones to answer questions in plenary on Assembly Business as under our Standing Orders only Ministers can answer questions. They have the voting power to do so - but I do not believe a law officer of the Assembly should be answering questions on the Assembly’s business and we will vote against this. It is all a device to keep as many Labour politicians in the tent as possible – nothing to do with the good governance of Wales. That is not the way to run a nation.
