Legislative Assembly for Wales

The Welsh Legislative Assembly, officially known as the Senedd or Welsh Parliament, is the primary decision-making body for Wales. It makes laws, controls finances, and shapes policies on issues like health, education, and the environment within Wales. The Assembly is composed of elected members called Members of the Senedd (MSs). While certain issues are reserved to the UK Parliament, the Senedd has significant powers to tailor legislation and services to Wales' needs, promoting local governance and regional identity. It operates with a focus on democratic representation and Welsh interests within the broader UK framework.
