National Assembly for Wales

The National Assembly for Wales, now known as Senedd Cymru, is the devolved parliament for Wales, responsible for making decisions on various local issues such as health, education, and the environment. Established in 1999, it allows Wales to exercise a degree of self-governance, separate from the UK Parliament in Westminster. The Assembly has the power to pass laws, scrutinize the Welsh Government, and engage with the public. It plays a crucial role in representing the interests of the people of Wales and promoting its culture and identity.
