Welsh Assembly

The Welsh Assembly, officially known as Senedd Cymru Welsh Parliament, is the devolved legislative body for Wales. It has the authority to make decisions on many local issues such as education, health, transportation, and the environment, which are separate from the UK Parliament in Westminster. Members of the Senedd are elected by Welsh residents, allowing Wales to have a degree of self-governance tailored to its specific needs. The Assembly works to represent Welsh interests, create laws, and oversee government policies within its devolved areas, balancing regional autonomy with the broader United Kingdom governance.
