Welsh Parliament (Senedd)

The Welsh Parliament, or Senedd, is the elected legislative body responsible for making laws and shaping policies in Wales. It was established in 1999 and has 60 Members of the Senedd (MSs) who are elected by the public. The Senedd handles areas like health, education, and transport, working alongside the UK Parliament. Its role is to represent Welsh interests, scrutinize government decisions, and pass legislation relevant to Wales, granting the region a degree of self-governance within the United Kingdom.
