The Senedd is required by law to appoint Commissioners who are responsible for providing the Senedd with the staff and resources they need to carry out their roles effectively for the people of Wales. The Commission is chaired by the Llywydd, and is made up of four Members who have been elected by the Senedd. Each member of the Commission holds a specific portfolio of responsibilities for the Fifth Senedd.
