Plenary
Plenary is the meeting of the whole Senedd which takes place in the Siambr, the Senedd’s debating chamber. Plenary is chaired by the Presiding Officer and is the main forum for Members of the Senedd to carry out their roles as democratically elected representatives.
These roles are to represent the interests of Wales and its people, to make laws for Wales, agrees Welsh taxes and to hold the Welsh Government to account. They do this through questions to Ministers, debates and voting on issues affecting everyday life in Wales.
Plenary takes place twice a week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and is open to the public to come and watch. The Record of Proceedings, a transcript of all Plenary meetings, is available and fully searchable on our business search. You can also watch Plenary meetings live or watch past meetings on demand on Senedd TV.
For a useful introduction Plenary procedures, download our Guide to Plenary (PDF, 364kb). You can read more about the types of business, the organisation of business and the rules Members of the Senedd must follow here.
