In response to recommendations from the fourth Assembly’s Petitions Committee report published in February 2016, the Assembly has now agreed a motion to amend the arrangements for Public Petitions.
The new rules will mean that:
- The petitioner must be resident in Wales, or in the case of organisations – have a base in Wales
- The threshold of support for submitting a petition will be increased from 10 to 50
