The Senedd has a third less ministers than the N.I assembly who are hardly ever in session, it clearly needs expanding. Especially with the 20% drop in Welsh MPs that will surely offset this? (or do Welsh taxpayers pay the same regardless whether there is 40 or 32 MPs?)

I don't remember the Tories calling for a referendum whether there should be a reduction in Welsh MPs?

There is a significantly more power in the Senedd than when it was created 20+ years ago and more members benefit how decisions are made and increase their scrutiny. I can understand this is always going to be a hard sell during current times but the Welsh Government can hardly be blamed for the wider world economic issues.
