Draft Determination for the Seventh Senedd

The Board held a consultation from 15 December 2025 to 4 February 2026, to seek views on the new simplified draft Determination for the Seventh Senedd. The consultation also included a limited number of policy proposals and inflationary uplifts to salaries and budgets for 2026-27.

The Board will review consultation responses at their February and March meetings and decisions will be reflected in the Board’s final Determination which will take effect from the outset of the Seventh Senedd.

The Board made its key decisions relating to Members’ salaries and business and staffing budgets for the Seventh Senedd in July 2025. These, and background information relating to these decisions, are available below.

This includes summary details of the salaries, pensions and resettlement support provided to Members and the wider staffing support (including salaries) and other business costs, including support for disabled Members, Members with caring responsibilities, overnight accommodation, travel and constituency office and engagement support. 

Members who are seeking re-election will be required to review current job roles against the Job Families Classification Framework, before the extended deadline of 30 June 2026.
