Introduction
|
|
In giving evidence to the Commission,
AWEMA (All Wales Ethnic Minority Association) will broadly
follow the issues and questions as laid out in the consultation
document.
|
|
We will follow the submission of our
arguments under the following headings:
|
a) The Size of the National Assembly
– With No Change in Functions
b) The Size of the National Assembly –
With the Acquisition of Further Powers
c) The Assembly’s Electoral System
d) The Constituency Boundaries
e) Factors to be Considered in Constructing
a Possible Larger Assembly.
|
|
|
Under each of the headings, we will provide
some form of commentary, and then, draw on that commentary
in addressing the questions posed for consultation.
|
|
It is important for the Commission to
appreciate that throughout our evidence, AWEMA will
base its arguments and evidence from an Equalities Perspective,
but with a focus on Race, Ethnicity, Multiculturalism,
Religion and Multi-Lingualism. We believe that this
is important as we are likely to be the only organisation
that will give evidence from a "Black" perspective.
