Welsh Assembly

The Welsh Assembly is the Welsh equivalent of the UK parliament in Westminster. The building is called the 'Senedd' and is situated in Cardiff Bay. We will be visiting it next week. You should be able to find answers to most of the questions on http://www.assemblywales.org/ . Write all your answers on your blog. Some questions you will not be able to answer until the visit, so these can be left until next week.
