The Audience in Sendd

The Senedd and visiting the Senedd

The parliament in welsh called the Senedd , the Senedd located in Wales at Cardiff, Cardiff bay, the Senedd is a modern building  with a from view facing the sea. The Senedd building was opened on 1^st March 2006. The plenary meeting takes place every week, twice on a Tuesday and Wednesday from 12:30 to 18:00 o’clock. One of its main attractive features is the funnel which is located in the centre of the building to reflect the natural light illuminated into the building.

I had the chance to visit Senedd with my colleagues and we arrived at the Senedd building, Cardiff bay at 1:45 pm. After that we were gathered outside the building and received instructions from the security. At 2:15 we went into the plenary meeting hall and had a debate on issues in concerning Wales. We all had a chance to listen to the debate which was in Welsh; however, the head phones and the screen in the hall helped translate the language from Welsh to English.

                                              The Cabinet Ministers

The government 

The government consists of a group of 20 ministers and the most significant position in the cabinet is the Prime Minister. In addition, he makes major decisions in the House of Commons and has an authority above the Queen of England in the cabinet. The cabinet has a meeting once a week and the prime minister chooses his ministers in the cabinet when he or she is elected. Moreover, the chair member of the cabinet is the prime minister; therefore, he coordinates the different government ministers. In the parliamentary system a cabinet shuffle is an informal term for an event that takes place when a Head of government rotates or makes changes to the composition of ministers in his or her cabinet. Taxes are paid to the local council and this depends mainly on the size of the residence and the number of adults living in it. The local council or the local government is responsible for the public's hygiene and environmental health. Therefore, it is responsible for collecting rubbish, inspecting, cleaning and organizing public areas such as swimming pools, public parks and playgrounds.
