Senedd expansion means cost expected to rise by £1.2m next year

The commission will publish its draft budget later ahead of a vote on the proposals in November.

However, a briefing document provided to MSs and obtained by BBC Wales, shows it is seeking an overall budget of £84.3m for 2025-26, an increase of 16.7%.

It says this is necessary due to the coming together of a number of factors, including a commitment to increase public sector wages, pre-election costs as the Welsh Parliament heads towards the 2026 poll and maintenance work on Tŷ Hywel, the block behind the main Senedd building where MSs have their offices.

There are further costs associated with exploring possible options when the Senedd’s current lease on Tŷ Hywel expires in 2032.

However, the key challenge facing the commission over the next year will be adapting offices and the Senedd building itself to accommodate 36 more MSs from 2026.
