Extracted from the Wikipedia article Senedd.
The Senedd ( ; lit. 'parliament' or 'senate'), officially known as the Welsh Parliament in English and Senedd Cymru () in Welsh, is the devolved, unicamerallegislature of Wales. A democratically elected body, its role is to scrutinise the Welsh Government and legislate on devolved matters that are not reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is a bilingual institution, with both Welsh and English being the official languages of its business. From its creation in May 1999 until May 2020, the Senedd was officially known as the National Assembly for Wales (Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) and was often simply called the Welsh Assembly.
