1.These explanatory notes are for the National Assembly for Wales Commissioner for Standards Measure 2009 which was passed by the National Assembly for Wales on 14 October 2009 and approved by Her Majesty in Council on 9 December 2009. They have been prepared by the Committee on Standards of Conduct, to assist understanding of the Measure. They do not form part of the Measure and have not been endorsed by the National Assembly for Wales.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Measure. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Measure. So, where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
