Increasing the number of Senedd members is a "full stop" that will future proof Welsh devolution for the next 100 years, according to its presiding officer.

Members of the Senedd (MSs) voted last week to increase their numbers from 60 to 96 from the next Welsh election, in 2026.

Elin Jones said the reforms which were backed by a cross-party majority of MSs but opposed by the Conservatives, made the Senedd a "fit for purpose" parliament, even if Wales were to become independent.

Speaking to the BBC Walescast podcast, Ms Jones said the vote, which coincided with the 25th anniversary of the first elections to Cardiff Bay, was "hugely significant - and a long time in coming".
