CONCRETE proposals to outlaw politicians from lying in Wales have been made by a think tank for the Senedd to consider.

The Institute for Constitutional and Democratic Research (ICDR) has set out how to ban politicians in Wales from lying after the Welsh government committed to bringing in a Bill to help rebuild public trust before the 2026 Senedd election.

Under the ICDR’s proposal Senedd members, or candidates, found guilty of deliberate deception by an independent judicial process would be disqualified from office.
