Tomorrow’s Wales and the Electoral Reform Society will jointly host a panel debate at this year’s National Eisteddfod at Bala, on the topic ‘Devolution and the Future of Wales’.

The event will take place on Friday 7th August between 11.00am - 12.00pm at the Sbardun stand on the Eisteddfod Maes. The debate will be chaired by Meri Huws, Chair of the Welsh Language Board and member of the Tomorrow’s Wales Executive, and on the panel will be:

The event will provide an opportunity to explore issues of importance for the devolution process over the coming period and will include opportunities for the audience to express their views and question the panelists.
