The sessions facilitated a direct exchange with other PAC Chairs, Members, and Clerks on a range of technical issues, such as mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of recommendations and the use of media and technology in reaching out to the public. Members and Clerks of the Welsh and Bermudian PACs identified common challenges faced by parliaments and committees in small legislatures, and shared their approaches to managing, for example, parliamentarians’ limited time and resources. The eight delegates remained highly engaged in all discussions with their counterparts in Westminster and Cardiff, including the UK PAC Vice Chair Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP, and Welsh PAC Chair Nick Ramsay AM. Following the conclusion of the programme, delegates suggested specific changes they would undertake upon their return to Bermuda.
