LIVE · REFRESHED EVERY FEW MINUTES
Where Westminster’s and the Senedd’s committees are actually moving — the 20 most recent sitting days (17 Jun – 22 Jul).
Parliament is in recess. Committees last sat on 22 July 2026 (35 days ago), and are next scheduled for 1 September 2026. Session counts and velocity below compare the 20 most recent sitting days (17 Jun – 22 Jul) with the 20 before them (27 Apr – 16 Jun), so they keep measuring real activity while the House is up. The 8-week pulse below stays on calendar weeks, which is why it thins out towards today.
