Here's the reply from the Standards Commissioner at the Senedd.
Douglas also provided a similar response for Dan Thomas.
It does kind of make you wonder why they have timescales for replies to correspondence, if there is no censure for members who do not meet the target, doesn't it? Is the Commissioner really telling members ''You don't have to reply to anyone if ya don't want to!'' and all the members said ''Oh goody''. ''Hardly accountability is it Dwave'' says 'The Kid'.
So do we need to complain to some other body, and will they give the self same reply? Like these people.
Yep 'aims to improve public services and standards of conduct' Well having Assembly Member's actually responding to correspondence would be an improvement in standards of conduct, don't-cha think Rhun? Cos we are at 50 working days and counting, and still no replies from you or Dan Thomas. Hardly good practice is it?
So I tweeted Rhun this.
And while doing this I had another reply to my email from Cai Parry-Jones MS, It's nice to be heard Rhun.

Dear david gabriel,
Thank you for contacting Cai and for taking the time to explain your concerns regarding e-bike regulations and your experience following the seizure of your e-bike by South Wales Police.
Cai has asked me to respond on his behalf. We have noted the points you have raised regarding the current rules governing electrically assisted pedal cycles, particularly the restrictions relating to speed and throttle assistance, and your concerns about how these rules affect older and disabled people who may rely on e-bikes for their mobility and independence.
Thank you also for sharing your blog posts and for explaining the changes you would like to see considered.
As the legislation governing e-bikes and their classification is principally a matter reserved to the UK Parliament, there are limitations on what Cai can directly change as a Member of the Senedd. However, the issues you raise around accessibility, mobility and the interaction with policing in Wales are useful for Cai to be aware of.
We will ensure that your correspondence is brought to Cai's attention and kept on file as part of his consideration of transport and accessibility issues. Thank you again for getting in touch and for sharing your experience.
Kind regards,
Kenzie Hollingsworth
