[2] Accountable to Minister for Economy Trefnydd (2024–) The main responsibility of Chief Whip is to ensure the Welsh Government's business can go through the Senedd, in particular securing the majority of votes the government holds to vote on its legislative and policy programmes.

The chief whip attends the cabinet, and works with the business minister to timetable and secure passage of legislative competence orders and acts) (formerly measures).

They have daily contact with these key figures to deal with ongoing matters, timetabling and agenda issues.

Discussions may follow these channels for other matters, such as changes coming from or presented to the Business Committee.

To minimise the persuasion required for backbenchers to support the government, the Chief Whip advises the cabinet over the likely acceptability of any of its legislative proposals.
