Speaking time in the Seventh Senedd

Derived from timestamps

Speaking time is the gap between a contribution's Senedd TV start and the next timed contribution's start. Untimed contributions carry no time. Where contributions share a start, the gap is split equally between them. The last timed contribution of a sitting has no next start, so it carries no time.
