Test your Welsh assembly know-how
So how much do you know about the Welsh assembly?

It is eight years since the first assembly sat in Cardiff Bay, and in many ways devolution is still finding its feet.

Surveys suggest public awareness of the assembly is low, with one recent poll showing that half of Welsh electors did not know that elections were due this year.

Here's your chance to show off your assembly prowess. No prizes, though - just a warm glow of self-satisfaction if you get more than a handful right.

You can check your answers at the bottom of the quiz.
