(2)The provision must secure that the appointments to the places on each committee are (if possible) determined by a resolution of the Assembly—
(a)which secures that its membership reflects (so far as is reasonably practicable) the balance of the political groups to which Assembly members belong, and

(6)The number produced for a political group in relation to the second or any subsequent place on the committee is—
(a)if one or more places are already allocated to the political group, the number of Assembly members belonging to the political group divided by the aggregate of one and the number of places already so allocated, or
(b)otherwise, the number of Assembly members belonging to the political group.

(b)the number produced by subsection (6) in relation to any place on a committee is the same for two or more political groups and is greater than that so produced for any other political group.
(9)The provision must modify the operation of the provision made in compliance with subsections (2) to (8) with a view to securing that (so far as is reasonably practicable having regard to the total number of places on committees)—
(a)every Assembly member who does not belong to a political group is entitled to be a member of at least one committee, and
(b)the total number of places on committees allocated to Assembly members belonging to each political group is at least as great as the number of Assembly members belonging to the political group.
