However the committee found that the three used this communication allowance improperly as part of "Plaid's" campaigning during the elections as the adverts were placed in publications with a circulation outside of their respective constituencies. Of the committee findings, Llwyd said that they would comply with the findings of the committee, but that they had "...acted in good faith throughout, and fully in line with the advice that was offered to us by the DFA (Department of Finance and Administration) at the time of the publication of the reports".

At the Llandudno party conference 2007, Llwyd encouraged the party to nominate peers into the House of Lords, citing that "Plaid" peers would "help ensure planned legislation for Wales was not blocked at Westminster", adding that many in the Lords may want to prevent full law-making powers for Wales. In January 2011, Dafydd Wigley joined Lord Elis-Thomas in the House of Lords.
