Have you had any legal advice on it, and would 'reasonable endeavours' be a good, sort of acceptable middle ground compromise, do you reckon—'reasonable endevaours'?

Okay, great. And, in your written evidence, you expressed concerns about section 48 of the Bill placing duties on the commission to 'use its best endeavours'.

It's just the word 'compel'. Yes. Okay, thank you. I just want to ask you about the boundary review arrangements. In your evidence, you recommend a specific change to section 46 of the Bill, which would require mandatory consultees for boundary reviews listed…

Llinell Gwasanaeth Cymraeg y DU gan HSBC: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda HSBC UK
I just want to make the point that if somebody’s expecting a phone call any time over three days, they're not going to be carrying paperwork around with them for three days for them to refer to. So, that's an issue as well. So, in that moment in time when…

Good morning. Just to go over some of the questions that have been raised, you said that there are 1,700 regular users of the service, 85 of whom are vulnerable, who will be contacted, but how will you be promoting that people will be getting a callback if…

Datganiad gan Sam Rowlands—Cyflwyno Bil Arfaethedig Aelod: Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru)
Mae gan y Bil nodau canmoladwy. Rwy'n credu'n gryf ym manteision addysg awyr agored, ac yn croesawu ysgolion coedwig yn ein darpariaethau. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n teimlo ei bod yn anonest cyflwyno Bil o'r fath pan fo eich plaid wedi treulio bron i 14 mlynedd yn…
