Darlledu gwasanaeth cyhoeddus yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r BBC
I think during COVID, it was a revelation for people that decisions were being made in Wales differently, and that really highlighted it. I just want to ask if you can point to any material improvements in BBC performance for audiences in Wales that have been…

Diolch. Good morning. Earlier, you mentioned relevance to people in Wales. I just want to go back to how you ensure that devolved issues are covered suitably in Wales and that Welsh life is covered suitably, to keep it relevant to people in Wales.

I recently visited a primary school that had a mock election, which was very interesting. So, I had to make sure that—. Somebody did ask me, 'Was that politically biased?' And I said 'No'. They were voting on whether they should have more sports and things…

Okay. And just regarding harassment and abuse, that was cited as a barrier, sometimes, to standing. So, there have been discussions regarding having a survey afterwards of candidates. So, do you think that would be useful as well? Do you think that might be…
