Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 5 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Why was there a change of heart from the Welsh Government on a tailored review of the development bank?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Why was there a change of heart on a tailored review?

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
I think you've given us some really helpful questions to develop with the Minister later, so I'll stop there.
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Yes, sure. And I think you've clearly made that—

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
The reason we're raising this as an issue is that the evidence we got from Scotland was that they do take that kind of more structured approach, and we're just wondering why would that be absent in Wales and present in Scotland.
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Okay. Would you welcome that, or would you find that cumbersome as well?
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
But you're not aware of any intention to do that imminently.
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Okay. I'm just looking at the 2003 statement from the Welsh Government and they said they would move from a tailored review to a self-assessment model, so perhaps we can get some clarity from the Minister later on that.
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Can I just ask, are you expecting to be asked to do a self-assessment?
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
And you will be undertaking a self-assessment model, a risk assessment, as an alternative, which seems to be more internal and less rigorous than a tailored review. Is that in addition to those things that you've just mentioned?
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
You weren't given any reasons as to why there wouldn't be a tailored review.
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Diolch. Excuse me, I seem to have developed a cold this morning. Could I ask about the process of the tailored review? The Welsh Government said in 2001 that they would want to see a full-scale tailored review, but that seemed to change in 2003. So, what are…

Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Okay. That's appreciated, thank you.
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
So, it would be inconceivable for a Minister to have that kind of influence?
24 Ebrill 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Ymchwiliad: Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 4 - Banc Datblygu Cymru
Can you confirm, Giles, just for the avoidance of doubt, that the Development Bank of Wales has absolute independence of Welsh Ministers, and that Ministers don't have any influence over individual loan decisions?

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ogledd Cymru a Thrafnidiaeth: Blaenoriaethau ar gyfer Trafnidiaeth: Gwrando, partneriaeth, gwneud newid
Gallaf feddwl am dri rheswm pam mae angen diwygio'r polisi hwn. Yn gyntaf oll, mae yna ffordd yn fy etholaeth sy'n 20 mya, ac mae bron pawb yn cytuno y dylai fod yn 30 mya. Prin fod unrhyw dai arni, ac mae pobl ond yn anwybyddu'r terfyn cyflymder, sy'n…
