Thank you for that, Trudy. On the access to cash points for both the consumer and the business, I think there's been in the Senedd, and I believe there still is, cross-party support for community banking. The sooner we see progress within that to address some…

Thank you for that. I can see Trudy has managed to join us. Welcome, Trudy, to the committee this afternoon. We've just asked Ben about the pressures driving small businesses to go cash free in Wales. I'm happy for you to add if you wish to, or we can move on…

Thank you for that answer. One of the witnesses, Dot Gallagher from Mencap Môn, described her son trying to get an appointment with the bank—it was the Co-op Bank, I believe. They live in Ynys Môn—Anglesey—and their nearest bank branch is in Chester, which is…

I think those points at the end bring this session timely to a close today. Your evidence has been loud and clear, I think, for the committee to take into consideration. There will be a written transcript of what we've heard today. You'll also be able to…

Sesiwn dystiolaeth - Panel 1 - P-06-1335 Dylai Llywodraeth Cymru gymryd camau i sicrhau y gall oedolion agored i niwed heb gerdyn banc dalu ag arian parod

I tried to allude to it before that a number of high-street banks have left communities—not just in our own communities in Wales, but across the United Kingdom. It's quite stark and telling. And your evidence, again, proves that. Janet and Steven, are there…

Diolch. We will certainly discuss with our colleagues in Westminster to try and find that report because I think it will be useful for us to see it. Before we go and end this session, I just wanted to ask perhaps a final question and give you an opportunity…

Thank you, diolch, Rhys. Before I bring Joel James in, can I just try and draw out a couple of things? Firstly, it would be very good if the committee can have sight of the survey responses. We'll follow that up with you after the meeting, but that would be…

Thank you for that. That's really interesting. I think the committee may want to seek further information from the taskforce, but we'll consider that later. We'll move to questions from members of the committee, starting with Peredur Owen Griffiths.

Thank you for that. You mentioned a number of organisations that you're working with. In response to this petition, the Minister has said she would encourage engagement with the disability rights taskforce group. Have you had that engagement with them?

Thank you all for being here with us. We do appreciate your time today for what is an important petition. The committee certainly recognises that. Wayne, perhaps I could start with you this afternoon. Mencap Cymru started this petition; perhaps you could tell…
