Diolch yn fawr, Luke. Are Members content with Luke's proposal, to send the letters, to share the views, to the Minister and close the petition on that basis? Happy? Yes. Okay. Moving on then to petitions that I believe, as Chair, require no further action…

Thank you, Joel. So, there seems to be a consensus to write to the Minister. I should say that we should note that, as Joel says, there are many differing views here, and emotions are different within this petition, and we do as a committee try to take…

Thanks, Joel. I think the committee has highlighted the Bill that is going through the House of Lords as an opportunity now, and perhaps that's for individual Members to raise on the floor of the Senedd with the relevant Minister at the relevant point. But…

Thank you for that, Joel. There seems to be full consent as to where to take this petition forward. I'll note this was the fifth time the committee has considered it, so we have taken this petition seriously. We held a Plenary debate too. In addition, there's…

Okay, item 4 on today's agenda, updates to previous petitions. Item 4.1, P-05-1010, 'An independent inquiry into the 2020 flooding in Rhondda Cynon Taf so that lessons are learned', submitted by Eleri Griffiths, with 6,017 signatures. And I note we have…

Yes, understood and noted for the record, Joel, and I think the agreement, just for clarity, from the committee will be to forward the petition on to the special committee on Senedd reform, and not necessarily agree with the actual petition itself; individual…

Thank you, Luke. I would agree with that and I can see all Members are in agreement with that too, so—. Oh, Joel.

Okay. Diolch yn fawr, Luke, for that. As a compromise, I think the committee can write to the health board, and that is where our involvement draws a line. We write to the health board on behalf of the petitioner, and we share the responses through the…

Thank you, Joel. I think Mike and those who have signed this petition, and those unpaid carers in Wales, do welcome the work that you and Heledd Fychan have done in organising those round-tables. I'm sure they will look forward to that restarting again, and…

Thank you, Joel. I can see Members are in agreement with that. I think it's worth noting as well that the Government have a clear intention, and the Minister has stated that, but the contingencies are in place if the public health situation does not make it…

Diolch yn fawr, Luke. I can see that Members are in agreement with your suggestion, so we'll take that action forward and thank the petitioner. Diolch. Item 3.3 on the agenda is P-06-1239, 'Cancel GCSE Exams in Wales': 'There is uncertainty around the…

Thank you, Buffy. There's no surprise that you are an avid beekeeper, there is often a buzz around the place when you're in the Bay. So, that's noted. I see that Members are in agreement, maybe not with my pun, but certainly with the action from the Member…
