Two big ones there, Ian, but they're really fundamental issues. They're big issues in Aberconwy at the moment, as I speak.

Thank you. I'm aware that Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water is actually actively failing to provide effectual drainage and, in doing so, actually using financial resources as an excuse for allowing sewage flood incidents to occur on, for example, some constituents' land…

Thank you, and it's good to see you on here, Ian, and thank you for all the work that you do within Dŵr Cymru, and others, when issues do arise in my constituency. It's good to see that you do work on behalf of the community. Now, the recent future…

Thank you. And question 6: the recent future generations commissioner's report found that opportunities for making public spend work harder are being missed due to lack of support for the procurement profession and lack of accountability at leadership level…

Thanks, Ed. In terms of road building concerns, I know the CECA has previously raised them with my office—about local authorities not accepting recycled aggregates as a product in this process. Why do you think this is the case, and what action do you think…

The CECA have raised concerns about the length of time being taken by the roads panel to compile their report. Can you outline the impact on jobs and communities if key infrastructure investment does not go ahead? Can you also outline how the civil…

Thanks, Vicky. Because, of course, this situation arose in the Senedd yesterday, and then, on my journey home, I noticed that somebody had mentioned in Gwynedd that, even though they have that written into their policy, it hasn't actually made any difference…

Thank you, Chairman. In his report, Dr Brooks does acknowledge that the issue of second homes is a regional and local problem rather than a national one. Whilst there are more empty homes in Wales than second homes, there are some communities where challenges…

Talking more now at a regional level, in the previous Senedd, the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee was concerned about the lack of progress at this level, with the Welsh Government responding by using the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act…

Thank you. Now, there have been calls for funding support also to increase the number of public sector planners employed and to support specialist knowledge. I'm aware here in my own local authority that they have to buy planning services out from other local…

Thank you. I have two on question 1 and then question 3. In RTPI Cymru's submission to the committee, one significant issue that's been highlighted facing the land planning sector in the sixth Senedd is the fact that total expenditure on services has fallen…

Thanks, Llyr. One of the arguments, of course, in favour of free ports is the supply chain benefits. Now, we know that the dynamism of British ports has helped generate jobs, including a cluster in the north-east of businesses supporting long-term, green…

Yes, just on ports, in 2018 Holyhead port handled 5.3 million tonnes of freight traffic, making it the third-largest port by tonnage in Wales after Milford Haven and Port Talbot. I also note that it saw a 10 per cent increase in growth during the pandemic…

Thanks, Scott. Now, a Women's Institute survey found one in five rural respondents do not have access to a reliable service. The introduction of a flexible service has been a key solution. So, how does this shift in passenger model impact the economics of the…
