Dadl ar Adroddiad y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd, a Seilwaith—'Adroddiad blynyddol ar Gomisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru—2022-23'
Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Wrth gwrs, fe wyddom mai prif bwrpas Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru yw gwneud argymhellion i Lywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn ag anghenion seilwaith hirdymor Cymru dros gyfnod o bump i 80 mlynedd. Ond un cwestiwn sydd gennyf yw: pa mor…

Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Mae ysgolion marchogaeth, lletywyr cathod, bridwyr cŵn a siopau anifeiliaid anwes oll yn ddarostyngedig i reoliadau yng Nghymru, ond nid yw hynny'n wir am sefydliadau neu lochesau lles anifeiliaid. Rhaid inni beidio â bychanu'r gwaith caled a wnânt, ond gall…

Sorry. So, basically—. We're on that one, yes. What are your views on the proposals for each action and standard in an air quality action plan to have a projected date for compliance, to be agreed with the Welsh Ministers?

It is fair to say, isn't it, that, since devolution, every time a new Bill goes forward to become an Act, a lot of the responsibilities—. Somewhere in that Bill there's a burden, there's another ask of local authorities. So, how frequently do local…

How effective is the current LAQM regime? Do you believe that the proposals in this Bill will lead to an improvement in overall air quality? And to what extent does the Bill shift LAQM from a hotspot approach to adequately consider wider issues such as…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
We've talked so much, haven't we, now about targets, so I'm going to move on from that. So, how effective—

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Yes. Should the Bill include a requirement for the Welsh Ministers to report on progress towards delivery of the clean air plan strategy? If so, how often should progress be reported?

[Inaudible.]—RCP. Could you expand on the concerns outlined in your own written evidence about the drafting of provisions in relation to the national air quality strategy, and the unforeseen consequences of this approach?

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. Two of my questions have actually already been addressed, so, we'll move on to Asthma UK and RCP—

That's a really refreshingly honest answer. Thanks, Joseph.

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. What are your views on the Welsh Government's decision to set air quality targets in regs rather than on the face of the Bill?

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you, Chair, and can I just put on record my thanks to Joe and anybody who works within this? I've not been able to attend a couple of sessions recently for the very reason that I've got some respiratory issues going on at the moment, and I know when I'm…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Yes. Thank you for your evidence. What are your views on the extent to which this Bill will improve public engagement and education about air quality and its impacts on health and well-being?

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1

And, also, Healthy Air Cymru has expressed concern that the duty for designated public authorities 'to have regard to' the strategy isn't strong enough. So, do you share that view? And, if so, how could or should the duty be strengthened?
4 Mai 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Do you think the Bill should include a requirement for the Welsh Ministers to report on progress towards delivery of the clean air plan and strategy? And, again, how often should progress be reported?
4 Mai 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
No. I'm happy with what I've heard, because it does cover a lot of the other questions I was going to ask.

Huw has brought in about the PM2.5 target, other than just one part. Do you agree with the tight three-year timescale for setting this, and—yes, just following on from Huw, really—should there be a timescale for the introduction of other pollutant targets? If…

Yes. Thank you, Chair. All it was, when we take evidence during the forming of new Bills, quite often, one thing that comes up is that we haven't collected enough data. Now, you say that we look like we're almost at the start again, but a lot of years have…

Thank you, Chair. Good morning, bore da. Is the Bill, as currently drafted, sufficiently ambitious to lead to significant improvement in air quality in Wales and soundscapes? And if not, why not?

O, rwy'n gallu eich gweld chi. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf. Helo, Jenny. Roeddwn yn dweud eich bod wedi dadlau'n eithaf cryf. Nid yw'n ymwneud â sut y gallwn gael mathau newydd o ynni i fynd i mewn i gartrefi; mae'n ymwneud â sut y gallwn ni hefyd inswleiddio ac atal…
