Yes, I absolutely support that and commend the Scout group for bringing this forward. It's good to see young people looking out for their own generation, I think. It's fantastic.

All agreed? Very good. Thank you very much. Moving on, then, to petition P-07-1569, 'Ban shops selling vapes like sweets; ban sweet-style marketing and branding to stop underage vaping'. 'Vaping among underage minors is rising in Wales. Many shops sell vapes…

Yes, I think that's fair: seek more information. So, again, we'll write to the Minister to seek their position before we bring that one back for further consideration. All agreed? Good, good. Moving on to P-07-1588, ‘Introduce a Basic Income for the Arts…

Yes. So, we'll include that statement in the letter as well. Okay, thank you very much. Good brief. Moving on then to the next item, 3.2, P-07-1564, ‘Restore parental consent for Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE) lessons in the Curriculum for Wales’. ‘Under…

No, I'd agree. It sounds like it's in a shocking state. I'm surprised they've let it get that far, but—.

We now move on to new petitions being considered in the committee for the first time. The first of these petitions was referred from the previous Senedd, because the response from the previous Welsh Government was not received in time for the petition to be…

Okay, good. Any further points? No. All agreed. That's a good summary. Thank you very much. We move on now. That completes that agenda section for previous petitions coming into this seventh Senedd.

I don't disagree with anything you said there; I think you're spot on. The last thing these parents need is more bureaucracy after going through something so traumatic. I think we as a committee have to do everything we can to push this through. I don't…

Happy with that? Okay, very good. We move on to item 2.3, petition P-06-1464, 'Allow Welsh families who have experienced Baby loss before 24 weeks to obtain baby loss certificate'. The submitter was Angharad Cousins, and it has got 749 signatures. I would…

Yes, absolutely. So, let's agree to reach out to both Ministers, if you like, and we'll get a response back from both of them at the same time.

Yes, it's an interesting one. On the surface, it does strike me as being rural, but then, when you look into it, it could touch the economy, it could touch the environment, it could touch local planning; there are all these different areas. I think perhaps my…

Are we all agreed? Okay. We'll take that as the action, then, please. Thank you very much. Good job. That's the first one done for this Senedd session. We'll move on to item 2.2, P-06-1232, 'Stop the proliferation of intensive poultry units (IPUs) by…

No. I think it's a pretty good brief. There are no questions from me. I'd certainly be interested in seeing what the culture committee has to say on it before perhaps we make any further decisions.
