Thank you. We have run out of time, but if there's anything you want to submit in written evidence, please feel free to do so. We thank you very much indeed for your participation. We'll send you a transcript of what you've said and it'll stand as the record…

Okay. Has anybody else got any starters for 10? Chris.

Well, people with large amounts of income have no problem feeding themselves well.

Tell us what you mean by this food resilience plan.

Sure. Okay. So, in terms of what you want the next Government to do, are you looking for a Minister for food, or what are your proposals? Here's your shopping—. Very briefly, just tell us what is it you want from the next Government.

We'd be very interested. Again, we're going to need to turn this around quite quickly, so whether or not it will be available in the time—. But, clearly, there are other areas, like Blaenau Gwent, which is lucky to have an independent greengrocer still. There…

Because the question I'll want answered in your evaluation is: how successful was it really in reaching those who are living in genuine food poverty? None of the three farmers markets in Cardiff are in areas of the highest deprivation, so how do you know that…

Okay. And just picking up on the Planet Card that we talked about earlier, are you still doing that, or is it a pilot that's now being reflected on before you relaunch it?

Mynediad at fwyd iach, maethlon a fforddiadwy: sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Very good. We're running out of time, so I just want to rattle through a few things. At the beginning, you mentioned the possibility of subsidising good food against the rubbish that people are invited to buy, which is of very little nutritional value. I…

Okay. So, Hannah, you were mentioning earlier about veg in schools, but it's tiny, the amount that's being grown, compared with what's needed. Eleven tons of carrots won't feed the children at all of our primary schools. So, how are we going to do this, to…

Thank you. Jane, I think we need to move on.
19 Ionawr 2026 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Mynediad at fwyd iach, maethlon a fforddiadwy: sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Do you think that's the way you got around the fact that six out of 10 households never cook from scratch? So, they may say that they know how to cook, but they're not actually cooking.
19 Ionawr 2026 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Mynediad at fwyd iach, maethlon a fforddiadwy: sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
There were lots of issues arising from that, but we'll move on and maybe come back at the end. Jane Dodds.

Julie, can I suggest we go to Chris first?

Fine. So, we think Chris Nottingham's mic is fixed now. I'll just pass over to Julie Morgan.

Okay. Chris, I'm going to have to ask you to go into a breakout room, because your sound isn't—. We're struggling to hear the important information you're trying to transmit. So, we could get the sound recorders to have a conversation with you, but in a…
