Cynnig o gydymdeimlad a theyrngedau i Ei Mawrhydi Y Frenhines
Fel y cawsom ni ein hatgoffa gan Arlywydd Ffrainc wythnos diwethaf, rydym ni'n siarad am 'ein Brenhines ni' neu 'eich Brenhines chi', fel yr oedd ef yn ei ddweud, ond yn Ffrainc dim ond 'vive la reine' yw hi, oherwydd hi yw Brenhines yr holl fyd. Hi yw'r…

Cynnig o gydymdeimlad a theyrngedau i Ei Mawrhydi Y Frenhines
Mae Jane Dodds a Siân Gwenllian wedi sôn yn barod am y swyddogaeth bwysig a oedd gan y Frenhines fel arweinydd benywaidd. Mae hi'n anodd i ni ddeall bod bywyd cyhoeddus, yn 1952, yn cael ei ddominyddu yn gyfan gwbl gan ddynion. Ni allai menywod gael eu penodi…

I just wanted to go back to the business of the flexibility of the nursing contract, because it does drive people into becoming agency workers, because they simply can't get that partnership approach to enabling the system to understand their particular…

Both those schemes are very welcome, it's just we haven't been doing them fast enough, because we are facing the abyss at the moment, unfortunately. But the key is, really, how we multiply good practice, because some of those LEADER schemes, which you'll be…

Strategaeth economaidd ar gyfer cymunedau arfordirol a gwledig
Okay. That sounds a really useful way of approaching it. Just looking lastly at the Welsh Government's foundational economy ambitions, how are we supporting Welsh farmers to add value to their produce so that they can sell more of it, both into the public…

What is the Welsh Government doing to broker new relationships? I was at a farm recently—she knows about dairy farming, she doesn't know about horticulture farming, so how do we get that sort of partnership arrangement, where we've got environmental…

That seems to be prudent in the context of the current conditions when there's so much upheaval in any case for farmers in Wales as well as for consumers, because of our disruptive relationship with our European partners, both for selling food to other parts…

Thank you, yes. You've already touched on the forthcoming agriculture Bill. How is the Welsh Government taking into account the cost-of-living crisis and the impact of the war in Ukraine on the food system in its development of the Bill?

So, obviously, planning to plant trees for future construction needs is really important. What about planning orchards for future food needs, given that the situation with the European Union is difficult, fluid and could break down completely? And, clearly…

The Deputy Minister has made it pretty clear that the outcome of the roads review is likely to see funding released, but this is not going to be business as usual. 'Llwybr Newydd' means that we're going to have to focus on the way we use the road space, as…

Last night, the Senedd voted in a default 20 mph for all urban areas, residential areas. So, how are you going to factor that into your repairs and renovation of the roads to ensure that we've got the street infrastructure that we need by September next year?

So, what are the alternatives, then? What about joint ventures with private companies, for example—things like the Fflecsi scheme that you've got in rural areas in north Wales? Is that a way forward, if you don't actually have the expertise? What we need is…

Yes, but Cardiff and Newport have managed to achieve that. Why have other local authorities not stepped up to the plate there?

Cardiff and Newport have both been successful investing in electric buses. Why have other local authorities not applied for Department for Transport funding?

Okay, but given the imperative to reduce carbon emissions, what plans do local authorities have to force people to think much more clearly about increasing their use of active travel and public transport?

Teithio ar fysiau a’r rheilffordd yng Nghymru - sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Okay. There clearly is an opportunity in the rise and rise in fuel costs to get people to rethink the economics of it, but, at the moment, is it the case that taking a journey by car is still cheaper than going on public transport, in the main? And what…

So, you discount the idea of local government differentiating between the different types of cars as a way of getting people to think about that?

Tim Peppin, you were talking about image. So, what can local authorities do to counter the multimillion-pound vehicle industry that will continue to behave like this if we don't do something about it?

Okay. So, just going back to the image problem. Lord Deben, who's the chair of the Climate Change Committee, has advised us that all the benefits that have been achieved in better fuel efficiency in vehicles have been eliminated by this enthusiasm for sports…
