Okay, Louisa, if there are no more questions from committee members, I'd just very much like to thank you for joining us this morning to give evidence and answer our questions, particularly because our other witness, Martin Gallagher, was not available. We're…

Just on that, Louisa, would it have resonated, do you think, the ombudsman's report and findings, in the community? Would it be widely known about and hopefully encourage the community to understand that there are avenues to pursue to make sure that the…

Louisa, have you noticed any shift in recent years in terms of the sort of culture within local authorities at officer, member and leadership level? I know it's a pretty difficult question, but have you noticed any shift at all?

Presumably, Louisa, if there's a sort of monopoly position for a business, then presumably the charges made might be on the high side as well. Is that something that you've come across?

Sticking with the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan', and, indeed, the recommendations that this committee previously made, one key aim was to pilot additional or new ways of funding permanent provision, and explore the feasibility of a mobile home rental…

Have you come across the issues with difficulty in obtaining planning permission that seems to suggest a bias against the Gypsy, Roma, Traveller community, Louisa? Have you got any particular examples or would it be more anecdotal?

From your engagement with the community, Louisa, do you have a view in terms of the desire for those smaller private sites as compared to the bigger sites that we see? Would the community favour one over the other generally, or are you not in a position to…

Yes, so do you see addressing those planning issues, Louisa—is that best addressed through this sort of pilot programme as far as private sites are concerned, which hopefully might come about, or is it by finding a way of facilitating that engagement and…

Okay, Louisa. So, your understanding is that, in terms of advocacy, generally, it's an extension of the existing arrangements, basically. But in terms of the development of private sites, you're not quite sure what's happened with that work and the support…

Yes. Okay. I guess it's very different now to perhaps years ago where there was this idea that the Gypsy, Traveller community travelled at particular times of the year for particular events or work opportunities and that sort of thing. It's very different…

Diolch yn fawr, Siân. Louisa, could I just ask, in terms of stopping places and transitory provision, how easy or difficult is it to work out the sort of travel patterns and numbers? Would it be possible to do some work to look at that, and, on that basis…
