Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Sure.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, that would be more—. Bear in mind that it's the Counsel General's area, not mine—what happens if they ignore Sewel.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. If we could get the legislative competence thing sorted out, they would fit together even better. So, it's possible that we'll have better conversations with that Minister now, once that's gone through.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Not really. Broadly, the UK Energy Bill and our policies are aligned. There are a couple of areas where we're not quite aligned, but the broad thrust of it is the same. The reason we weren't keen on the Bill itself is because of the issues around consent or…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, for example, we've been trying to get the planning inspectorate to bed in in Wales. So, that was a new thing to do. We need to make sure that that's all sorted out. There are other things going on at the same time. We've got other issues happening that we…

It would have been ready a little bit before this; last year, probably. I wouldn't say we would have been ready four days after the election, if that's what you—

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
—but it's also just the legislative timetable. So, this happens to be the slot that it's fallen into for various complicated reasons to do with other Bills, not necessarily this Bill.
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, it's partly resource, to be fair. So, it's the same people who are also doing all of the other stuff that we're doing in this area. You'll know we're doing a consolidation Bill as well, for example, and so on—
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, it's an immensely technical Bill. So, obviously, we don't get much response from Mrs Jones up in the Valleys, like, but we had one or two, but not very many. Mostly we're consulting with local planning authorities, planning officials, people who are…
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I have had a conversation with the Minister, but it hasn't reached any kind of resolution. And as you see, we haven't had a response to our letter, so we'll have to do something about that.
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, the layperson's version is that it's not clear who has competence over energy storage in the territorial water. It's currently governed by an Act that the UK Government doesn't use anymore for its own consenting process but has left us in limbo with…
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, I'll use some examples and then the officials, I'm sure, will be able to fill in on some of the conversations we've been having. So, there are issues that are the jagged edge of devolution, as we're all used to talking about. So, the issue about whether…
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Just to explain that a little, obviously, we need the Minister of the Crown consents because there are circumstances in which we might want, for example, Natural England to respond to something, if it's a cross-border matter or something. We could still…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I keep forgetting which hat you've got on.
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Oh, yes, sorry. It is. I beg your pardon.
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, we haven't resolved either of them, but they're in two different categories. So, if I take the legislative competence one first, I understand there's some confusion going on here—it's getting quite frequent, unfortunately. So, I understand the UK…
25 Medi 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, indeed, I'm very satisfied that the Bill's within the legislative competence of the Senedd, subject to Minister of the Crown consents being received. The Llywydd has also indicated that she is happy that it's within competence. We've considered what will…

Wel, yn wir, Llyr. Yn anffodus, rwy'n cytuno â hynny. Gwyddom fod gennym lawer o gwmnïau yng Nghymru sy'n paratoi ar gyfer y chwyldro pympiau gwres ffynhonnell aer a phympiau gwres o'r ddaear. Bydd hyn wedi creu anhrefn llwyr iddynt hwy. Ni fyddant yn gwybod…

Diolch, Joyce. Yn anffodus, y peth gwaethaf y gallwch chi ei wneud i fusnes yw troi a throelli a newid cyfeiriad fel hyn. Pan ddiddymodd y Ceidwadwyr y tariffau cyflenwi trydan, er enghraifft, fe wyddom eu bod wedi lladd y diwydiant paneli solar a oedd yn…
