Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - tystiolaeth gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd: rhan 1
So, a duty to consider whether a target needs to be set for something is probably a more practical way of looking at what we're doing, and that's why we ended up with a single-use plastics Bill—for exactly the same reason.

Yes. I'm not averse to having a look at the balance between powers and duties, but I think you have to sort of see it in the full landscape. So, what we're doing in this Bill is we're putting a duty on us to look at targets for PM2.5. PM2.5—I'm no technical…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - tystiolaeth gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd: rhan 1
So, it's not—. As I say, it's not intended to be an all-encompassing Bill; it's intended to give us duties and powers to do particular things in the clean air air quality space—the soundscape space as well, of course, which is new—and it sits inside a whole…

Bil yr Amgylchedd (Ansawdd Aer a Seinweddau) (Cymru) - tystiolaeth gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd: rhan 1
Yes. But, it's very important, I think, to understand that the Bill is not intended to be a be-all and end-all for everything to do with clean air. This is part of a suite of measures that we have in place, and it fills in a particular slot in that suite of…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'll ask my officials to introduce themselves. I'm Julie James. I'm the Minister for Climate Change with responsibility for taking this Bill through the Senedd.

Dadl ar Adroddiad y Pwyllgor Llywodraeth Leol a Thai—Digartrefedd
Bydd Aelodau'r Senedd yn ymwybodol iawn o uchelgais Llywodraeth Cymru i helpu i roi diwedd ar ddigartrefedd ledled Cymru drwy ei wneud yn rhywbeth prin, tymor byr, nad yw'n cael ei ailadrodd. Mae'n gwbl hanfodol fod gennym ddealltwriaeth gyffredin, nid yn…

Dadl ar Gynnig Deddfwriaethol gan Aelod—Diogelwch adeiladau uchel
Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i weithio gyda datblygwyr i sicrhau bod diffygion diogelwch tân yn cael eu cyweirio a'u bod yn talu am y gwaith. I’r perwyl hwn, ysgrifennais at dros 50 o ddatblygwyr preswyl mwyaf y DU i ofyn iddynt gadarnhau eu sefyllfa yng Nghymru. Mae'r…

And so, again, we'd have the same problem. If you put too precise a definition on the face of the Bill, only to find that it's changed in the next four years, because this is definitely a moveable feast here, then we would have a real problem. Whereas, if…

As I said, this isn't a stand-alone Bill; it has to be read in conjunction with other things. 'Soundscape' is formally defined in 'Planning Policy Wales', and there's been a recent consultation draft of technical advice note 11, which I'm sure the committee…
