If I could press you on those two points. You mentioned, first of all, on the latter point about acquiring private land—the guidance, as I understand it, has been extended to allow the grant to be used to purchase private land in exceptional circumstances…

—as we want to do. So, you think that there should be more flexible criteria, essentially, for the way that the grant is administered? Okay. Thank you.

So, just to be clear, we're not the Welsh Government, we're the Senedd and we scrutinise the Welsh Government, but we can make recommendations to the Welsh Government—

Thanks. Just to continue on the theme, really, I want to ask specifically about the Gypsy/Traveller sites capital grant and how you find this operationally. It seems to me to be quite a muddled set of guidance and criteria, and I just wonder, in terms of the…

Sure. Okay. But that's an area you think, a practical way—. You think it would be helpful if we were to think about recommendations in that area.

Do you have a sense of how many local authorities do that?

On the point about the difficulty in disposing of rubbish and recycling, do you have any practical suggestions of how that can be addressed?

Darparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: Dilynol—Sesiwn dysiolaeth 1
It does, and I completely understand your point on the rights. In terms of the responsibilities of Gypsy/Traveller communities to their neighbours, there is often a perception from residents about anti-social behaviour. How do you think that that's best…

Okay, thank you. Can I ask you a more general question about just the relationship with communities, because as you said earlier, many Gypsies and Travellers feel very stressed about the reception they receive in areas they move to? Obviously, from a local…

No, that's absolutely fine. Do you have any general thoughts on the way that local authorities are able to use funds to support the development of sites?

Yes, so, certainly there have been years where there has been significant underspend, and as you rightly said, one year, there was no spend at all, but that has improved. So, it does seem to be a situation that's getting better, but I was just wanting to…

Thanks. I'd like to understand the Gypsy and Traveller sites capital grant a bit better. It seems quite muddled to me. I wonder if you could just give me your general view on the grant and the way it's used, and the guidance and criteria around it.

As I understand it, you say in your evidence that by having a non-tendered institute, the current services that you and other organisations offer will potentially be centralised, and that could have an adverse effect.

Just a brief question about the evidence paper on the position of the institute. I noticed some anxiety that the new non-tendered model could disrupt the ecosystem of various organisations playing a role in provision. If you could just elaborate a bit more on…

Yes, I think that's a very interesting response, because that loaded, value-laden language lands very badly with some communities. You may not want them to respond in that way, but all the evidence of human behaviour is that a minority do, and it only takes a…

Yes, please. I just wanted to test some of the unintended consequences of this, because I understand the desire to not have exemptions. There is a danger we've made the perfect the enemy of the good here, and there's also a danger we're creating local social…

I guess the question is, though: does that need statutory provision? Does that need to be explicitly in the Bill, or can that be developed in a framework outside of the Bill or indeed does there need to be framework powers in Bill that can allow that to…
