Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Yes, okay. Well, I'm sure we have a view on that as a committee as well, which I'm sure will be expressed. There we are. Diolch yn fawr. Okay, any further questions to the Minister, because I think we've exhausted the list of questions that we were hoping to…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Yes. Okay, okay. Thank you. The RIA also says that there’ll be 'significant benefits' over and above what can be quantified financially, because of the more streamlined and unified consenting process. So, can you set out maybe what these significant benefits…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thank you. I just wanted to ask a couple of things about costings. The regulatory impact assessment outlines—. Well, it doesn't, actually. It doesn't quantify the cost to communities. Now, I understand, obviously, that communities differ and projects will…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Huw. [Interruption.] Sorry. Huw, just on this.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thank you. You touched, again, on compulsory purchase and I know, Minister, you offered earlier on maybe that you could provide a little note—or maybe a long note—for us on that. We would appreciate that, I think, given that it is something that does come up…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Yes, I know. Okay, fine. Thank you.
6 Gorffennaf 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
But you don't think that that would be an issue at this end of the scale.
6 Gorffennaf 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Yes, and that's the one that's been quoted to me.
6 Gorffennaf 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
I know, I know. Yes. But there is a possibility that people might intentionally come below in order to keep it—.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Do you mind if I just ask one brief question there? Have you done any work looking at the likelihood of maybe projects—? Energy developers outline their plans, and they come to talk to Members of the Senedd and other people about what they are hoping to…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Iawn, croeso nôl i'r pwyllgor. Rydyn ni'n parhau gyda'r sesiwn gyntaf o graffu'r Gweinidog ar Gyfnod 1 y Bil Seilwaith (Cymru). Felly, gwnaiff Jenny gychwyn ail ran y cyfarfod.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
And that comes back to the engagement and hearing—[Inaudible.]—early enough in order to decide which process is the most appropriate, really.
6 Gorffennaf 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Sure, okay. The Bill also provides flexibility for the examining authority to choose the appropriate procedure: for examining an application, it could be an open inquiry, it could be a hearing or in writing. Can you set out your thinking behind that…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) – Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Just a couple of questions before we take a break. All this has got to be done in 52 weeks now, or that's what being proposed in terms of the time frame for a decision. How did you arrive at the very rounded figure of 52 weeks? What's the science behind that…
