Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 3
Great, diolch. Just on the explanatory memorandum, the Bill says that the food systems would be based on sustainable management of natural resources principles. Does the panel or anyone on the panel think that this should be on the face of the Bill?

Thank you. Thank you for that. Just to touch or come back to the agri Bill for a second, Dylan, do you think that the Bill fits in with the agri Bill?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. If I can stick with the thread around targets, in our last evidence session, timescales was a point of conversation. Obviously, the regulations setting the targets need to be made within two years of the Bill coming into force—so, three…

Chair, looking at the clock, unless Simon wants to come in on anything additional, I'll hand back to you.

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
So, in terms of that overarching vision, then, and that consolidation of resources, who should be responsible for that, not just in the local food plans but, as well, with the national food strategy? Should it be Ministers, as is drafted in the Bill already…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Katie, we touched on resources just there, and I think you identified a number of other barriers as well in your last contribution—silo working being another barrier to consider. I don't know if Terry or Simon want to add anything…

So, you wouldn't see any merit in potentially amending the Bill to require public bodies to consult, then?
19 Ionawr 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. And in terms of public bodies' role in this—we touched on this earlier in terms of it being worded that they may be consulted—I just would like to get a better understanding as to why, again. Is it a matter of flexibility? Because there were a number of…

So, have you managed to consider any of the suggested alternatives—one from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, for example, that the food commission practically provides the framework for people to work to?

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thinking about timelines, then, if we focus a bit more on the local food plans. How might the future generations commissioner handle, potentially, the process of consulting 22 local authorities, with all those plans coming in at one time? Do we feel that the…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
So, does it align, then, with other relevant plans?
19 Ionawr 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
So, I imagine that it's the same rationale, then—. Because we have touched on the five years in terms of reviewing targets, because there were some concerns raised with the national food strategy and local food plans, especially given recent events. But I…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Brilliant. Thank you. There were also stakeholders who wanted to see annual reporting on the national food strategy. How did you decide on the two-yearly reporting duties?

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
—similar to what you were saying earlier about ensuring that the Welsh Government had some flexibility in—.

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
So, it's more for practicality reasons—

Diolch, Cadeirydd. If I could start on the national food strategy, several commentators on the draft Bill said that there should be greater consultation and collaboration requirements for Ministers when developing a national food strategy. However, the Bill…

Felly, ydy'r Gweinidog yn hyderus bod Pen-y-bont yn symud yn ddigon cyflym i gyrraedd ei darged yn y WESP? Dwi'n gwybod bod y Gweinidog yn ymwybodol o'r sefyllfa ym Mhen-y-bont, a dwi'n gwybod ei fod e'n cael trafodaethau di-rif gyda'r cyngor, ond fel nifer…

Rwyf am ddechrau drwy gytuno â'r Llywodraeth: mae'n warthus y byddai'n well gan Lywodraeth y DU ymosod ar hawliau gweithwyr nag ymdrin yn effeithiol â'r caledi economaidd y mae'r gweithwyr hynny yn ei wynebu. Os caf i ddechrau gydag un elfen o'r caledi, sef…
