I think that it's not all or nothing, is it? You can reduce the training budget rather than slash the training budget. I think we do need this discussion amongst Members of virtual versus visits. I know there are friends of ours who are very keen on…

You don't have to convince me of the importance of buying the building. I've said that for the last 11 years, 12 years, without getting very far. I'll just say it again for the record that it's always better to own than to lease.

If the windows all had to be replaced and we walked away—. If the windows had to be replaced, it wouldn't fall on us—you would be negotiating with them how much of that fell to us.

Generally, let's take windows as an example. If the windows need replacing, are you and ultimately we responsible for replacing them, or is it a landlord's responsibility? I'm trying to get to, not very well, but I'm trying to get to the split between…

Talking about the lease, is it full repairing lease, or a partial repairing lease?

I speak from experience in local government where, at one time, we had over 250 key performance indicators, and I don't think you can have that number of key performance indicators. Are there any performance indicators under the key performance indicators…

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Craffu ar Gyfrifon Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24
Yes, I'll take them forward, Chair. Please be careful—I may run out of voice. How do the key performance indicators drive the delivery of Commission objectives, and how effective are they in assessing the Commission's performance in delivering them?

Okay. I won't take it any further today. I'll save that up for tomorrow. Are you revising the timing of capital projects that form part of your mid-term carbon reduction strategy, and how will this impact on reaching your goals?

You've got to be disciplined about the year end financially, but the year end is an arbitrary date that bears no relationship to when projects are needed, does it? It stops in April, whenever, whether it's 1 April, 6 April. The project has to be done by this…

Did you drift any projects across year ends? That's always the trick that people do with projects, isn't it, that instead of finishing on a date within that year, you drift it so it goes into the following you. Did you do any of those?

I may stop part of the way through. Given the reduction in funding, can you summarise how in-year project fund costs were managed and how do you prioritise projects?

Can I just say, without going into cases, it doesn't work, because I know at least one former Minister who feels really aggrieved by the action of certain civil servants. I won't go any further than that, but that's just for your information. Okay. Thank you…
