I've listened carefully to what you've had to say. Couldn't you just delete the parts that don't apply to Wales and add those parts that you already mentioned that do apply to Wales in other documents, to actually produce a comprehensive Welsh document?

Yes, I do. I'm now unmuted. Has the Welsh Government considered developing a Cabinet manual for Wales?

Finally from me, we are well aware, because an American actress highlighted it, it's very easy to use AI to copy somebody's tone and method of speaking. That itself could be used against somebody when they had nothing to do with the event in question, but AI…

Please could you come back to us? Because it's a matter that still interests many of us, whether it's a leak or an authorised disclosure. The other point I was going to make was around the dangers we now have with using ICT and the ability to manipulate ICT…

So it isn't a leak if the First Minister releases it. I'm again going back to a previous event, which was a very sad event for many of us, but if it's authorised by the First Minister, it is not a leak.

It's nothing to do with the recent circumstances for me. I'm going back several years to the very sad events relating to Carl Sargeant, Jack Sargeant's father. Going back to those events, which are definitely history, unfortunately, the point I was trying to…

Can I go back a few years to a problem we did have when we had a leak inquiry? There's a difference, isn't there, between a briefing and a leak. Senior advisers and senior special advisers are able to brief the media, which doesn't count as a leak, even…

On that, surely the solution is to have transparency in how these decisions are being made and why HS2 is an England-and-Wales project. Rather than it just being a statement, an explanation of why and how they decided that it's 100 per cent England and…

It might not be a single version of the truth, but it can be an explanation of how you got there. We have no idea how HS2 became an England-and-Wales project. We've no idea when they made the decision not to continue it close to the Welsh border, how it…

And city deal money, which is also outside the Barnett formula. But they don't go through the Government, do they? The city deal and the money for levelling up go through local authorities, but the Northern Ireland Executive have had additional money that has…

Okay, thank you. The last question from me is that the Treasury can allocate funds across the UK from its central reserve without triggering Barnett consequentials. There's been concern in Wales the 2017 additional money for Northern Ireland, the 2023-24…

I'm not going ask you this, but I would argue that once the money is given to a devolved Government, then they've got the money, what they do with it should be very much up to them, rather than having to follow Treasury rules, when the Treasury seems to treat…

I think that what we find is they net it off, don't they, the plus, the minuses, and normally they end up on a plus. But if they ended up on a minus, it would only be in the tens of millions, rather than in the billions, and actually being able to plan to…

We're coming very close to time. I have two very brief questions; I'll put them together. I hope the answer to both is 'yes'. If you're looking at insourcing, are you then netting off the saving from managing contracts? And the second one is: will you ensure…

Mae’r mater hwn wedi ennyn y ddeiseb fwyaf erioed i'r Senedd yn ogystal â chryn drafod mewn cymunedau. Un o wendidau’r system ddeisebu yw na allwch newid eich meddwl ar ôl ichi lofnodi deiseb—neu ni allwch newid eich meddwl yn hawdd. A darganfu rhai o fy…
