Grŵp 14: Adroddiadau blynyddol (Gwelliannau 83, 7)
Diolch yn fawr. Thank you very much. In line with what I've said previously, this is a follow-on from the previous group of amendments, and it boils down to what gets measured gets done. So, by adding the focus and reporting lines in, the Minister will make…

Grŵp 13: Strategaethau caffael (Gwelliannau 79, 110, 80, 81, 71, 82)
Thank you, Minister. I understand where you're coming from, and I do think that it goes to the heart of being able to say what gets measured gets done and having things specific in legislation to say that it puts the focus on authorities to keep these things…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. For anyone following Welsh politics for the last decade or so, it will come as no surprise that I will be bringing forward amendments at this point in proceedings. What I'm about to say can apply equally to groups 13 through to 16. Public…

Grŵp 11: Y cod allanoli a’r gweithlu (Gwelliannau 5, 68, 6)
Just to say that I agree with the Minister and I'm happy to support the amendments, but I think that there might be a way of going a little bit stronger on it, and I'd urge her to look into that for Stage 3 and to see if it could go a little bit further than…

The final amendment of ours in this grouping will give Ministers the power in the future to amend the table in section 27 via regulations. It would only allow Ministers to add categories, not to remove them, and would be subject to the affirmative resolution…

Felly, hefyd, o ran y Gymraeg, fel y soniais, bydd gwelliant 77 yn ychwanegu Cymraeg fel categori at y tabl. Mae eisoes yn bolisi'r Llywodraeth i gynyddu nifer y gofodau Cymraeg, gan gynnwys gweithleoedd, ar draws y wlad. Byddai ychwanegu'r Gymraeg, felly…

Amendment 76 is crucial to make sure the Bill and the model clause, as Welsh Ministers will be obliged to publish under this section, set the gold standard in ensuring that new jobs and investment flowing from major construction contracts benefit groups and…

O ran yr ail welliant, mae'n taro rhywun bod y Gymraeg yn absennol o'r tabl yma, ac mae'n allweddol ei bod yn cael ei phriod le ochr yn ochr â blaenoriaethau eraill sydd wedi eu nodi yn y tabl o gategorïau yr ydym yn dymuno eu huchafu a'u datblygu o fewn…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'll speak to the first of several amendments in this key area of the Bill, in Part 2. We've submitted three amendments to section 27 of the Bill, pertaining to social public works clauses in major construction contracts. For the first, in…

Diolch, Chair. Our amendment 75 aims to strengthen section 24 of the Bill by making it clear that the public bodies have a global responsibility as well as a responsibility to their own local area. A number of organisations have been calling for the inclusion…

Finally, you mentioned The Lord of the Rings earlier; the smallest people or the smallest things can sometimes have the biggest impact. In this budget, is there something small that's going to have a big impact?

Okay. I've got two questions—I'm just looking at the time—if you're okay for two more minutes. The Institute for Fiscal Studies told us that it would be worthwhile doing more analysis of what can be done to improve the efficiency of the NHS, and in particular…

Just finally, a couple of questions from me. We heard earlier, and we've heard from yourselves that you've got your priority areas, and you've outlined the priority areas. And we heard in evidence that, if everything's a priority, nothing's a priority, and…
