Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd 2027-28: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
It is reflected in that annex 1 table, and you'll see that the difference is there, so you can see why those figures are there. I'll just bring Lisa in on that technical point.

In the order of about £4 million. That makes the difference.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd 2027-28: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Certainly. It's good to be here, and thank you very much, Chair, for the welcome. The staff salaries and costs for 2026-27, £34 million, and then the £37 million in 2027-28, 2027-28 includes the new baseline with Senedd reform added into it. The Senedd reform…

Craffu ar Gyfrifon - Comisiwn y Senedd 2025-26: sesiwn dystiolaeth
I think, just from a process point of view, if you were to give the money back into—. This is the thinking behind—. From memory, the Finance Committee would have thought that if the money goes back to the consolidated fund then there'd be a potential…

Craffu ar Gyfrifon - Comisiwn y Senedd 2025-26: sesiwn dystiolaeth
Just following on with the AI aspect, we need the governance to be right, and we need a governance first approach to AI, but there are opportunities as well. So, I think that goes hand in hand, but making sure that we're using it in the way that Manon was…

On that, I don’t know who is on that list currently, because, as you say, the process is ongoing, but, as a new Commissioner coming in, having independent advisers that have got expertise in the aspects that Manon talked about just now, as well as augmenting…

Eventually. But that was part of the distribution of who does what. And I think we've got to be mindful that we don't duplicate in other areas, so if you're delegating that element to other people to do—. But I think, even as candidates, as Senedd Members…

I think, going forward, one of the things, as Chair of the Finance Committee in the last Senedd, was setting and scrutinising the budget of the Electoral Commission and the Welsh element of that, and part of the scrutiny in doing and setting that budget was…

On that point—. It's great to be with you here today. It's the first time I'm doing this. I'm usually sat—. In the last Senedd, I was sat in a similar position to you, Andrew. But, yes, it was interesting to see some of this in action during the campaign, and…

And if I could ask for this committee to be kept informed of those discussions, because, obviously, it would be of interest to a lot of us around this table. Diolch.

We've heard from the new Prime Minister about some movement on looking at the relationship between the UK and the EU and opening or widening up the discussion as to what that future relationship looks like—whether or not that's single market or rejoining. All…

Yes. Some of the interplay with the common frameworks is around the deposit-return scheme and those aspects. So, could you give us an update as to where we're at with the regulations providing agreed exclusions around the deposit-return scheme and the…

I am a very polite person, but I was just following on from not drawing you into a slanging match, as you said earlier. But what recourse would we have if that transpired, and how do we avoid that in discussions?

Sesiwn i graffu ar waith y Gweinidog Y Gweinidog Cabinet dros Effeithiolrwydd Llywodraeth a'r Cyfansoddiad
Yes, just following on a little bit from that, in the Government of Wales Act 2006, I think—there are people here who can tell me otherwise—local government is a devolved subject, and therefore any further devolution to local government should come through…

Just briefly, maybe—and you might want to write to us with further details, if there are any, but—further areas of devolution. We know a lot of what they are in the Welsh Government's view: water, the Crown Estate, broadcasting, welfare, energy regulation…
