Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol Cyllidol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
And you talked about the rotating chair—not as in spinning around—but changing the chair of the FISC. You've chaired one of those sessions—what was your experience of doing that and, then, the experiences of the Scottish Government and the Treasury being able…

You talked about the Heads of Devolved Governments Council. What does the engagement that you've had with the Westminster Government on that, or is that not really functioning that well, or not meeting that regularly—? Is it beholden on the Prime Minister to…

Croeso cynnes—a warm welcome. We've got a lot of questions, but we're very grateful to you for the written evidence that you've already provided. It's been very, very useful. If we don't happen to get through all the questions that we have, we may write to…

Papurau i'w nodi
On the papers to note, we'll note the letter that we've had, and we've had another letter as well. That was a late paper, but we'll note that on the record next time. The two letters are about petitions. I'd like to write back to the Petitions Committee to…

Mi wnawn ni symud ymlaen, felly, at y papurau i'w nodi. Mae gennym ni un papur i'w nodi ac mae yna un llythyr hwyr wedi dod i mewn, ond mi fyddwn ni'n nodi hwnnw y tro nesaf.

Croeso cynnes i'r cyfarfod yma o'r Pwyllgor Cyllid. Mae gennym ni un ymddiheuriad i gychwyn—mae Rhianon Passmore yn rhedeg ychydig yn hwyr, ond mi fydd hi'n ymuno hefo ni mewn ychydig. Felly, fel arall, mae pawb yma ac mae'n dda eich gweld chi y bore yma…

That will be the new by-election process, effectively. Just finally, then, from me, if you decided—. We're going with the Jane Dodds example at the moment, but if you decided halfway through that petition and that process, and you thought, 'Actually, no, I'm…

That's fine. And talking a little bit about the system that we will have and the closed lists, and we are of the same mind that we'd prefer an STV system, but we are where we are with that, should the by-election bit be—? Basically, the petition would be—. As…

And was it 'yes' and 'no' for that, or was it just the one vote to say, 'Yes, recall'?

So, you wouldn't have known that you'd got to 19 per cent earlier.

Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Okay. And, just looking at—. You said, again, that 10 per cent was the threshold to call a by-election in Brecon and Radnorshire, but you got to 19 per cent, should they have stopped after 10?

And, from your experience in Brecon and Radnorshire, when the process was happening there, you talked earlier about six weeks being a very long time, finding that balance—you seemed to indicate that it should be a shorter period of time. Given your last…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Just stepping back slightly to the question before last around custodial sentences, what if somebody was protesting and it was on a matter of conscience, not paying a fine or something? We've seen lots of examples of that. Would you still…

A final question from me, Chair, if that's okay. The way that it's drafted currently allows for the Member, once they're aware that it is a false statement or the fact has been proved to be wrong, to be able to put the record straight within 14 days. So, that…

Good morning, and thank you very much for your time this morning. In your deliberations there and in coming to some of your conclusions, obviously, you've read the drafting. Have you drawn on any international comparators or anywhere where this has been used…

But it allows for those regional voices to come through, because you need that regional voice of that regional party, I suppose, to be able to hold that coalition together.

But in places like Italy, you've got multiparty, rather than, in Westminster, it is red and blue and a few of the others, so it tends to be much more of an adversarial two-party state, rather than a—. When we were talking about America, then it certainly is a…
