Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's not my question. So, my question, and I'll say it again, is: was there a better way that you could have set this out for this committee today, in terms of the information that we've been provided with, in order to be able to do that important function?

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, and, as you've talked about comparison, we spend a lot of our time talking about these issues around transparency, don't we, and in terms of simplicity and accessibility. If we go through to paragraph 2.2, pack page 130 to 131, there's a lot of issues…

Okay. In terms of your baseline, you've excluded two items. I don't understand why.

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much, Chair. That was actually quite interesting. Just a couple of quick questions before I go on to my questions in my brief. So, I'm really just seeking further clarity—and I've kept this question, Chair—in regard to the increase, because…

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. I have another question, but I'll pick it up under mine.

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Can you just clarify again, in terms of the just over £1 million, the difference that this is going to make in terms of the documents that we've got in front of us? I'm sorry, I didn't catch the last portion of what you said. I'm just struggling to…

Because what you don't want is that it's unaffordable and such a take-up that there's no delivery. That's what I'm getting at.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I suppose my question, really, is affordability of the scheme. If there is mass take-up, and that's what we want, and those are the aims and objectives, how efficient, then, is the ability of the proposed scheme under the current constrictions to be able to…

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, what if it is more, and what if it is maximum in terms of the ability of our constricted purse around this and, obviously, the uncertainty, which we've already gone into in depth? I'm asking you to look in the crystal ball.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Picking up on that: in terms of that you mentioned 24,000, including smallholdings, is there an anticipated take-up around this, either to the higher end or obviously the very worrying thing, which I doubt—although you never know in terms of the usability of…

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
No, that's fine.

Okay, thank you.

Yes. But it is anticipated.

That would be great, thank you.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. So, you stated that the provisions in the Bill would impact on agricultural tenancies by increasing the total number, unfortunately, of disputes that would arise. Is there a reason why that cost has not been quantified, and who would bear those…

Okay. Shall I move on to question 9 then?

It might be useful for that list to come to us rather than go through all that.

Okay. So, there's no shortage of—

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, thank you. And if I might just ask, in terms of monitoring the costs associated with that, after implementation, how will you do that?
9 Tachwedd 2022 , Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Obviously, we have our normal procedures. Yes, okay. Thanks.
9 Tachwedd 2022 , Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And in terms of scrutiny, in terms of how we will then be able to do that, what recourse do we have?
9 Tachwedd 2022 , Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. The RIA mentions that the economic impact on the sector will be assessed as part of the design of any future scheme. How will the assessment be undertaken and, again, back to scrutiny, what recourse will the Senedd have in terms of that scrutiny of the…

Chair, I'm glad that you mentioned that particular theme with regard to the modelling of unexpected 'unexpecteds'. So, that would be really useful. We know that these things happen regularly in the sector. I'd presume that there would obviously be that…
