Just talking broadly on your first point around the barriers that people face currently with manual registration, can you describe how you think they look and feel for people—what those barriers actually are?

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 2
All right. Thank you.

And perhaps, before I come on to a broader point, to support people with disabilities, aside from the timescale and the communication or consultation, are there any particular features that you think you'd want to see to ensure that people with disabilities…

Thanks, Chair. Good morning, everybody. We really appreciate you coming in this morning. I just want to touch on the proposals within the Bill for electoral registration without application or auto-enrolment—whatever sort of language you want to use—and just…

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Okay. I think that's a useful analogy to use, and helpful to get the context right in what the Bill may or may not be able to achieve. And believe it or not, I'm not necessarily against the automatic registration, I'm just trying to play devil's advocate a…

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Yes. Thanks, Chairman. Just reflecting a bit further on some systems that are attempting to be put in place with the Bill, which are seeking to make it more likely for people to engage with our elections here in Wales, I was wondering whether you think…

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Okay. And then finally, just on the all-Wales database, I think that's something that you called for within your written response that is not included within the Bill. Could you just outline, perhaps, some of your thoughts on the risks associated with not…

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Thank you. There were a number of quite sweeping statements, I guess, in your response there, I think, in talking about young people being frustrated. It doesn't seem to evidence itself in young people's voter turnout for Senedd elections—I think, if I…

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Thank you. I could go further on that, I'm just conscious of time, but thank you for those responses first of all. I think, in your written evidence that you sent through to us, you have raised some concerns about possible voter confusion with different…

Thanks. Can I just understand the barriers that you mentioned there? So, the family support side, I can understand if there perhaps is not somebody to guide children perhaps through the process; has your research shown what those other barriers may currently…

Y Bil Etholiadau a Chyrff Etholedig (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Lovely. Thank you for that. So then, just coming on to the proposal within the Bill for electoral registration without application, perhaps you could outline your initial thoughts on that and, in particular, how younger people may engage more easily…

Yes, thanks, Mr Chairman, and good morning, Dr Huebner. I want to come on to ask questions about your thoughts around electoral registration without application, but perhaps before I come on to that, I just want to come back to your previous point. Just more…

Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol: Sicrhau Treth Gyngor Decach
Diolch, Gweinidog, am eich datganiad chi yn y fan hon heddiw, ac am hwyluso'r sesiwn friffio technegol ddoe hefyd, ac fe wn i fod nifer o gyd-Aelodau wedi gwerthfawrogi hynny'n sicr. Rwy'n awyddus i ddod at y pwynt ehangach, i ddechrau'r cyfraniad, ynglŷn â…

Just briefly, to expand on that point. So, with my previous hat, I was a credit risk manager for a bank. I know that banks have shifted quite significantly in terms of the way they work with and support customers in the last decade or so. But I wonder: is…

Yes. Thanks, Chair. I'm sorry to go on, but, on the Help to Stay announcement, which was made—. I think it was just this week, wasn't it? I was just wondering, perhaps the Minister could talk to the scheme more broadly, but then specifically perhaps on the…

I think we certainly would support that, whilst pushing the urgency to get or allow these houses to be built, and it's positive to hear you say there's around 1,000 that seem to be unlocked up in the north Wales region. I just wonder if there's a simple…

Great. Thank you for that. And then just touching on the point you made in terms of phosphates—and it is good to hear there is, again, progress being made there—I believe there may be another summit coming together. I wondered if you wanted to speak to that…

Yes. And the number you quoted, the 5,575, that's affordable housing more broadly, isn't it?

Sesiwn i graffu ar waith y Gweinidog: y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Thanks, Minister. It is good to hear that you're still striving towards that 20,000. It just struck me in your response that there's perhaps the risk of conflating a very specific target around the low-carbon social homes for rent versus affordable homes more…
