Thanks, Chair. Just on a point you mentioned earlier, Fergus, in relation to the quality of the estate, as it were, whether it's swimming pools, or whether it's perhaps leisure more broadly, do you think we've missed a trick in terms of twenty-first century…

—I was going to ask a bit more around the Welsh public library standards framework, and, Richard, you helpfully touched on it a few moments ago. I noted your point around the lack of, perhaps, a national strategy at the moment around libraries. But I'm just…

Yes, perhaps one quick point, and you're right, Chair—

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Ariannu llywodraeth leol
Fel yr amlinellwyd gennych, natur y modd y caiff y dreth gyngor ei chodi ar hyn o bryd—a ydych chi'n awgrymu, felly, y dylai fod treth gyfrannol uniongyrchol ar eiddo yng Nghymru?

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Ariannu llywodraeth leol
Mae hyn yn dangos yn glir iawn fod penderfyniadau sy'n cael eu gwneud gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn cael effaith fawr ar gyllid awdurdodau lleol Cymru, gyda Llywodraeth Cymru'n darparu ysgogiadau cyllid mawr i awdurdodau lleol er mwyn iddynt allu darparu eu…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Ariannu llywodraeth leol
Diolch eto, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn o agor y ddadl hon heddiw ar gyllid llywodraeth leol. Fel y mae ein cynnig yn nodi yma heddiw, rydym yn argymell bod y Senedd, yn gyntaf oll, yn nodi bod gan awdurdodau lleol £2.75 biliwn amcangyfrifedig mewn…

Dadl ar Gynnig Deddfwriaethol gan Aelod: Bil twristiaeth Cymru
Rwy'n falch iawn o allu siarad i gefnogi cynnig rhagorol Tom Giffard i greu Bil twristiaeth Cymru, ac fel yr amlinellwyd yma eisoes heddiw, byddai'r Bil yn creu bwrdd twristiaeth newydd i Gymru, gan rymuso busnesau ein sector twristiaeth ar yr un pryd â…

Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Weinidog, rwy’n siŵr y byddech yn cytuno mai’r ffordd orau, ac o bosibl, y ffordd fwyaf cynaliadwy o helpu i godi pobl allan o dlodi yw sicrhau bod swyddi o ansawdd da a busnesau yn ffynnu ar Ynys Môn i gefnogi’r swyddi hynny. A dyna pam fy mod mor falch o…

Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a'r Trefnydd: Y Rhaglen Ddiwygiedig ar gyfer Dileu TB
Gweinidog, diolch am y diweddariad hwn heddiw ar raglen dileu TB. Fel y gwyddoch chi, Gweinidog, mae'r gogledd yn rhanbarth mor bwysig i'r diwydiant amaethyddol ac i deuluoedd amaethyddol, sy'n chwarae rôl mor bwysig, yn ein heconomi leol ond yn ehangach wrth…

Datganiad gan Weinidog yr Economi: Rhaglen Porthladdoedd Rhydd Cymru
Diolch i chi, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch hefyd, Gweinidog, am eich datganiad chi heddiw, ac rwy'n ymuno â chi, yn sicr, i groesawu'r newyddion bod Llywodraeth y DU yn bwriadu sefydlu'r ddau borthladd rhydd yng Nghymru, ac yn ymuno ag Aelod Ynys Môn hefyd i…

Thank you.

Yes, thank you for those responses, and I appreciate the analogy towards the end there as well, Koldo. It helps simple people like me to understand how the frameworks all fit together. I think, Simon, you mentioned earlier, in the contributions around due…

Thank you, Chairman, and thank you, gents, for joining committee this afternoon. I'm just interested to understand how a legal right to adequate housing might interact with existing domestic law or domestic rights that are in place in relation to housing and…

I'm really sorry, Chair, and Carolyn—I'm sorry to jump in here. I appreciate what you shared there. I think, if I'm being upfront, at the moment what I'm really struggling with is there's great examples of things being placed in law, pieces of paper being…

And just to perhaps expand on that then, would that be the reason perhaps places like France still have over 300,000 people as being homeless? So, whilst they might be signed up to the charter, with that not being enforceable, it's not perhaps making the…

Yr Hawl i Gael Tai Digonol - sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Yes, thanks. It was actually just on the point previous, if you don't mind, Jessie, where the chairman asked about some of the practical differences of the right to adequate housing being incorporated, and you referenced I think it was article 31, and then…

Okay. That's fine. And perhaps a final quick point is around the financial benefits and challenges associated with the different delivery models. I would have thought one of those benefits for the charity-based model would be the ability to apply for certain…

Thank you for that, Owen. It makes sense and comes back to, I think, Jennifer's point earlier about when that relationship works well between those partner organisations, the external organisations can then link into it really well. That makes a lot of sense…

I think you've probably answered some of what my next questions and comments would have been, which were about that relationship between local authorities and those providers. And, Jennifer, you mentioned that the client-supplier relationship being a…

and ask Lyn to come back on this, because I'm genuinely really interested in the role of town and community councils in these types of services? Would you share, perhaps, my concern that—you mentioned the 1964, I believe, Act; yes, an Act—there's too much…

Thank you for those responses. Lyn, I heard you mention earlier the example in Newtown in terms of where a town or community council—a town council in Newtown's instance—is taking on and seeking to deliver some of those services. I'm really interested in that…
