Ymchwiliad Banc Datblygu Cymru: Panel 2 – Safbwynt busnesau yng Nghymru
Okay. When we've purposely previously taken evidence from Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, he talked about a complaints procedure or concerns around the involvement of the development bank in businesses. Do you think that, or do you have any views on how…

Sticking with the task and finish group, a suggestion from them was that the bank would develop its own 'innovative approach to provide solutions that directly address the needs of the SME sector.' Now, FSB focus predominantly in the SME sector, but do you…

So, from an FSB perspective, you're not confident that you could say that that, what the task and finish group said in 2015, has happened, has been closer? From FSB's perspective, you can't see evidence of a closer working relationship with the private sector.

Thank you very much, Chair. Moving on to the relationship with the private sector, obviously we've heard evidence previously in annual scrutiny sessions with the Development Bank of Wales, but in 2015 the Welsh Government's task and finish group report…

Just quickly—I’m conscious of time, so as succinctly as possible, if that’s okay—the current contract length is two years, and the planned successor is a two-year contract as well. Is two years the right amount of time?

Hywel, you’ve mentioned Farming Connect being the envy of Scottish and English farmers, yet at the same time you mentioned it hasn’t really been targeted towards nature-friendly farming. Has that been a bit of gap in its provision over the last couple of…

Ymchwiliad: Cyswllt Ffermio: Panel 2 – Rhanddeiliaid
That’s helpful. I want to come back to a point that Hywel mentioned, and Arfon mentioned separately, in terms of what Farming Connect is delivering, and whether the advice that’s been given is sufficient for that transition away from common agricultural…

Is it the role of Farming Connect to do the R&D side of it, or is that where you think—? I'm thinking of the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences in Aberystwyth as an example of R&D. Is that Farming Connect's role, or is that just a…

Just one final point, then. This current SFS consultation has two mentions of Farming Connect; the previous had about 40. What’s changed that? Because it was quite noticeable how often Farming Connect was mentioned in the previous consultation; now it’s not…
