The Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill: evidence session
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Dylwn i, ar y dechrau, ddatgan rhyw fath o—. Dwi ddim yn siŵr a ydyw e'n fuddiant, ond dwi jest yn nodi fy ymwneud i â'r cytundeb cydweithio, ac fe gawsom ni rai trafodaethau, dwi'n cofio, ynglŷn â'r Papur Gwyn, er wnes i ddim gweld drafft…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
Okay.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
But it's somewhat relevant, isn't it? If you're introducing these new powers and offences, then it's important for us to know, as a Senedd, who will be making those decisions, whether it'll be Wales or Westminster, in relation to all companies that have water…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
I think Natasha Asghar will want to go into more detail on that, but one final question. You mentioned that you still believe in devolving powers over water in Wales. Have you taken, or do you intend to now take, action on the clause following the Wales Act…
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
Yes. And with the subordinate legislation, how much scope will we as a Senedd have to choose the elements in the Bill that will be implemented in Wales? How broad will our powers be on that secondary level?

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
And what consultation have you done outside of the Senedd with other stakeholders and the public in Wales in order to get their ideas for amendments to the Bill?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
What role or ability do we as Members of the Senedd have to offer amendments that you can then introduce on behalf of the Senedd to the Westminster Government?

What changes have you asked for, or have you been successful in getting already in the Bill, as far as Wales is in question?

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Nid pwyllgor polisi mohonom, so dwi eisiau parchu hynny, ond jest yn gyffredinol, a fyddai e’n wir i ddweud mai'r dynesiad polisi yn y maes yma yng Nghymru, mor belled ag y mae dylanwadu ar y maes dan sylw, sydd wedi bod yn fwy anogol a…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Water (Special Measures) Bill: evidence session
Yes, just on that point, that's only because of the policy as it's been done—the regulatory powers are devolved. You could, therefore, get rid of Ofwat tomorrow and create a Welsh regulatory body, such as the one in Scotland. You could get rid of the Drinking…

Dyw Llywodraeth Cymru byth wedi—. Hynny yw, o fewn y tîm penodiadau cyhoeddus, dŷch chi ddim erioed wedi gweld unrhyw gyngor gan eich tîm cyfreithiol neu'r tîm polisi ar hyn? Hynny yw, does yna ddim unrhyw drafodaeth wedi bod ynglŷn â chreu system Gymreig…

Jest un cwestiwn sydd gen i i gloi, byddwch chi'n falch o glywed, Gadeirydd. Ydych chi'n gallu cadarnhau a oes gan y Senedd—? Wel, ym marn Llywodraeth Cymru, oes gan y Senedd gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol i greu deddfwriaeth gynradd i sefydlu trefn Gymreig o…

Jest un peth yn olaf, sori. A ydy'r data dŷch chi'n ei gasglu yn cynnwys penodiadau rheoleiddiedig, y rhai sydd ddim wedi eu rheoleiddio a'r trydydd categori o benodiadau sydd ddim o dan unrhyw fath o weithdrefn o gwbl? A ydych chi'n ei gasglu fe ar draws pob…

Diolch. Mae yn gwestiwn eithaf pwysig, achos mae'r gwahaniaeth yn eithaf syfrdanol, a dweud y gwir.

And in looking at the linguistic element, the information that you published in your paper with regard to the Welsh language skills of people who have applied and who have been appointed during the year, in the year that you mentioned, between July 2023 and…

Okay. So, in your previous correspondence in terms of collecting data, you referred to the pilot surveys of public boards, and I don't think that the findings of those pilot surveys have been published. Perhaps you can answer that in a moment. But, in your…

, Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Public Appointments: evidence session with Welsh Government
Okay. And finally, then—you've already mentioned this broadly—the final step was to consult on targets in this area in terms of the different groups, and how they're reflected in appointments, and to set targets then if a Minister decides to do so. You've…

But does that report focus on this work in public appointments, and does it provide data? Are you commissioning work in order to assess that progress?
, Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Public Appointments: evidence session with Welsh Government
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about a plan for evaluating across the whole strategy. I think this action point is to do with commissioning an assessment, at least on an annual basis, against progress, and then publishing that assessment. That hasn't…
, Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee

The fourth action point was to do with commissioning the evaluation and monitoring work, on the basis of the quantitative and qualitative data, with regard to progress against the different elements, and to introduce an annual report on that basis. Am I right…
