Okay, thank you for that response. Do people know how to contact you if they want to have that relationship, to build up relations abroad as well, for exports? How would they feed into you—through the Federation of Small Businesses, or other business channels…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. The Tory UK Government are investing just under £100 billion in HS2 rail infrastructure. If the Barnett formula were to be applied, Wales should be entitled to the population share of 5 per cent, which is £5 billion. Scotland will receive £10 billion…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Public transport in rural areas
As a Flintshire county councillor representing a rural ward, I know all too well just how important public transport is for communities like mine. Rural bus routes are rarely money makers, but they are a lifeline for many. Whilst highly populated areas tend…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
I also mentioned this earlier, I think, in the questions, as a supplementary to Gareth Davies's one. Our highway infrastructure, including the drainage system of ditches, culverts and gullies, was built many years ago and is struggling to cope with the volume…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 3—local government
Yes, we have, actually. It's amazing how much has been touched upon already, which is how important it is. So, there is concern about whether or not local planning authorities have the resources to manage the register and licensing of holiday accommodation…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: Evidence session 3 - Minister for Climate Change
Okay, thanks. So, this is back to decarbonisation and housing standards. So, just really, how does the new budget allocation prioritise decarbonisation across all housing tenures and the aspiration for Wales to be net zero by 2050?

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: Evidence session 3 - Minister for Climate Change
We've, unfortunately, seen the number of people presenting as homeless increasing as well. So, given we're seeing over 1,000 homelessness presentations to local authorities each month, how does the draft budget address this demand?
