Social housing supply: Evidence session 6
Okay. So, my second question is: to what extent are statutory consultees causing delays? So, we talked earlier about scarcity of planning officers and ecologists et cetera. I know there's some scarcity, but is there another issue there, do you think—

Social housing supply: Evidence session 6

I would like to begin my contribution by placing on the record my acknowledgement that my position on nuclear differs from the rest of my party, but I feel it's important to speak on the issue and for a variety of perspectives to be heard. The people of Ynys…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
Thank you for your response. The amount of capital borrowing devolved was last increased in 2019, which is a long time ago. Public services such as health, housing, education and public transport are the building blocks of our economy, and there is no way to…
