Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with BBC
I think during COVID, it was a revelation for people that decisions were being made in Wales differently, and that really highlighted it. I just want to ask if you can point to any material improvements in BBC performance for audiences in Wales that have been…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with BBC
Diolch. Good morning. Earlier, you mentioned relevance to people in Wales. I just want to go back to how you ensure that devolved issues are covered suitably in Wales and that Welsh life is covered suitably, to keep it relevant to people in Wales.

I recently visited a primary school that had a mock election, which was very interesting. So, I had to make sure that—. Somebody did ask me, 'Was that politically biased?' And I said 'No'. They were voting on whether they should have more sports and things…

The Democracy Club. Okay. Great. Thank you. And how can the Welsh Government ensure that the platform is available to digitally excluded people? And you went over that just earlier, didn't you? It's great, I have not had to ask the questions, because you've…

Okay. Thank you. And we discussed this earlier as well, but who should be responsible for the management of the platform and how can they ensure that things like candidate statements do not contain misinformation? I think Jess suggested something earlier…

So, just regarding the online voter information platform—you've already touched on this a bit already, so I'll go over the questions, then you can fill in gaps. How can Welsh Government ensure information on the platform is accessible to people with…

Do you think a buddying system might help in a way, going forward, that sort of thing? I'm just trying to think of solutions as well, to help.

Okay. And just regarding harassment and abuse, that was cited as a barrier, sometimes, to standing. So, there have been discussions regarding having a survey afterwards of candidates. So, do you think that would be useful as well? Do you think that might be…

I just want to ask a question on diversity again. So, still there's a little bit of unconscious bias and structural sexism going on, so just making sure that we have equality and diversity, and expanding a little bit. Many women are still the main carers of…

You've already mentioned about maybe the role of the Welsh Youth Parliament, which was my next question, so that's really useful. Where do you think this could be placed, this information? Do you think it should be just a central database, or maybe with local…

We've discussed previously cadastral mapping of areas of land and how useful that would be. When we're looking, even, at managing landfill, biodiversity, ecology as well, I just think that would be really useful, but may be quite difficult to do, because it's…

And I think the second question might apply to Rebecca Evans as well, but it was just if you could provide more information on the development of a national framework for land transaction tax, allowing local authorities—it is Rebecca, isn't it—to request an…
