Just on that, do you have visitors to the libraries and is there a register of what organisations and groups use your libraries, besides books being hired out? I just think that information would be really useful for you, going forward, if you could do that.

Thank you, Chair. I want to go back to social value and well-being. It seems to me that the role of and need for libraries have changed significantly over the last few years—warm hubs, somewhere safe and quiet and free to go and study. Also, community groups…

Thanks.

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change
The objectives of security of tenure against forced eviction, availability of services, safe drinking water, affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, cultural adequacy—you don't think they're strong enough definitions, or not defined enough.

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change
Thank you. It sounds from your feedback that your commitment is really there to have this right to adequate housing, but it sounds like you need more information regarding impacts on Wales. You need more devolved information, because what's been provided so…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change

Thank you. And can you explain the role of BIPA in relation to the British-Irish Council? I think Karen touched on it earlier, but could you explain a little bit more to me?

Wales-Ireland relations: evidence session with Members of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly
Yes, you've probably covered it already a little. It was just how does BIPA take account of the different parliaments in the UK. So, you've touched on that a little by saying that you're not quorate unless you have all the representations from different…

Wales-Ireland relations: evidence session with the Cherish Project
Okay. So, my second question, supplementary, was how has this benefited your sector, and are there ways it can be improved? So, you've more or less said that, really.
