That brings me to my—. Sorry, did somebody want to come in?

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
So, you’re saying that annual reporting wouldn’t work given the mixed timescales that are in place.

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Thank you, Cadeirydd. First of all, I'd like to say congratulations to Peter for this backbencher Bill. I'm sure that, across the Chamber, we've got respect for that, and given the content of the Bill, it confirms what I always thought, that he is actually a…

The arts council called for an additional £5 million to £10 million specifically to mitigate the impact of the increasing costs across the arts sector. Do you agree with that assessment of the scale of need, and what will be the impact of allocating…

Papers to note
I just wanted to say that I'm satisfied with the political neutrality of this committee. I don't think that should really be brought into question. I think, with regard to St David's Hall, the statements and the questions, I think the committee has dealt with…
