Thank you, Nikki. I could see nodding there, so I'll take it as an assumption that that happens in all places. Or is there anything different that we need to be aware of? Paula.

Thank you all, thank you, Buffy, for those questions. Before we move on to Joel James, can I just ask—? The petitioner, Leeanne, has said within the conversations that we've had that she wants a proactive approach to drowning prevention and not a reactive…

Okay. Thank you, Paula. Before we go back to Buffy Williams, I think we should put on record that this vandalism is really, really disappointing to hear. We see that in our communities, again, with things like defibrillators. These are life-saving pieces of…

You have suggested that you've got these throwline stations in various places. One of the witnesses in the previous session has suggested that the education needs to go alongside using those particular safety and drowning prevention resources. Are there any…

Croeso, welcome back to the Senedd's Petitions Committee. We will take a second set of evidence on the petition P-06-1212, 'Mark Allen's Law—we want throwline stations around all open water sites in Wales'. Can I thank the witnesses before and also the team…

Bye now. Goodbye. Okay, just before we move on to the second session, I will ask the broadcasting team if we can take a short technical break to bring in the witnesses for the second evidence session, and the committee will restart at 14:50. So, we've got…

I think in the short conversations we've had as a committee, we could see the inspirational stories—the devastation and tragedy and the worst of people's lives, but trying to do some good. And certainly, we would like to try and support that. So, as we are…
