Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Thank for that, Jonathan. I don't want to jump too much into benefits, because I know Luke's going to pick some of that up. I won't say in the committee, but my comments on the welfare system are quite clear outside of this committee as an individual Member…

Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Can I just move you on? The current proposal is 250 care leavers—it's being pitched at 250 care leavers within the current Welsh Government proposal. You've discussed some of your key areas where you think it should be—a geographical location, perhaps with…

Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Diolch yn fawr, Jonathan, for that. If I can start, we took a keen interest as a committee in this petition itself. I will note for the record, Clerk, that I've actually led a debate in the previous Senedd calling for a pilot on an universal basic income. So…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
I thank Mr Rowlands for bringing this very important question forward today. Minister, I learnt on the tools for my engineering apprenticeship things that were just not covered in school nor college, and nor were they covered in my part-time degree when I…

Debate: Remembering and supporting our Armed Forces community in Wales
I too am very grateful to speak in today's debate in a sense of cross-party spirit, which I believe it should be. And like Huw Irranca-Davies, one of the proudest moments of my time as a sitting Member of the Senedd was when I became an honorary member of the…

Health and social care workforce: evidence session with Health Education and Improvement Wales and Social Care Wales
Thanks for that. Perhaps the committee can write to the new digital body.

Health and social care workforce: evidence session with Health Education and Improvement Wales and Social Care Wales
Diolch for that, Julie. I appreciate that answer. Perhaps, as a committee, we could seek to get some evidence from trade unions on those points as well. Just very briefly, moving on to technology and innovation, I'm still trying to figure out what innovation…

Health and social care workforce: evidence session with Health Education and Improvement Wales and Social Care Wales
Thank you, both, for that, and it's pleasing to hear the point about students there as well. I think the committee will be grateful to receive the link from you, Julie, at the appropriate time. Just in terms of on-the-ground delivery, then, burnout was…

Health and social care workforce: evidence session with Health Education and Improvement Wales and Social Care Wales
Thank you, Chair. Just moving on to the well-being of our wonderful staff, it won't be a surprise that, in the written evidence we've gained as a committee, well-being was clearly a key priority. I don't think that'll be a surprise for anyone. So, it was…

Post appointment scrutiny session with the interim chair, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
Thank you for that answer. I'll pick up on staff in my next question. I think, in your opening, you mentioned developing the more open and transparent process in delivering the services, and, it seems to me, looking outside in, as you are, I suppose, it needs…

Post appointment scrutiny session with the interim chair, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
Diolch, Chair, and good morning, Mr Elias. In your opening there, you did say you're trying to build confidence back for the relevant stakeholders within the health board. Perhaps you could just expand on that, and just tell us what your actual plans are to…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: A greener economy
Diolch yn fawr, Deputy Llywydd, and I'll extend my thanks to the Minister for his statement. I agree with him about the importance of the steel industry; if we are to move towards a green economy, then that must include localised steel production. I'm sure…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Net-zero Strategy
I do welcome this statement from the Minister, so I thank the Minister for that. It's absolutely right that our minds are focused on the changes that we all have to make to reach net zero, but I do believe it's going to take some bold and tough decisions to…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42(ix) to resolve to exclude the public from item 6 of the meeting.
Moving on to item 5, that does conclude today's public business, so we will now go into private session to consider our forward work plan. So, can I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(ix) that the committee resolves to meet in private for the…

Further discussion on the signature threshold
I think we should have a watching brief; those issues are important and we have a duty to be flexible where we can. But can I make the suggestion, then, to the clerking team, that we do write to the Business Committee requesting a change to the Standing…

Further discussion on the signature threshold
Thank you for that, Luke, and I'll extend my thanks to the wonderful clerking team that we have for producing this report. Just to address the two points you made in your contribution then, the goalposts won't be moved. For those who have petitions open…

Further discussion on the signature threshold
Thank you for that. I sat on the previous Petitions Committee in the last Senedd, and it was obviously something that we discussed heavily. As Gareth says, the data perhaps wasn't there. I do think now the data is in front of us for us to scrutinise and look…

Further discussion on the signature threshold
Moving on to item 4 of today's agenda, we're going to have a discussion about the petitions threshold now. I'll pass over to our clerking team to talk through the paper they've kindly put together for us.
