Thank you for that, Luke, and I can see nodding in agreement from Joel, and I would agree too. So, we will take that action forward.

Thank you for that, Joel, and I think there's agreement around the table on that from Members to take up away from the committee. But certainly I thank the petitioner, and thank again those people who did take the time to write and share their memories. As I…

Okay. I can see Joel nodding, and I would agree with that, as long as that is fine for the clerking team. Thank you, all. Item 3.8, P-05-1130, 'The Welsh Government should re-purchase and refurbish Coleg Harlech', submitted by Sian Ifan with 6,661 signatures…

I'm sure we can ask that question within the letter, Joel.

Would you like to consent for that to happen?

Yes, sorry.

Okay. In terms of actions for the committee, then, I think one of the things we can do is write to the Heritage and Cultural Exchange as well, asking for an update on their discussions on a permanent home for the archive. There is a long way to go. We are…

I would be in agreement with that, and I can see nodding from Joel, too, so you're right, I think it is on individual Members to scrutinise the policy of the Government, but again, we thank the petitioner for bringing this really important petition forward…

Okay, and I think we should make it for the record that the last engagement we had, the clerking team had shared the most recent Welsh Government update with the petitioner. Again, we haven't succeeded on all of the specifics of the petition, but the…

Well, thank you, both, for that suggestion. I would agree with that suggestion. It has been discussed, as I said, four times plus once debated in Plenary at the request of the previous committee, so I do think, with a heavy heart, this is as far as we can…

I would be in agreement with that. As you said, we have had a lengthy debate in the Chamber, I would say an entertaining debate in the Chamber, as well, but it's not for the committee to carry this on. So, I would agree with that, and thank the petitioner and…

—sadly, I think this is something that we do now have to close as a Petitions Committee. Item 3.2, P-06-1203, 'Do not roll out Covid 19 vaccine passports for retail, hospitality or other premises'. 'We want the Welsh Government to commit to not rolling out…

Item 3, updates to previous petitions. Item 3.1, P-05-954, 'Petition for a public inquiry by the Welsh Government into the historic child abuse on Caldey Island', and this was submitted by Kevin O'Connell, with 5,088 signatures. Can I ask Members to discuss…

Thanks for that suggestion. I can see Luke nodding, and I would agree too. So, yes, we can have a watching brief on this petition and accept the Minister's offer to report back to the committee at a later date. I think we should, as a committee, put on record…

I would tend to agree with that, Luke, so we can certainly write to NRW on the basis of what you've suggested. Item 2.10, P-06-1209, 'Create a national list of all unpaid carers in Wales'. 'The Welsh government have said for a long time now that identifying…

Okay. That makes sense to me. So, we can action that. Item 2.9, P-06-1205, 'Invest in flood defences on the Towy in Carmarthen including the Quayside area': 'The Towy floods multiple times a year affecting businesses that sit alongside it. Something needs to…

Thanks, both, for that. I'm sure we could write to other organisations, and if there are further organisations, then perhaps we could have a conversation with the clerking team outside. Moving on to 2.8, P-06-1202, 'Ban the killing of day old chicks in…
