Okay. I thank all Members for their comments. And I'm in agreement with the case for this to be reviewed by Members of the Senedd and others as things move forward with greener technologies and other efficiencies to be made in vehicles and so forth. But as…

Diolch yn fawr, John. This is a topic that is petitioned on annually in some form, typically around the comments Members have made already, and the effects of fireworks on animals and those vulnerable individuals. Indeed, I see it myself, as a dog dad to Coco…

Thank you, both. I'm also aware that we have had a number of petitions around the Eurovision Song Contest and Wales's participation or lack of participation in the contest up until this petition, so perhaps we do go ahead with writing to the EBU to gather…

Diolch, Peredur Owen Griffiths. Firstly, I should say congratulations to your brother and those competing in the choir competition you mentioned just now. The suggestion is to write to the European Broadcasting Union, copying in S4C, to seek further…

Diolch, Peredur Owen Griffiths. Peter Fox is right: this is a matter for the local authority, ultimately, so I think your suggestion of writing to the local authority whilst closing this petition, and sending a letter to the local authority to highlight this…

Thanks to Peter Fox for the additional suggestion. So, I think there's a suggestion there to close this petition, and thanking this petitioner, but, in doing so, we will write to the Welsh Government to encourage them to encourage sports clubs and schools and…

Implementation of education reforms: evidence session
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. It's the consistency between the code and the Act across Wales, isn't it, as you recognise, and the importance of that being applied. Can I just ask about the term 'universal provision' or 'universal provision plus'? That's…

Implementation of education reforms: evidence session
