Diolch for the suggestion, Rhys ab Owen. I can see Members are content—they are. Okay. Item 5.5, P-06-1376, a petition submitted by David Oddy with 270 signatures in total. This relates to the petition on the Welsh Government's basic income pilot. The…

Diolch, Peredur. I should say that Cefin Campbell, too, has raised this a number of times in the Chamber. I think that makes sense to have a further discussion in private session later around public transport and the bus industry in general, and we'll seek to…

Okay. Thank you for that, Joel. So, the suggestion is to write to the UK Minister, highlighting the petition and the work of the committee. Do Members agree? Content? Okay. We'll seek to do that. Thank you. Yes, just to say, are we then closing the petition…

Thank you. Diolch, Peredur. So, there have been a number of suggestions to try and find a way through from this. As I say, this is quite a personal issue, and we haven't had correspondence further with the petitioner about that, but I think we can as a…

So, there's been a suggestion from Joel to write back. I should just say the difficulty with this particular petition is we've had no further comments from the petitioner, and this, obviously, is related quite heavily to the experiences of the petitioner…

P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Diolch. We will, as a committee, go into private session later this afternoon to discuss this session, the petitions it's associated with and a few other things. Of course, I can't say what the committee will agree to, but I'm sure I can say that we do all…

P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Thank you for that. Can I just place on record as well the committee agreeing entirely with you that we should seek to reduce discrimination as a whole, in all its forms, and any of its forms, going forward? You mentioned some of the statistics; perhaps…

P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Just one final question from me, and then I will bring in the Chair of the children and young people committee. Ffion, you mentioned the access and the timetable. For me, that would be going on my phone or the app and finding the bus or train that I want to…

Diolch, Pred. You went through this during your presentation, but just to get it back onto the record, you mentioned that there needs to be a joined-up approach in services from buses to trains. I think that's one everyone here supports. But is it worse with…

Thank you for that. We're very lucky to be joined by the Chair of the Children, Young People and Education Committee, who is much more competent in questioning on that sector than I am, so I'm sure that we'll hear from Jayne Bryant later on. Peredur Owen…
