New Petitions
Thanks, Joel. We can certainly ask our clerking team to see if there is scope for that within this, and when the petition comes back the next time, we can consider that suggestion then. Item 2.5, P-06-1337, 'Sycharth, the home of Owain Glyndŵr, should be…

Diolch, Luke. I know, from a conversation we had as a clerking team, there is scope for some work on this. So if Members would agree to this suggestion that we do seek to undertake an inquiry in the autumn term—do they agree? They do. And it's also worth…

Diolch yn fawr, Joel. Do Members agree with Joel's suggestions? Any comments? No. Okay. Joel's right—we have written to Business Committee already requesting a debate, and I'm sure some of the points in this petition can be raised during that time, if not by…

Diolch, Rhys. I absolutely agree in terms of the pupils taking the initiative, and congratulate them for their excellent work. And can I ask if Members agree with Rhys's proposals there? They do. Diolch yn fawr. Item 2.2, P-06-1333, 'Stop Natural Resources…

I'm a big believer in not passing legislation just for legislation's sake, I assure you.

Thank you, Chair. I think we've covered quite a lot on what the Welsh Government should do, so perhaps just one question from me, as I'm conscious of time. What would you urge the Senedd to do, whether it be this committee or at a parliamentary level, with…

Please, Chair; I'd be grateful for that. Professor Clements, in response to Sarah Murphy's earlier question, you used the word 'kindness' in terms of the delivery and implementation of this. I think you said it was a strange way of putting it. I disagree with…

Perhaps it's something we might want to look at, Chair, away from this session. Moving on, perhaps, to one of your evaluation questions under the 19 test evaluation questions around social enterprises, Audit Wales themselves have found that local authorities…

So, just to—. Thank you for those comments. There's a separate piece of work around this that has been done. That has set out recommendations that we could, perhaps, quiz the Minister on.

Diolch, Cadeirydd. You recognise in your report the importance of providing support and promoting direct payments, but it is the case that the take-up and awareness of direct payments in Wales is particularly low. I wonder if you could set out why you think…

Minister, over the last few weeks, I’ve had over 100 handwritten letters from residents in Alyn and Deeside concerned about potential cuts to bus services. I share their concerns, particularly about people and communities being left isolated, and that jobs…
