Thank you, Luke. I think I might have signed your Member's debate, actually. Given what Rhys has said in his contribution, perhaps there is a question for the committee in the meantime to ask the Welsh Government what they are doing to increase awareness of…

Diolch yn fawr, Luke. Without getting into a debate on the powers and responsibilities of certain institutions, I think everyone would agree with the spirit of this petition—actually, I think that was noted the last time it came to this Senedd. We will have…

Thank you for that, Buffy. I can see nodding on the screens and I can also see nodding in the committee room. In particular, thanks for mentioning the hard work of the clerking team, which we're also always very grateful for. On that note, we will go with…

I'm not sure what the response will be from the Welsh Government, but the Welsh Government may address some of those items, so I don't want to duplicate work at this given time. That's what I'm hopeful of, anyway. But I note that suggestion. We move on to…

On that note, then, we'll wait until we receive the response, and if we haven't received it by the January meeting, then we could encourage the Welsh Government to do so. Luke Fletcher wanted to come in.

Thank you, Joel. There were, I think, two suggestions there. I think the first was to wait for the response. I'm minded to go with that for now, given that this is our last session of the term. Gareth.

Okay. Diolch yn fawr, Buffy. I'll add to that before we go to other Members. I did raise this particular petition before it actually came to committee for the first time, during the Children, Young People and Education Committee debate on that particular…

Very much noted, Rhys. So, do Members agree with that? If we look to bring Hefin in in the first instance, when we get time in the new year, and we will scope out what this particular committee could do in this area. Okay. Good. Item 2.3, P-06-1308, 'Take…

Yes, okay. Thank you, Joel. There have been a number of suggestions there. Could I make a suggestion? Perhaps we look to bring Hefin David in early in the new year, whilst we scope out what an inquiry would look like. I know that there's been lots of work in…

Diolch, Rhys. Your declaration of interest and signature has been noted for the record, and clerks have made a note of that too. I certainly wasn't debating leasehold in the 1970s, but I do agree with what you were saying there. Luke Fletcher.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Small businesses
I'm not going to speak about haircuts now, and I don't get my nails done. But it's not just nail salons or barbers or hairdressers, it's actually things like tattoo shops, and I can tell you that I got my tattoo for the world cup in Purple Moon tattoo studio…

Debate on petition P-06-1302, 'Protect Mid-Wales’ unique Cambrian Mountains: designate them an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'
I might not. The Minister may, I'm sure. [Laughter.] But, just responding to the Minister directly, if I may—Huw Irranca set me up very nicely there—the Minister did importantly note the work the Welsh Government are doing, the work NRW are doing, and the…
