18 July 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Thank you. You'll have to excuse me going back to this reporting business. There's a reticence, I feel, on behalf of all three of you, about, 'Well, we're doing this work, but we won't be able to do the report.' I see little point in that kind of work that…

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Yes, a couple of points here. So, I am concerned when you say, 'We won't be making the reports public.' It's taxpayers' money; the public have a right to know, certainly us as a scrutiny committee have a right, so I would hope that those reports are not kept…

A couple of points. Chair, a couple of points here.

Thank you.
18 July 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Well, no. You would know whether you've been monitored or not as yet, or have you not?
18 July 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Sorry to interrupt. Does that mean no monitoring? The question was: to what extent has the Government been monitoring? Are you saying they haven't, as yet?
18 July 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Yes. So, I mean you have had extra resources to help impact monitoring, going forward. How effective do you believe this is, but also to what extent has the Welsh Government been monitoring the work you're doing, if you like?
18 July 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
To what extent—
18 July 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Thank you. What progress have you made since last year, when it was apparent much progress was needed? How do you believe the interim measures are working, following three years of operation? What impact has your work had, and what do you think could still be…
17 July 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
In terms of Rachel Reeves, it's fair to say at least the outgoing Chancellor didn't leave a note saying there's absolutely no money left. Finally, in two weeks, farmers across Wales are going to feel the full force of the Water Resources (Control of…
17 July 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Would you agree that it's better if that money is kept in Wales, and will you work towards that aim?
17 July 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I suppose one could argue that, over the last 26 years of this place, and Welsh devolution, it’s fair to say that there have been 12 years under a Labour Government in the UK, and, of course, the last 14 years under a…
17 July 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Diolch, Llywydd. I'm going to take you back to water pollution. Can I thank everybody who has raised the current issues we have here in Wales in terms of water pollution? Like many others in this Chamber, I hope, I've welcomed the King's Speech and the future…
17 July 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
I think you'd agree with me that there must be concerns now raised about the £100 million shortfall from the 2023-24 budget, but, actually, this shortfall goes forward to the projected revenue growth. We’ve got to try and attract more people back onto…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office

16 July 2024Plenary
Business Statement and Announcement
I would like a statement on why, currently, all of the operations have been cancelled in Llandudno hospital. The Minister herself will know that I have fought so many times to have services brought back to Llandudno hospital, and I’m very pleased that this is…
16 July 2024Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I’ve got to be honest, it’s very disappointing that you’re unable to answer fully the question asked by my colleague Mabon. At the end of the day, I think it’s imperative that you do know how many of these independent advisers we have available, and I want to…
26 June 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
It is not only residents—I think you know where I'm going with this—but businesses that need support from this Welsh Government on maintaining these historic properties that Cadw have an interest in. Our very own Gwydir Castle in the Conwy valley is a…
26 June 2024Plenary
Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you. I'm sorry I've got to raise this here, and I am actually seeking some help through you, whether you might be able to write to the local authority. So, during the warmer months, children, young people and adults in Aberconwy delight in paddling in…
