Group 10: Trunk road charging schemes (Amendments 49, 79, 62, 61, 82, 83, 84)
Thank you, Chair. Amendment 49 removes the section 'Trunk road charging schemes' from the Bill. This removes the new provision that will widen Welsh Ministers' powers in relation to road charging. Minister, I am disappointed. Every single local authority in…

Yes, just quickly on that. On amendment 59, Minister, rather than it just be guidance, you said you would work with us on amendment 59. Am I correct?

Thank you. I would like to speak to my amendments. Amendment 48 would require Welsh Ministers through regulations to provide a list of exempt fireplaces. This is so important. There needs to be transparency over this list. It is not worth while having a list…
