Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with public authorities
Okay, thank you. Yes, there is a total disconnect, because I have to tell you, at the moment, we're probably all receiving them, but I've got two areas in my constituency where people are adamant that there is pollution. So, I write to Dŵr Cymru and NRW, but…

Thank you. How often do they meet? And also, in written evidence, you say there is a need to generate national ownership of the deep-dive recommendations. How might this be done? The reason I ask those questions is that we know of many groups that meet…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Flooding—Preparing for winter
