Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 1
That's really useful. I just want to try and explore, then, given that we have these constraints, how much does this stimulate other ways of getting around these problems. So, local storage, local energy generation for local energy use. Will.

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 1
First of all, can I just declare that I'm an investor in Awel Aman Tawe, who are giving evidence later on? We've already established, I think, in the conversation so far that the grid infrastructure is not fit for purpose and is quite a major challenge, but…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Eating disorders
There is much better understanding of eating disorders now than there was 50 years ago. I can recall siblings of friends of mine just desperately struggling to understand what they could do, and the medical profession didn't really know what to do beyond…

& 12. Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar Fil yr Heddlu, Troseddu, Dedfrydu a'r Llysoedd—Cynnig 1, a Chynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar Fil yr Heddlu, Troseddu, Dedfrydu a'r Llysoedd—Cynnig 2
Limiting the right to public protest is somewhat ironic in the context of the UK Government's apparently Damascene conversion to the importance of democratic government when it comes to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I think, given the way in which the UK…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Period Dignity
Thank you very much for the statement. I was just listening carefully to what you've been saying and I also think we do need to think about the sustainability of what we're doing, because dignity is fantastically important and we need to ensure that everybody…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing: Healthy Weight, Healthy Wales 2022-2024
My question really is on: if you're going to change the school meal regulations, I applaud that, but who will monitor the quality of school meals? Because at the moment we rely on school governors and for them, actually, it's a bit of a mystery, and I've not…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing: Healthy Weight, Healthy Wales 2022-2024
Thank you very much to the Minister for your statement, and thank you very much for your commitment to this area, because it really does require that level of persistence on this complex issue. I was very grateful to the Farmers Union of Wales recently, who…

Business Statement and Announcement
First of all, I'd like to very much welcome the recent announcement by the health Minister that telemedical abortions are going to become a permanent service. This is a fantastically important issue, particularly for women living in rural areas, or women who…

Provisional Common Frameworks: Air Quality, and Chemicals and Pesticides—evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
[Inaudible.]—a little bit further in light of the UK trade agreement with Australia, which explicitly excluded anything to do with carbon emissions. Clearly, this is not a devolved matter, but you can see how a future trade agreement that the UK Government…

Provisional Common Frameworks: Air Quality, and Chemicals and Pesticides—evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
I just want to explore this a little bit further. You've already mentioned that there is already divergence on air quality, and air quality's not one of those things where you regulate today and tomorrow you implement, which you might insist on with…

Provisional Common Frameworks: Air Quality, and Chemicals and Pesticides—evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
If, for example, there was concern from the Welsh Government about the use of pesticides on the English side going into the River Wye, which, as we know, runs between the two countries, at what point would the Senedd—this committee—get to hear about them…

Provisional Common Frameworks: Air Quality, and Chemicals and Pesticides—evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you. Obviously, the great unresolved issue of Brexit is the relationship between Northern Ireland and Britain, and the relationship between Northern Ireland and southern Ireland and the wider EU. So, I just wondered if you can explain how the frameworks…

Provisional Common Frameworks: Air Quality, and Chemicals and Pesticides—evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Obviously, both frameworks we're looking at today provide for additional agreements or other governance arrangements that, from time to time, may need to be put into place. And, clearly, this would have happened while we were a member of the EU as well; this…

Debate on petition P-05-949 Save Cowbridge Old Girls' School from Demolition
I wonder if I could challenge you, Minister, to say that this is missing the point. Because it does not meet the criteria for sustainability, which is reduce, re-use, recycle. So, the Cadw framework needs to change, or the planning system needs to change, to…

Debate on petition P-05-949 Save Cowbridge Old Girls' School from Demolition
I'm very pleased to follow my colleague Darren Millar, and I largely agree with everything he says on this occasion, as indeed with Joel James, because I think this is a really important issue and it's excellent that this petition has enabled us to discuss…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Would you agree with me that one of the keys to this is ensuring that we have the quality social care in the community to enable people to be discharged quickly?

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. The Housing (Wales) Act 2014 places a legal obligation and a statutory duty on local authorities in Wales to both assess and provide for residential and transit provision for Gypsy and Traveller communities, and yet nearly eight…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
I'd now like to suggest we move into private session. So, I wondered if the sound operator could let us know once we are in private session.

Papers to note
And finally, the last item on the public agenda is to note the correspondence we've had from the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, which was the letter she shared that she'd written to the Minister for Social Justice on the budget that she thinks…
