Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
I quite agree. Just going back to your hesitation about targets, having that sort of spotlight on one issue and everybody then ignoring everything else, on the other hand, if we as citizens don't have a clear idea of the carbon impact of particular policies…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
I just want to explore a bit further the hazards involved in attributing carbon reduction emissions to specific policies and proposals when so much of what influences this—it isn't just the weather; it's what the UK Government gets up to and what sort of…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Okay, thanks. I just want to move on now to the specific sectors. So, obviously, the transport sector is one where you are actually able to devise individual policies and the carbon impact of actions. Could you explain why the transport sector is the only one…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Okay. That's a fair point.
25 November 2021 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Okay. But, in your written statement, you talk about the second carbon plan needing to outperform the original proposals, because we have such a challenging target in our third carbon budget. In the light of that, how concerned are you about the increase in…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Could you just explain why the plan doesn't contain key milestones, deadlines and targets for individual proposals? That's what some stakeholders are calling for, but I appreciate that can make it even more complicated for people to understand exactly where…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
Can I just take us back to our interdependency with the UK decarbonisation plans, particularly looking at rail? The institute of rail safety has revealed that travelling on one of these bi-mode trains is worse than standing on the most polluted street in…

Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee and Equality and Social Justice Committee Debate: Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015: Scrutiny of implementation
Thank you very much. Natasha Asghar, I think, made some very succinct points that were really helpful, which the Minister has picked up. I don't think the public is ever going to be particularly aware of the Act. People are not going to read the Act, but they…

Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee and Equality and Social Justice Committee Debate: Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015: Scrutiny of implementation
Thank you. I'd like to use this opportunity to pay tribute to Nick Ramsay, who chaired the Public Accounts Committee, and this report he headed, and he said in his foreword that, ultimately, making the well-being of future generations Act work 'depends on…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Well, thank you very much. It's good to know that this redundant equipment from our point of view will indeed be applied to worthy causes across the length and breadth of Wales. Has the Commission considered any of it going to developing countries with which…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
I'm very pleased to hear that, Counsel General, because there is so much wrong with the criminal justice system, in particular the failure to have any impact on the rehabilitation of prisoners, because of the underfunding of the prison service and the…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: COP26
I'd like to applaud the Welsh Government's leadership on this issue. Your presence in COP was very significant, as was that of the First Minister and Julie James. I think that we have to be proud of the role that we can play. For me, one of the most important…

First Minister, I very much look forward to taking part in COP Cymru, because I'm sure that's absolutely right—we need to engage everybody in this venture to save the world from climate disaster. Clearly, COP is a work in progress in persuading all countries…

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 3
Thank you very much indeed, both of you, for your contributions. Johan, particularly for yourself, we will send you a transcript in English of what you have said, but also Alison as well. It's very important that you read it to make sure that we haven't…

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 3
Thank you for clarifying that. And just finally, Alison, you're planning to develop a system of wraparound care. I'm assuming you have some sort of piecemeal system already, like we have in Wales, where some schools have wraparound care and others don't, and…

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 3
Thank you. If we need any more information on that very important point, we'll perhaps correspond with you on it. Final question to Johan: you talk about discontinuing the cash for care system, and I just wondered if you could clarify, does that mean cash to…
