Evidence session 1 - P-06-1326 The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
So, with that in mind, then, in terms of sharing that data with the UK Government, what sort of interaction have you had with them regarding that? What outcome has this achieved?

Evidence session 1 - P-06-1326 The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
Thank you, Chair. Thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. I just wanted to ask one question, really, on data collection. It's come up in previous sessions, when we've talked to Citizens Advice and National Energy Action Cymru, and they've…

Debate on the Petitions Committee Report—'From Five to Four? P-06-1247 Support trials of a four-day week in Wales'
Thank you for taking the intervention. I think that you cited the Iceland trial, but also the UK trial. But you know that, with the UK trial, those companies—. You mentioned that there was a wide range of companies. I would hasten to add that I don't…

Debate on the Petitions Committee Report—'From Five to Four? P-06-1247 Support trials of a four-day week in Wales'
My view has always been that if the private sector want to do this, they're fully entitled to, but if it's the public purse, I think there are higher priorities that we should be spending our money on. While the loss of those soft skills may seem like a…

Debate on the Petitions Committee Report—'From Five to Four? P-06-1247 Support trials of a four-day week in Wales'
In the first instance, I find it very difficult to justify going forward with this pilot, because I cannot see why potentially tens of millions of pounds of public money should be spent on something that the Welsh Government does not have legislative…

Okay, perfect. Thank you.

Perfect. Well, I suppose that brings me on to my final question, Chair, about the Welsh public library standards. I know that we've spoken with several organisations from both sides of the argument. Some have sold it with huge praise, but have said, you know…

Local Authority Library and Leisure Services - evidence session 6
Perfect. With that in mind, then, why don't we talk about the existing legislation, like the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964? Do you think that provides enough statutory protection? I'm conscious you mentioned that the will is there to provide these…

Local Authority Library and Leisure Services - evidence session 6
Thank you, Chair. And thanks, everyone, for this afternoon; it's been really informative. I just wanted to talk a bit more about the statutory and policy framework. I know it's briefly come up, but I just wanted to get some idea of whether or not you think…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change
With that in mind, though, in terms of all the sequential stuff that needs to be done as well, have there been timescales for that? Because you mentioned some of it's just policy change.
, Local Government and Housing Committee
The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Minister. I suppose I've just got one last question, and it's about timescales. Do you have an estimated timescale for all this, or is it—? Sorry, I see you nodding, so go on.

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change
Okay. Thank you, Minister, for that response. With that in mind, could I just get some idea, then, of what is currently being done? Because you mentioned the sticking-plaster approach. Could you just elaborate more on that? And obviously you mentioned the…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 6 - Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Minister, for today's evidence. I just wanted to pick your brains on a few of the comments you've made. In previous evidence sessions, we've heard from Alma Economics and the Chartered Institute of Housing Cymru, and I just…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill
I think the views of this Chamber are very clear with regard to this Bill and have been expressed by all parties in previous debates. However, I have still not been swayed by any of the arguments presented by them, and I still believe that the minimum service…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. I didn't quite catch all of that, because of the audio system, but, as you will be aware, there is considerable concern and confusion among the non-domestic self-catering accommodation market in Wales regarding the Welsh…

So, with regard to that, then—and taking on board Mabon's comments about the different models that are out there—do you think, then, that a move from a local authority-provided service to, say, a social enterprise, or an anchoring community hub type of thing…

Local Authority Library and Leisure Services - evidence session 4
Thank you, Chair, and thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. I just want to touch upon the social value of these facilities. I know we've heard from previous evidence sessions about that there's sort of a mixture of concerns of local authorities…

Yes. Thanks ever so much, Matthew, for that. We've heard, then, from different evidence sessions—and Mabon touched upon it—about preferred options, and that. And I just wanted—. And we've heard about alternative models like social enterprises anchored in…

Thank you, Chair, and thanks everyone for coming in this morning. Yes, as the Chair said, this takes me on because I'm quite interested in the social value. One of the concerns that I have is whether or not local authorities, for example, place enough…
