Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 5
Good morning. I'm going to ask some questions around whether you're adequately resourced to do the job you do. We know that you have—I'm sure I've mixed up my questions here—an SLA with Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, a service level agreement, and you…

So, what you're saying is, as things stand—and we've heard it all morning, but, just for the record—that when it comes to making people accountable, it's near to impossible, as I'm hearing you say.

Debate: Stage 4 of the Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill
Thank you for taking an intervention. I'm a little bit concerned about you putting two things side by side. This legislation we're passing today is about extending, quite rightly, the numbers of people who will be elected to this place; it isn't about moving…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
I thank you for that answer. There are 22,000 empty homes in Wales and, as you say, the Welsh Government has a scheme to bring back those empty homes, through grants, into use. I understand that the fund is accessible for owner-occupiers, registered social…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, First Minister. The decision by the UK Government to reject the port of Milford Haven’s new green energy terminal in Pembroke Dock last month was a huge disappointment. The port of Milford Haven is a critical part of the UK’s infrastructure, bringing…

I welcome the Welsh Government's investment of £4.6 million in mid Wales to improve public transport and economic growth. The funding will help to develop important projects like the second phase of a shared-use path along Severn Road to Welshpool town…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Hywel Dda University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Good morning, Neil, and I live in this area and I was interested in your response so far. But the big issue here, in trying to move Hywel Dda forward, is taking staff with you, and preventing the anxiety that often runs alongside change. So, what approach…

So, in terms of—because we're going to have a lull now; we've got somebody that can't hear—in terms of the networks you described, I think that they are particularly key in trying to deliver anything. So, will it be one of your first intentions, if they're…

I want to continue with staff. Good morning, Jan. You've talked about taking the organisation with you, but in terms of staff, we've seen in some cases morale being on the floor—their words, not mine. So, how will you be fully engaged with the staff…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Senedd Women's Caucus
If I can just say, we've made history in the Senedd today, because it's the first time a women's caucus has ever given any evidence here in terms of legislation, and I wonder how many other parliamentary bodies in the UK have allowed that; I suspect we've…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Senedd Women's Caucus
This is the rub, isn't it? Which mechanism do you use? I gave examples, I think, in the evidence that I provided on behalf of the women's caucus. There are many models, and there are arguments for and against. If you zip and you put a woman at the top, and…
