Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 1
I think there's an obvious question in the room. We talk about investment in your property by private landlords and the cost of it, but considering the cost of heating at the moment and the fear that people won't put any heating on, is there not, in your…

Can I just ask one final question?

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 1
And finally, for Chris, what do you think would the impact on that progress if private landlords are not involved in ORP 3?

Okay. So—

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 1
Right. If nobody else is going to say anything, I'm going to ask about the views on the Welsh Government's assertion that the test-and-learning approach that it has adopted—and it has adopted that—in the ORP is going to be sufficient to be the springboard to…

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 1
Good morning, everybody. We have had an optimised retrofit programme that's been ongoing. So, I just want to ask you for your views on how that optimised retrofit programme, how the learning from that, can be transferred now into the private sector and that…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Biodiversity
I very much welcome your statement, Minister, and especially the headline commitment to triple peatland restoration. It's fantastic. For the record, I'm a long-standing RSPB member, so I'm especially pleased about what that's going to mean for ground-nesting…

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
That's all.

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
I knew it would be just as quick. The other question is: which items does the Welsh Government believe are outside the scope of the exclusion from the market access principles, if any?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
[Inaudible.]—straightforward, I think. What engagement has the Welsh Government had with the UK Government in terms of expanding the list of excluded single-use plastics in the UK regulations?

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Can I just ask one final question? I've heard bamboo being mentioned quite frequently, and there'll be other products as alternatives. We have signed up to the future generations Act, of course. Are we also looking at any potential impact of replacing one…

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
You've clearly done some work about identifying acceptable alternatives, and we'd like to hear a little more about that. But one issue around the alternatives that was raised this morning by the WLGA was the fear that they may find themselves getting into the…

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
I'd like, Minister, if you would explain what the Welsh Government has done in the way of outlining the life-cycle analysis and the studies behind that when they've arrived at these particular goods being banned.

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session 6
And finally, we'll have a post-implementation review, and you've already talked about alternative plastic technology or other technologies perhaps causing environmental damage. You've talked about food waste as an example. So, are you happy that there is a…

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session 6
We talked about adding or removing items from the list. I want to ask if you think the process for doing that is ideal.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session 6
Good morning. I note that you've raised some concerns about plastic alternatives having maybe a potential impact on anaerobic digestion plants if they're disposed of with food waste. Do you want to expand on that?

It's been interesting, but there will be another stage to all of this. There'll be adding or removing items from the banned list of single-use plastic products, and if you want to share your views, if you have any views, on what would be the ideal process to…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 5
You've more or less answered it, but just another chance, if you want to add anything more about the clarity in the Bill about the types of products that are going to be banned. Are you happy with that?
