Have the Welsh Government ever asked you for help and support, and you've said 'no', you can't do it?

Do you feel that you've had an influence?

So, did they ask you to do that, or did you ask—you know, come into it, sort of thing?

And could you tell us some examples of the types of issues that the Welsh Government raises with you?

Thanks. It would be good if you could let us know, as—

Diolch. I'm going to ask about the support for Welsh Government, and I think you already referred to, at the beginning, that you are going to be publishing all the meetings with Welsh Government. So, has it gone up or gone down in your time as commissioner?

Annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Yes. Bore da. I just wanted to come in on the political point that Carolyn made, and I'm sure that you're aware, Derek, that, in order to create an age-friendly Wales, there is a champion in each cabinet throughout Wales, and, obviously, it depends on the…

Thanks very much to the Cabinet Secretary for her response and for her apology on behalf of the Welsh Government, and thank you to Mabon for putting the topical question. As I said during the business statement yesterday, I was up in Central Hall Westminster…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you very much, Joyce. Two weeks ago, I had a 90-second statement here in the Chamber to talk about the life of Dorothy Miles, who was a deaf sign language poet from north Wales. I was very pleased that the statement was interpreted live here into…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Diolch. As Jenny Rathbone has already said, there's been a huge delay over the bus station. My constituents have had to wait for nine years, I think, now. I hear you say, and I'm very pleased to hear you say, that it will be open before the summer, but we…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
Thank you. And then finally, how much has your approach been influenced by the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015?

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
Yes, it does all seem a bit up in the air. That's how it seems to me at least. And, obviously, people have had to live with this for so long that it does seem, as I say, very unresolved. So, what do you think the developer is now thinking? Do you think the…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
Thank you very much. I wanted to ask what has influenced the way you've operated during this whole saga. Did you adapt your approach to managing Ffos-y-fran in light of either the Welsh Government’s 2014 report on failure to restore opencast sites, or, as I…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
Yes. I was just thinking about it and wondering how much work had been able to go on outside those formal procedures between the local authority and the company, which might have resolved some of these issues.

Have you had any sort of dialogue outside the formal planning applications with the company?

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
Yes. Thank you very much. Carolyn referred to the Coal Authority's best practice guidance. I think that you said that it was difficult to bring that in or to enforce it because 2005 was the permission, and it's difficult to renegotiate with the company. Did…

Yes, quickly. I absolutely agree with you that we've got to go with people, but certainly on some of the examples that Delyth has raised, the 20 mph for example, in my constituency, I'm having lots of people writing in thinking that we have rowed back on the…
