Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Natural Resources Wales and the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
Thank you. I don't want to prolong this section. Just very, very briefly, we've spoken about the infrastructure policy statements, but of course the Bill as drafted doesn't give the Senedd a role in scrutinising, adopting or approving those. Is that a good…

That's fine, that's okay. Joyce, you can carry on. If you want to come back on anything, Rhian, you can do so.

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Natural Resources Wales and the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
Okay. Thank you very much. One thing that has come through clearly in terms of the evidence that we've received is the need that many have expressed for clarity on this transition from the current arrangements to the new system. Do you feel that is…

Emergency Question: Net Zero
Minister, you mentioned the independent climate change commission, and let's remind ourselves, instead of just trotting out lines to take from party HQ, of what the commission said earlier this year. They said that the UK has lost its clear global leadership…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
The Royal Alexandra Hospital in Rhyl was closed in 2009, with a pledge that it would be redeveloped. Indeed, community hospitals were closed on the back of that pledge to redevelop the Royal Alex. There was a business case in 2021, which highlighted the need…
