Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 1
Okay. Thank you very much. I'm conscious, Olly Craughan, that we haven't given you an opportunity yet. I'd imagine, just picking up on what Joyce said earlier about distribution, if there's a density of charge points, let's say, along the M4, along the A55…

Thank you for that. There have been concerns as well that some of the KPI deadlines haven't been met either, so I'd imagine, on the back of what you've just said, Professor Cipcigan, that you'd be concerned, for example, that the establishment of the…

I'd like to bring some of the other witnesses in on this, if I may. Paul Bevan, first of all.

Yes, and take us on to the next line of questioning there. I'm keen to bring other witnesses in. They've been very patient, in fairness. But ,Joyce, yes, go on. Carry on, and then we'll bring the others in.

Okay. We'll pursue some of that as we go along. And I'll come on to the other guests as well in a minute. I just wanted to ask, as you framed that in the context of it being related to the number of EVs that we have, in terms of how many charge points, well…

That's very interesting. Sorry, Janet.

Okay. The sound cut out there. I think it was 'private and commercial', but we'll start with the first question. Who wants to go first? David, yes—and there's no need, actually, to operate the mikes; they're done remotely.

Diolch, Gareth, not only for making us believe, but for proving that we can. Diolch, hefyd, not only for being Welsh, but for taking Cymru with you everywhere around the world. Diolch as well for saying that you had a bad back. Viva Gareth Bale.

90-second Statements
When Gareth Bale made his first appearance for his country, as a substitute against Trinidad and Tobago back in 2006, we all knew, didn't we, as a nation, that we had a special talent on our hands, but nobody, I think, could have foreseen how exceptional his…

Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Diversity in Democracy—Survey Results
Thank you to the Minister for her statement. I think what we need to do at the outset is to thank those individuals who have put themselves forward to be advocates for their communities, although perhaps they don't feel that that's what it is, particularly in…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: NHS Winter Pressures
You say in your statement, Minister, that 12 per cent of bed capacity in the NHS is now full as a result of delayed discharges, and in response to that, of course, you say that you've secured an additional 500 community beds for step-down care. Clearly, that…

Ministerial scrutiny sessions—the co-operation agreement
Thank you for that. Perhaps some people would seek an explanation as to why the other Bills were more of a priority, and perhaps you could briefly mention that. But, if I’m understanding this correctly, parts of the legislation would seek to tackle the…
