Connie, do you want to come in on this, or maybe the previous point about the 1 per cent as well?

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
Diolch yn fawr. Okay, we'll go on to Janet then.

Elinor, would you like to start?

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
Thank you, and a warm welcome to all three of you. We'll move immediately to questions from Huw.

Welcome back to the committee meeting. We move now to item 3, our second evidence session on the committee's work on digital connectivity in Wales, and we welcome a new panel of witnesses. So, I'll invite you to introduce yourselves, your title and who you…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Okay, fine. Well, time has defeated us, so may I thank the witnesses for your evidence this morning? It's very valuable, and makes an excellent start to our work on this topic. You will receive a copy of the transcript, just to check for accuracy and that it…

Rhian.

As time is short, if Members are happy, we'll move immediately to Huw's questions. He's been very patient .
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Okay. Anyone else?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Sian.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Okay, thank you. There's a lot to pick up on there, I think. We'll move on to Delyth, if we may.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Well, everybody's looking down—[Laughter.]—so I'm not sure whether that's a 'yes' or a 'no', Ken, to be honest. Hywel.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Well, if Joyce is content, we'll move to Ken.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Okay, thank you for that. Clearly, we'll pick up on that in our next session. We will move on, and we'll move now to Joyce.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Okay. Who wants to pick up on that? We can obviously ask Openreach in the next panel.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Thank you very much. We'll move on, I think, because time is against us, and we'll move to Janet for the next question.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Yes. Thank you. Well, that 1.2 per cent figure is quite stark, isn't it? It probably tells us clearly that something isn't right in that space. Okay.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Yes. Okay. Thanks, Delyth. Sian.

'Rhanddeiliaid' or 'budd-ddeiliaid' is the term.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Thank you to all three of you. We have some 15 minutes left and we're not quite halfway through our questions, so we need to make a move, and we might not get to all of them. But we'll move to Delyth.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
In so many different ways. You're absolutely right, yes. Diolch. Hywel.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Rhian first and then Hywel.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Who'd like to respond? Sian.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Certainly, any solutions such as that, I think, would be something that we as Members, who have dealt with casework on this, would welcome. Thank you for that. Ken Skates.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Absolutely, yes. Okay. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Hywel.
