Papers to note
I'll ask us, therefore, to move on to item 6, namely we need to note a number of papers. There are papers to note, from 6.1 to 6.8. I'll propose that we note them altogether, unless anybody wants to draw attention to any particular one. No. Everyone's…

Thank you. We're going to have to move on, I'm afraid, Jenny. We've got eight minutes left. I'll ask Huw to come in at this point.

Yes, okay. Thank you, Jon. Very briefly, Dan, and then we are going to have to move on, because we've only got 15 minutes left and we've got a lot of stuff to cover. Dan.

Okay. Jon.

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 4
Okay. We are going to have to make progress, I'm afraid. So, Joyce, if you'd allow me, I think Janet wanted to ask one question around planning and consenting, and then we'll come on to Jenny to talk about the grid. Janet, did you want to come in?

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 4
Okay. Thank you. I'm conscious we didn't allow Jon to come in on this. So, Jon next. I know Sarah wants to come in as well, and then I'll come to you, Huw, who wants to pick up on something. Jon.

Okay. And maybe the emphasis would be different, in terms of onshore and offshore—that is possibly true. Jenny, you're very keen to come in, I think.

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 4
Thank you, Tom. Just to interject, if I may, I agree somewhat with what you're saying, but I honestly thought that we were beyond these—I don't want to say tokenistic funding schemes, but, really, for me, surely it must be about the local community having a…
