Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Well, I'm concerned that the Cabinet Secretary didn't understand my question, because I was asking about the museum of north Wales, namely, the proposed museum that the Government included in its programme for government, that you would create. That's what I…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Cabinet Secretary, where are we with the bus Bill? Could you outline the timetable? Because I was under the impression that we would have seen it by now. It may well have been tabled or it would have been imminent. If there is to be a delay as well, maybe you…

Indeed. Thank you very much. Thank you to the two of you for your attendance this morning and for the evidence that you've shared with us. The three sessions, actually, have set us up nicely for next week when we'll be pursuing some of the points that you've…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 3
Sure, and we've already heard that as well from others. So, it's certainly something that we will want to consider as a committee. Okay. You've also touched on other potential legislation and policy changes that you would be keen for us to pursue, so I won't…
