Yes, exactly. We put it down. We also as well, by doing that, express the strong feelings of this committee to NRW.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I mean, what a signal to send, that Wales is closed, by closing some visitor centres. I think, in the particular case of Coed y Brenin, it’s got recognition globally as one of the top places to do mountain biking. Now, I don’t know too much…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I know the Welsh Government have done some recent consultations in relation to the draft mental health and well-being strategy. There's also the suicide and self-harm prevention strategy. So, these are things that, I think, we are still…

Diolch, Gadeirydd, a diolch, Peter. It is one of those things that you only realise you need when you need it, in my case at least, but there are plenty of people out there who need it on a far more regular basis. I agree with what Rhys said and the…

New Petitions
Yes. Diolch, Gadeirydd. I've got nothing really additional to add to that, other than that I don't think there's any discussion about abolishing the use of the word 'Wales' in this sense. I mean, I slip in and out of saying 'Cymru' or 'Wales', just by virtue…
, Petitions Committee
New Petitions
Yes. I'm just considering at this point, where the Welsh Government haven't changed their view, that perhaps there might be another avenue here via the Llywydd's office or the Commission, to see at the very least if we can start using 'Senedd' over 'Welsh…

New Petitions
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I’ve made my views on this in the past fairly clear. I support the use of 'Cymru' exclusively. This isn’t something that’s new or not practised elsewhere in the world. We know there’s similar debates happening in New Zealand and India. But…

I'd also as well highlight it with the relevant Minister, because I think this is important. If we want more people in work, if we want more people contributing to the local economy, whether that's working or getting involved in some cultural events, you have…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think, actually, this goes a lot further than just the ability to attend different music events or concerts; this goes across multiple different areas. From a work perspective, those who work in the hospitality industry are often…

New Petitions
I'd say both. Yes.

New Petitions
Yes. It was just to come in on what Peter said around the need to establish what are the avenues the petitioners can take here then, in this instance. They'll understand why, not just in this particular case, but I think other cases, in other constituencies…

New Petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I'm pretty sure that this has been a subject that the Petitions Committee has touched on before, and I know as well that there was a debate around I think it was the general principles of road safety, but with a specific focus on this area…

Finance Committee Debate: Welsh Government's spending priorities for the 2025-26 budget
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I would agree with the point that Jenny Rathbone had made in opening, with her remarks around the need to look at how we actually can govern more efficiently. I'd point towards the Development Bank of Wales and Business Wales. We have…
