Thank you. Pam.

Thank you. Before we move on to Pam and Dafydd, therefore, in your opinion is that part of the problem, when we can't—that authorities find it difficult to identify sites for Roma and Travellers?

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 3
Okay, thank you very much. We have heard from you already that there aren't sites in north Wales, or in Wales, in terms of people who want to move onwards, as it were, and you have said that there is a lack of sites in Wales in general. The evidence that…

Is there a technical member of staff that can check this?

Good morning, I'll be making my contribution in Welsh, so just to check that the equipment is working. It is for Carl. Could we just make sure that it works with Pam, please?

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 2
Before we turn to Allison—thank you, Jo—you said at the beginning of your response there about good examples. If you do have those examples, could you share them with us as a committee so that we can see what those examples are and how we can share that…

Thank you very much to you both. Chair, if I may ask one further question—I know I'm pushing myself here. But both of you have referred to listening and a lack of consultation, and that's my final point, and I want to expand on those issues, if you will…

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 2
Thank you very much. You raise a very important and interesting point there, something that some have already told us about in their evidence. And I'd like to perhaps expand on this point of the suitability of sites, before going on to talk about how much…

And Jo.

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 2
Thank you, Allison. If I can just ask further to that point on affordability. Some of us visited sites recently and we discussed with some residents, and one of the issues was that residents said that there was an electricity supply to the site—it was a…

Before we go on to Allison, one thing that you've raised there, Jo, is that you talk about the need for affordable sites. Could you define what you mean by that in terms of affordability, please?

Thank you, Carolyn. I will be contributing in Welsh, so can I just check once again that the interpretation is working? Excellent, yes. I'd just start by saying thank you very much for coming today. I'm sorry that I can't be in the room in person this…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
But I'm sad to say that, along with all of these individual problems that we all no doubt are aware of, I also have little faith in the stats and the data and information provided by the health board. For instance, the health board have informed the ombudsman…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Thank you to the Conservatives for bringing this debate forward; it's a very important debate. Back in 2013, I, Mark Jones and campaigners from Blaenau Ffestiniog, Prestatyn, Llangollen and Flint established the north Wales health alliance to oppose the…

It's all too apparent that a scenario has been created where there's a gap in protection from no-fault evictions between the emergency COVID regulations and the protection offered by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, which has now been delayed, as we've…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
I thank the Llywydd for that response. As you know, the nation is facing a very difficult time, as the cost-of-living crisis has an impact on people, pushing people into poverty, and terrible poverty in some cases. There will be increasing pressure on staff…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you for that response. The Queen's Speech mentions legislation on issues that are within the competence of our Senedd, such as the genetic modification Bill, for example. This will certainly mean that we will see more LCMs here, but as we know from…

Thank you for that response. I have a feeling that elements of this discussion will be aired again soon in this Chamber, but as we see a large decline in the number of our Members in Westminster, and hopefully more responsibilities coming over to this…
