So, are you proposing that we capture that in the session in the new year, in January, or that we write to them in the interim, just re-emphasising those points?

Thank you. The third paper to note, then, relates to correspondence from the Welsh Government director general of the economy, energy and transport group, following up on Cardiff Airport, and actions from the committee's evidence session on the airport on 19…

Okay. Diolch. Perhaps you could incorporate that in discussions with the other two committees and otherwise capture that for the future work on this matter, after that report is published.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Can you not see that we're at risk of repeating history if we continue to increase borrowing in this way and the markets lose confidence? We could end up with bigger cuts, as were forced upon us—

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Thank you. You've referred to a few historical budgets that I'd be happy to debate, but there isn't time. Gordon Brown ignored international warnings, including from the IFS, that if he continued to increase borrowing faster than the growth rate of the…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
Diolch. Labour Welsh Governments slashed funding for housing from 1999, ignoring repeated warnings of a housing crisis, and setting in train the housing supply crisis, which has led to almost 140,000 people on social housing waiting lists now. The 2012 UK…
