Can I just say something for the record, Huw? There is a ban on hand guns and semi-automatics.

Diolch, Cadeirydd.

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
The point is that if somebody is walking up to put a snare down or put a glue trap down, and they see somebody who looks like a bailiff or somebody who looks like an enforcer coming along, and they then put it back in their pocket or in their bag and don't…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Obviously, I don't agree with you, but my view is not of any importance. What I would ask, however, is: how are you going to catch people who put down snares? Because snares, by their very definition, are placed there and then left for some time when animals…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Well, why can't you bring it in for pre-made snares, then? It's not as far as I would like to go, but why can't you bring it in for pre-made snares? You said you could do that. Why don't you want to?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
I wasn't asking you to ban the materials, I was asking you to ban things that can be made as snares. Now, I think it ought to be done; you don't think it ought to be done. All I'm asking is why you don't think that possession of a snare should not be treated…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Well, we ban guns, don't we? And somebody with a printer can actually print a gun using information they can get off the internet, yet we still ban guns, even though they can be home made. Why is this different?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
The Bill prohibits the use of snares, glue traps and other cable restraints. Why haven't you extended that to the possession of snares et cetera? Because if you're possessing them, why would you possess them apart from intending to use them? Shouldn't that be…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Diolch, Cadeirydd. The first question I've got is: section 43 amends section 11(1) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to make it an offence to use certain devices in order to kill or take certain animals, or to use those devices where it is likely that…

Thank you.

I assume it was the justice impact assessment in relation to the Bill. Can you explain if the conclusion of that assessment has resulted in a change of approach in relation to the Bill?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
That's your justice impact assessment, so can you explain if the conclusion of that assessment has resulted in changes of approach in relation to the Bill?

Thank you very much. Apart from provisions relating to powers of entry, are they compliant with human rights requirements right the way across?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Thank you. Have you taken specific steps to limit the interference with the human rights of those affected by the Bill?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Diolch, Cadeirydd. The first question is—and all these questions are on human rights—what account have you taken of human rights in preparing the Bill, and what assessments have been undertaken in relation to the human rights impacts of the Bill?

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Water Quality
Diolch, Llywydd. Can I welcome the Minister's statement? The Minister is correct: over the next 20 years—in fact, the next 50 years—Wales faces wetter winters, hotter, drier summers, rising sea levels and more frequent and intense extreme weather events. Many…

Questions to the First Minister
I thank the First Minister for his reply. I've got allotments in my constituency that have benefited from the grants that have been available, but there are still very many people who want an allotment but cannot get one. The public sector in Wales, both…

And I think that employing a whole area full of agency staff is not spending the money well. But can I just ask you my last question, because Mark is going to shout at me in a minute? The emergency department at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd—is it improving?

I'll just say that money can be spent well or badly.

On finance, I was going to say, Betsi Cadwaladr has had lots of money given to them; they keep on having lots of money given to them. You've just told us why they can't break even, but they keep on filling the place with very expensive agency staff, which…
