Scrutiny of the Senedd Commission Draft Budget 2023-24: Evidence session
Manon or Nia—no? Okay. If I move on, then, just a little bit from that, in the light of recent announcements in the press around the outlook for public finances and public expenditure in the coming years, do you think that the estimate is reasonable and…

Papers to note
Certainly. I think, if you're content, we'll write, then, just thanking the Minister and the Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee for the letter. We've got quite a lot—it's a very detailed letter—but we'll also take on board what…

Papers to note
We'll move on to papers to note. We have two papers to note: a letter that we received last week before our session with the Ministers; I wanted to note that one, because we've already had that discussion. And then, we have a letter from the Chair of the…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement Bill: ministerial evidence session
