Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
You talk about a twenty-first century standard; are we going to have to wait until the twenty-second century for it happen? It would be worth knowing what sort of timescales you’re looking at there and what sort of conversations you’re having on that. The…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
I'm not sure you agree that we should be getting that bit as well. I agree with you on that, but £350 million is very different from £5 billion or £4 billion, and imagining what that could do to help the legacy of underinvestment in our own railway network…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
Diolch yn fawr. Cabinet Secretary, we've recently heard from your counterpart in Westminster, the Secretary of State for Transport, Louise Haigh. She said that the HS2 railway line is very likely to run to London Euston and that it would make absolutely no…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 10
And one of the things within the legislation will be to look at a boundaries review post 2026. So, if we were to go down this route and to do—. In the first instance, would you be in favour of 10 per cent in both, post 2026, before any new changes, and then…

Just, maybe, to clarify what Sam was saying, our new regions would be, effectively, two Westminster constituencies. So, I suppose the question is: should it be 10 per cent in both constituencies, similar to what you were explaining earlier, that you need…

Okay. With a trigger, did you give any consideration to somebody changing or leaving a political party as a potential trigger for recall? And then in the second part, if you think that wouldn’t be a trigger, but somebody was sitting as an independent or…

Well, no, not automatically 'you're out', but that there is a vote of the Members of the Parliament to say 'yes' or 'no', that you've transgressed badly enough—

If somebody had done something, and they had a suspended sentence of eight months, for example, so they've triggered the recall bit, and our equivalent committee in Scotland then finds that they've breached the rules, did you consider that that would be…

Did you consider whether or not those triggers were sufficient with, potentially, a supermajority vote in the Scottish Parliament to be able to remove somebody, rather than go down the by-election route?

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 10
I wasn't suggesting that it would be invalid. It was just the practicalities of turnout. Looking at the triggers that you have—so, you have the same triggers as Westminster—did you consider any other triggers as you were going through this, or is that beyond…

Hello, Graham. Thanks for this. It's good to tease some of these things out, because you've done a lot of thinking about this. So, as a practical example and looking at—. You mentioned yourself, if something happened like this for you and you were going…

In the same way as the conversations you're having with the health Secretary around, possibly, winter pressures, are you having that sort of conversation with the transport Secretary to say, 'Well, with these big capital projects, how's the profile looking?'…
