Do you think, Tim, therefore, that the WLGA has a role to play in providing that consistency of data?

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 4
Okay. Thank you. I assume nobody else wants to comment on that. No. Okay. Thank you. I think, to be honest with you, at the moment, on the assessment process and the data, it feels like at the moment it's hard to know what the truth is in terms of what is the…

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 4
Thanks, Chair, and good afternoon, everybody. I appreciate your time with us this afternoon. I was just going to touch on the accommodation assessment needs process. I just wonder whether you think it currently works. Is it fit for purpose?

Thanks. I don't know if Dafydd wants to comment further.

Okay, thanks. Sorry, I think Pam was next in terms of the previous questions around the relationship with the local authorities.

Perhaps before Pam comes in, could you just help me understand that a little bit more, Carl? I understand, technically, why it necessarily can't be done with colleagues in England, but we'll know about the transient movement through north Wales into—I…

That's really helpful, thanks. It does point, perhaps, to another issue, which we as a committee, I understand, will be considering in future, which is around the number of partnership-type boards that now exist at various levels, whether it's PSBs, regional…

Thanks, Chair, and thanks, everyone, for joining us this morning. Your time is really appreciated. We've probably already started to cover some of points that I was perhaps going to raise with you around the assessment of accommodation needs. But just picking…

Genuinely, it would be helpful to have some really good examples. Sorry, I'm not trying to be facetious.

Thanks. And perhaps just one more question, if I may, Chair. Where do you think does this best in Wales?
, Local Government and Housing Committee
Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 2
Yes, absolutely, but my point is that the officers think they are. So, what is it about their approach that isn't ticking that—or satisfying the community?
, Local Government and Housing Committee
Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 2
That's really, really helpful, and it's just triggered something in my mind, because, when I was leading a council, we did put in place a permanent Gypsy and Traveller site, but one of the big challenges on that was actually that the funding mechanism for…

Yes, thanks, Chair. And good morning and thank you, Jo and Allison, for your attendance this morning—it's really appreciated. I just wanted to start just by, actually, supporting some of the comments you made very early on in terms of that relationship and…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your response. I must say it was a pleasure to see you also at the gun salute here in Cardiff Bay last week, and your support for veterans, I know, is appreciated. But recently I also had the pleasure of meeting the Royal…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Of course, levelling-up funding is crucial to how we will work in the future here in Wales, because there's so much that can be done to help regenerate our high streets, our town centres, tackling crime, antisocial behaviour, and this money can make a real…
