Anybody else like to come in? Okay, from my point of view, I think option 1 is fine. We do need to write to the climate change committee, as this falls within their purview, to draw their attention to this petition. I probably would like to see their response…

Okay. So, I think we're agreed. Nobody else online has a comment. We're going to close this petition and write back to the petitioner with our findings. Okay. [Inaudible.] Sorry? [Inaudible.] Yes, closed. So, the next one is P-07-1577, 'Pause and withdraw…

There is still the political debate to be had, certainly, you know, in the Chamber—and various parties, including my own, are making that case. So, as far as the petition goes, I would agree that we need to write back to the petitioner to explain that local…

Yes, noted. And I think the response from the Deputy Minister for Transport is—. I'd agree with it, actually, that it would add complexity.

Okay. Would anybody else like to come in? Okay. So, option 1: the committee will write to the Climate Change, Environment, Sustainability and Rural Affairs Committee to invite that committee to consider the issue as part of its work programme for the seventh…

Okay. Do you have a recommendation that you'd like to make?

Okay. Thank you very much. Would anybody else like to comment on this one? Okay. From my point of view, I agree with the summarised action. I think it's the right one. The debate has been had, the battle has been won or lost, depending on your view. But I…

Okay. We'll come back to this one, then. Moving on, then, P-07-1591, 'Put a referendum to Wales asking "Do you want to reduce the number of MSs from 96 to 40?"' 'In May 2024 the Senedd members voted against having a referendum on the subject of expanding the…

Good. Moving on, then, to P-07-1614, 'NRW to begin routine dredging of Welsh rivers with the support of the Senedd'. 'Our routine dredging programme was downgraded in the 1990's mainly due to the EU Water Framework Directive. Since then our rivers have…

Let's check on the progress with the Minister, and get it through the other committees, and see where they are. But I do appreciate that this gentleman's obviously quite passionate about it, so deserves an answer.

Deisebau newydd
Yes, I accept that, and it's a good point. I think the fact that this has already been debated in Plenary once, I don't believe we should be forwarding this again, and I agree with what Vikki said there.

Okay. Thank you very much. Would anybody else like to comment?

That's noted, Elwyn. I think that, for me, is something that would be worth bringing up during the debate itself at Plenary. I think the decision for the committee today is: can we agree to take it forward so that those points can be brought out more fully?…

I completely agree, from my point of view. Anybody else like to come in? Happy with that? Okay. Elwyn.

Thank you. Noted. All agreed? Okay. We'll move on to P-07-1611, 'Allocate the full consequential funding to Additional Learning Needs (ALN)'. 'We call on the Welsh Government to allocate and ring-fence the £500m in consequential funding from English SEND…

Thank you very much. Would anybody like to come in on that one? I'll start. I'm not satisfied with the Cabinet Minister's response. I do feel that this petition has been batted off slightly. There are 12,154 people who have felt the need to sign a petition…

We also need a decision on this one as to whether or not to request a Plenary debate. I am minded to do so, but I would probably not do it immediately, not until we've heard from the WLGA on their current ability to seek enforcement. So, I think that we…

Would anybody else like to come in? No. Just from my point of view, obviously animal welfare is something that resonates strongly across Wales and it's something that we should be enforcing where we can. I think that the people of Wales will agree with that…
