Darlledu gwasanaeth cyhoeddus yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gweinidog Gwladol y Cyfryngau, Twristiaeth a’r Diwydiannau Creadigol
Just very, very briefly back to the media Bill, obviously there'll be a requirement for public service broadcasters to have prominence on devices and platforms, or whatever. We had evidence from S4C a couple of weeks ago—the negotiation between the BBC and…

But also, given what we've been talking much about this morning around the need to reflect the different component parts of the United Kingdom, and different interests—and I'm particularly interested in the relative importance compared to other parts of the…

Yes—sports rights. We mentioned earlier, didn't we, the importance of cultural expression and, of course, I'm just wondering what assessment you've made of the relative importance of, let's say, rugby, to us here in Wales, and how could that be better…

Just to point out that, since 2010, S4C has seen a 30 per cent real-terms decrease of its funding; BBC 25 per cent. So, it's disproportionately hitting S4C, isn't it, that's the point.

So, do you share the concern, then, that the way this is reported by Ofcom very often means that—? You know, they report the year after broadcast, meaning that the commissioning happened maybe two or three years before, and by the time you get to time of…

Just finally, then, if I may. You touched on production and programming moving out of London, et cetera. I know that you've been in correspondence with TAC, Teledwyr Annibynnol Cymru, the independent production companies in Wales, on their concerns about…

And when you contrast, I have to say, the situation in Scotland, where you have BBC Scotland broadcasting every night, where you have an hour-long news programme—not necessarily something we have to replicate—but you look at the level of budget, and then I…

—is a matter of opinion. But it does, does it not, underline that there is an insufficient broadcast service in Wales, because otherwise, you know, this wouldn't be the case, would it? I mean, you can't say that that's acceptable, can you, surely?

And I get that, but we do have a situation, and I saw a recent YouGov poll that showed that a third of people in Wales a quarter of a century into devolution still don't appreciate that the Welsh Government are responsible for health in Wales. A third…

But isn't putting the responsibility on the BBC rather absolving yourself of responsibility for making sure that, actually, Wales hears its own story?

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Yes. Our officials will check the Record. And you will be sent a transcript, by the way, of the Record just to check for accuracy. So, with that, diolch yn fawr iawn. Thank you.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Yes, okay. I'm sure we can consider that. Yes, okay—thank you. And finally, then, from me—and maybe Members might have other things they wish to raise—could you maybe set out how the findings of the recent NSIP review in England have been taken into account…

Okay. And the transfer of legislative competence to the Senedd for consenting of offshore energy generation stations between the edge of the Welsh zone and the territorial sea—can you clarify the Senedd's ability to legislate also in respect of energy…

And I think the message that you stand ready to support planning authorities if and when such a need arises is reassuring, I think, isn't it? Yes. Okay. Fine. Just a couple of questions, then, to conclude on discussions and dialogues with UK Government…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Okay. Thank you, Joyce. Just a couple of questions on enforcement, then. Local planning authorities have told us that the enforcement provisions in the Bill aren’t clear enough. For example, they say it’s unclear who should commence proceedings—whether it's…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Indeed, and we'll no doubt be talking about that quite soon, I hope, as well. Okay, we'll move on to Joyce.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd
Okay, thank you. We've seen in England—and we've spoken about loss of biodiversity—obviously, there's a requirement for a net gain of 10 per cent. RSPB Cymru has suggested to us that, maybe, this is an opportunity for the Government to push for, maybe, 20 per…
