Thank you. As we understand it, the audit office undertakes a sustainable development principle examination at least once every five years. The fee of £30,000 would come out of the unallocated proportion of the £750,000 funding estimated for the food…

As I said, Rhianon, some of the stakeholder costs are unquantifiable as yet, because we won't be enacting the Bill. The nature and the shape of all of the constituent parts of it will be determined by the Welsh Government. We've allowed that flexibility in…

The Bill does not require any input from voluntary organisations or the private sector. The benefits, opportunities and costs on these organisations will result from the food plans, and obviously they would have to be produced afterwards. For example, it is…

Thank you, Rhianon. Providing an impact assessment over a five-year timescale has been the standard approach for Member legislation and also for the previous Finance Committee's Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2019, as I know Tyler talked about earlier…

We've been thorough in our engagement via consultation with all bodies throughout, and we've obviously received a really proactive response from them. I've had individual people, even chief execs from local authorities, who have been supportive and constantly…

Yes, thank you, Sam. A lot of bodies, as we've heard already, are doing a lot of work in this area already, and what we gained through some of the responses to the consultation was their overall support for what we're trying to do to try and join up the dots…

Thank you. Well, our approach while formulating the policy was to identify the key impacts and which type of organisations would be affected. Costs have been estimated on the basis of either figures provided by those organisations, costs based on advice that…

Thank you, Sam. Well, given the nature of the Bill—and, as I said earlier, I won't be enacting it as such—it would be for Welsh Ministers, and possibly the food commission, with their support, to analyse and quantify the actual cost savings. The food strategy…

Well, it's important to note that, whilst this could become law, the resources and access to information that we have had so far, compared to what the Welsh Government would likely have during the same process, is very different. We have done our best, if you…

We were challenged in—. I was challenged in a similar way by the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, by Members there, who wanted to know what my red lines were, and this, that and the other, and I think it's wholly inappropriate, really, for me…

Thank you, Mike. Obviously, our proposal was taken to the Senedd and they gave me leave to, and I have no choice but to bring this Bill forward, and I think it's right, anyway, to bring it forward in its current guise. It's for later Stages if people want to…

Can I supplement that bit, because Tyler prompted me there, actually? It was only a couple of weeks ago, in the last week of Sophie Howe's role, that I put the question to her: could her commission, could she absorb this work, could she do it? No way; she…

Well, taken as a whole, the Bill is intended to provide value for money by providing an opportunity for Welsh Ministers and public bodies to consider the policies and funding directed towards addressing food-related issues and whether existing resources could…

It was quite interesting, I did listen in to the Minister's contribution, and I think somebody challenged her as to what the cost of the existing set of legislative frameworks, linked to food is, and the Minister said that they can't make that assessment…

Yes, thank you, Chair. As we previously discussed, the Bill gives the Welsh Government adequate scope to set up arrangements flexibly within the framework of the Bill. I won't be the person who can enact this Bill, so, we've made it purposely in a framework…

Dadl Plaid Cymru: Datganoli treth incwm
Rwy'n deall bod yna drafodaeth bwysig i'w chael ynglŷn â sut rydym yn ariannu gwasanaethau yma yng Nghymru ac mai amrywio lefelau trethi yw'r ateb i wleidyddion wrth edrych ar godi refeniw ychwanegol, ond ni ddylem anghofio faint o gyllideb Cymru, tua £4…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg
Diolch. Roedd yn ddefnyddiol clywed hynny. Weinidog, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r gwaith achos yr ysgrifennais atoch yn ei gylch yn y gorffennol, sy'n cyffwrdd â fy nghwestiwn gwreiddiol—. Y prif fater a gafodd ei ddwyn i fy sylw oedd nad oes cyfeirio syml ar…
