COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Would it be possible to update this committee in terms of the progress in that area, please?

Okay.

But they're a key organisation for Wales in this group.

COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Absolutely. And in terms of the evidence from Race Council Cymru, they did say that they hadn’t been contacted. Is that in play, or are there plans to do that, in terms of their ability to also disseminate information?
15 Ionawr 2026 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Thank you for underscoring that. In regard, then, to the evidence from Race Council Cymru that was given to this committee—and the learnings are ongoing, as we’ve spoken of previously, and we’ve talked about data sets that were missing originally—what…

Good.

COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
I'm very pleased to hear that.

COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
I think it would be useful to update this committee, Chair, I think, when the local resilience forums are publishing their local risk registers, and when we next formally update, even though it's not public, the risk register that you said. I'm going to move…

COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Sorry to interrupt, but in regard to identification of the dynamic vulnerable group category, are we using all of our data to do that, or are we just relying on the local resilience forums, or both?
15 Ionawr 2026 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
So, it's a live document. So, when I ask a question around when is it going to be updated next, would you be able to answer that, or is it continually—?
15 Ionawr 2026 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Diolch, Chair. Thank you for your commentary so far. In regard to the updating of the current risk register, how have you identified and assessed the vulnerable groups—and there are many across Wales—within the current document? I'm presuming from what has…
15 Ionawr 2026 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Okay, thanks.

COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
On that particular point, in terms of that not wanting to fetter, when you're dealing with—. For instance, none of us would like to see a pandemic, a terrorist attack or anything occurring simultaneously across Wales, but that has to be planned for. So, is…

COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Okay. Thank you.
15 Ionawr 2026 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
COVID-19: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gwir Anrhydeddus Eluned Morgan AS, Prif Weinidog Cymru
Bearing in mind—and this isn't in my line of questioning, Chair; I don't see it anyway—the disproportionate impact on our black and ethnic minority communities and that historical lack of data, and I'm not going to stray into that, but how are we actually…

Papurau i'w nodi
I'm content to note, Chair.

Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
I've got one final question. What are the thoughts on the Welsh Government's modelling of the levy impact, potentially, on accommodation providers in Wales, and what additional modelling, in terms of that ability to plan and forecast and project do you feel…
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
I mean, I think we don't want to have a conversation around things that are subjective at this point. I think, in terms of the use of that additionality, the No. 1 reason would be marketing in terms of your local provision and marketing of your amazing…
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Exactly, yes. And so, basically, what you're saying is that it's really difficult at this point to be able to judge that in terms of this being an iterative process. Is there any further comment on that point?
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
No, no problem at all. So, it's really around the challenges of cross-border, and how you see that working.
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
That's the context, yes. So, when I say 'voluntary', it would be having to be put forward and accepted locally, obviously.
30 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
To be decided by local authorities.

Bil Llety Ymwelwyr (Cofrestr ac Ardoll) Etc. (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Thank you so much for your comments so far. I'm going to examine a little bit more in terms of impacts of the levy—obviously, it's a voluntary levy, which will be instigated or not locally—on competitiveness and any unintended outcomes of the Bill, which you…
