Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language: The UK Budget
As we've heard today, and as you've said, this budget is to be welcomed, and it's very much a step in the right direction on the road to recovery from the age of austerity, but we recognise the reality that there is a long path ahead when it comes to…

Thanks. I think we have run out of time now. I don't know whether Sam had any pressing issues, because you—. Great. Okay. That leads me to say 'diolch yn fawr', thank you very much, to you both for your time this morning. A copy of the transcript will be…

Thank you. Peredur, I am going to turn to you and see if you want to pick up very briefly and cover some of the questions or concerns around the procedure part of this.
, Standards of Conduct Committee
Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Thanks. I'm conscious we are at the end of our time. Do you have a couple of minutes just so one of our Members can perhaps touch on things around procedure before we wrap up?

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Thanks. I saw that Adam indicated to come in on the back of that. Perhaps, Adam, you'd like to pick up on definitions, as well, at the same time, to get us started, because I'm keen to cover other areas and I'm conscious that time is running. So, Adam.

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
And just one final point from me before I bring others in. I think you've touched on it, both of you, in your previous responses around trust in politics and a potential offence acting as a deterrent. So, would you say from your perspective you see the…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Just on that last point, do you have a view on, if an offence were to be introduced, what that should look like, whether it should be criminal or civil or whether there should be a scale dependent on the matter in question?
, Standards of Conduct Committee
Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Thanks, both. Can I ask at the outset if you think—? I know about the workshop you've done and the work around it. Can I ask, perhaps from a practical perspective, for your views on what measures or mechanisms could be used to address the issue of deception…
