Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
That's great, thank you very much. With those reporting points, are you happy to agree? We are. That takes us on, then, to an affirmative resolution instrument under item 3.3. It's SL(6)348, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (Consequential Amendments)…

Business Statement and Announcement
I'd like to seek an opportunity for the Counsel General to answer questions on the floor of this Siambr in respect of the implications for Wales of the misuse or even abuse of the controversial new Public Order Act 2023. The Metropolitan Police have today…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Perhaps, Chair, I can simply ask, rather than prolong this at the moment, that if any of you have any further thoughts, perhaps you could write to us. Is there anything significant on soundscapes that anybody wanted to raise with us now as it's shaped within…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Okay, thank you. In which case, I'm going to go to the meat of this, then, which is, from those—and you mentioned Tom and Steve, who perhaps know a little bit about this and have had a look at this—have you got any idea on the implications for local…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Would I be right, Matthew, in saying this is very much an emerging field of knowledge? So, you, as well as us, are going—

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Okay. Would anybody object to that idea of having an advisory panel, because this—? Go on, Matthew.
4 May 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Okay. I'll try and rattle through this. First of all, does anybody—I'm assuming you're all experts in soundscapes, because I'm going to have to get my head round this; we're trying to do it rapidly—object to the inclusion of soundscapes within this Bill? All…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Would that help you, to have that 'have regard', or whatever form of words—something that notes it—on the face of the primary legislation? As people who put this in to implement it, would it help you to have that clarity?

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Yes, I don't want to interrupt Jenny's line of questioning, but can I do the—? In the sort of rugby analogy, let me turn this question round, then—on the basis of that answer, why shouldn't some reference to WHO be on the face of the Bill? If that's always…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Thank you, all. Thank you, Chair. A slight diversion, but that's really helpful.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Thank you, Steve. Any—. We don't need to have everybody answer, but any dissenting voices, or anybody who wants to concur with what Steve was saying? Matthew, I don't know whether I could ask you.
4 May 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
And away from the legalese, you can see the pertinence of it to this Bill, clearly.
4 May 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
Thank you, Chair. And it's scope I want to turn to, related to active travel of all things. Now, the cross-party group on active travel have submitted some evidence to this, and they look at the scope of the Bill and the title of the Bill—Environment (Air…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 2
So, just an observation: it's interesting as you talk about how you bring these forward in parallel, and how they might overlap, the implementation of congestion charging zones or the equivalent, could well, if designed appropriately, also mitigate some of…
