Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'm genuinely a glass-half-full person here today. Can I thank the Minister for bringing forward the statement, but also for her engagement as well, not just with the cross-party group on a clean air Act for Wales, but all of the…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, as you know, it always takes a few hours, a few days, for the dust to settle on the magic around any budget statement at the despatch box, but we now know that the International Monetary Fund has said we will have, in the year ahead, the…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
So, colleagues, unless there's anything in particular you want to raise on that, we will move now to item No. 6, which is our motion under Standing Order 17.42 to move into private and exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting so that we can go…

Papers to note
In which case, we'll move ahead, then, to our papers to note, and as we normally do, I'll read these into the order paper here, and if there's anything, please just shout at me or raise your hand. Otherwise, we can return to some of these in private session…

Inter-institutional relations agreement
That takes us on to item No. 4 in our public session where we have notifications and correspondence under the inter-institutional relations agreement. This is a regular part of our considerations, and under this item, we have one item to look at; it's…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Thank you, Kate, and I can see that all Members are nodding in agreement with that, so, yes, please, if you could add that, and we'll send that off as part of the agreed reporting points. Thank you very much.

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Thank you very much, Kate. So, relatively straightforward there. Are we happy with that reporting point? We are, thank you very much. So, it'll take us on to item 3.2, in the same part of the agenda here. We have SL(6)330, the Town and Country Planning (North…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Item No. 3, we have instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. We'll begin with item 3.1, it's a made negative resolution instrument, SL(6)329, the Council Tax (Exceptions to Higher Amounts) (Wales)…

Instruments that raise no reporting issues under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
In which case, we will move ahead to our regular items, the first of which, having noted James's apology today, is item No. 2, which is instruments that raise no reporting issues under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. We've got some here in front of us in your…

Is there anything else on the issue of transparency that we need to bottom out here? There are seven years—going back to my old HND studies about 50-odd years ago where we used to do this critical path analysis—working back from 2030. There are probably much…

So, you've had good support from them, with their expertise. It's going forward for reprocurement shortly. Would you have any suggestions, from your perspective, about, in that reprocurement design, what could perhaps be better? Should we introduce the more…

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Yes. It's just a good opportunity to follow up on that, because if that is the organisation that should have a more regional grip on this, as well, and bring partners together, including some of these more innovation tie-ins of different technologies that can…

Could I ask you whether all health boards, trusts, and the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership have all now published their decarbonisation action plans, as set out in the NHS strategic delivery plan, and if not, why not?

Sorry, I didn't mean to drag you down the transport—but specifically on the carbon cost within new build, against—. It's always tempting, and sometimes quite understandable, to say that, in order to get to the next generation of zero-carbon buildings and the…

Sorry, I know this isn't where you wanted me to be going, Chair, but it's fascinating, because if you look at the roads review at the moment, one of the things the roads review has taken into account is actually the carbon costs of building new roads…

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Yes. You've just thrown up two interesting things. One is, you've said on a couple of occasions now that one of your contingencies, one of the two main contingencies, is capital spend going forward, and it's going to get more acute. That hill's getting more…

Right. So, I take it as implicit within that answer that you'd like to see that greater clarity so that everybody knows what their share towards this should be, yes? I can see, Jonathan, you're nodding.
