Okay, good. Well, anything you can continue to share with us on that, we'd be very grateful for. James.

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thanks, Alun. Minister, I'm going to bring James in now to probe a little bit further here, but can I just ask—? There are two aspects to the data. One is, as you rightly flag, and as external commentators have flagged, the sharing of data in terms of what…

Okay. That's great. Thank you. Peredur, okay? Yes. Alun.

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
I'm going to pass towards Alun, but you've been at pains in your opening section here, in answer to Peredur, to say that—. And we'll take up some individual issues with portfolio holders, other Ministers, dealing with aspects of justice and the way the…

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thanks, Peredur. Before I bring Alun in, Minister, one of the areas that is covered by your portfolio is the work that's ongoing with the Welsh Government justice transformation programme, formerly the justice commission in Wales, and so on, which includes…

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
That's good to hear. Thanks, Alun. Peredur, over to you. We're going to delve deeper now into justice and the draft budget.

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you, Counsel General. Peredur, before I bring you in, can I just—Alun, you wanted to come in on this.

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
So, as we don't have any apologies, we can move directly to item No. 2 on the agenda. It's our first substantive item here, and it is the Welsh Government's draft budget for 2023-24, particularly focusing on spending in relation to justice, and general…

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
I think it's just really interesting that when we get beyond the issue of charging points per se, and we get into the wider transformation of how we travel, where we travel, then things like community car clubs become really interesting, but they are a…

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Yes, purely—. You had an interesting choice of words there, that the grid capacity may not be enabling people to step into a particular area. The converse of that is it's constraining. So, can I just try and unwrap that a little bit? Is it constraining…

You think those should be somehow reflected in more updated KPIs or something.
12 January 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Tell us how that would work, how we deal with that social justice issue. Because if we leave this to the private sector in terms of the roll-out, in terms of liaising where these are, and so on, but typically the price and the affordability, I can't see it…

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Okay. I think I've gone far enough on that, because I think colleagues, Chair, will take this forward. Thank you.
12 January 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Thanks for that, and I know that colleagues are going to come back, Chair, on the issue of grid issues generally. But let me go a little bit further with this, and perhaps open it up to our other two witnesses by asking them for their views on both the…

I wonder if I could put the same question to our National Grid witness as well.
12 January 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Could I begin by asking our colleague from SP Energy Networks whether you consider the delivery of the Welsh EV charging strategy's 2025 vision is achievable and on target?

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
From a planning perspective, where are they charging their car? From what I'm hearing from you, they're walking probably two to five minutes away to a communal area where they're charging their car, which is a big cultural shift, I have to say, from parking…

What does charging look like for that individual living on that street?

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
Can I just ask you—? We've got various deadlines set in stone—2025, 2030, 2035. Then we've got the phasing out of any sale, at a UK level, of hybrid and petrol and diesel vehicles and so on, so things are going to change quite rapidly. What does it look like…

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
My question, Chair, was primarily to do with local authority, but can I abuse the opportunity just for a moment?
12 January 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
Chair, I wonder if I could just follow up on the one unanswered part of my question—and my apologies, because I began with it and then went off into this wider future scoping thing—the issue of social justice and how, as we look to roll this out, if we accept…
12 January 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
It's on that and a related point; I want to ask you both this question. It seems that this is a technology where primarily it's going to be driven by early adopters, more affluent people, people who are willing to take a calculated financial risk to invest in…

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 1
That's great.
12 January 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 1
Thank you. I'm nervous about even asking this, but we always deal with the challenge that's immediately ahead of us, so we're focusing on the roll-out of EV points, the right ones in the right place at the right quantum and so on, and all of those things, and…
