Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Right. Okay. I can see Dafydd shaking his head as well. We'll get into some more detail on that in a moment. But could I ask—? We've got procurement going on all over the place at the moment, Bills coming out of our ears. Given that the UK Government's…

So you're content that, in terms of the engagement that you've had, the discussions you've had with UK Government Ministers, they're in a happy place with the proposals here as well, yes?

Papers to note
So, if we're happy to note that, we'll go on, then, to item No. 5, papers to note. Now, there are a few here, and as per normal, if that's okay, I'll rattle through, but stop me if there's something that you want to raise. Item 5.1, we have a written…

We'll move on, then, to item No. 4, a regular item for us—the common frameworks. Again, we have one item under this. It's item 4.1, correspondence from the Minister for Climate Change in respect of the UK emissions trading scheme common framework. It's a…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Minister, I really welcome the support that has been given by Welsh Government and local authorities and local communities, indeed, and voluntary organisations to all of our Ukrainian friends. It's a gift that we receive in providing hospitality, not a burden…

The Welsh Government roads review and funding for Wales' bus networks - scrutiny of the Deputy Minister for Climate Change
If the UK Government, of course, who've hit the cliff edge sooner, decide to actually inject some money, then that might give you some temporary breathing space again, but what I wanted to ask you was on the point that was made about coming out of this over…

The Welsh Government roads review and funding for Wales' bus networks - scrutiny of the Deputy Minister for Climate Change

The Welsh Government roads review and funding for Wales' bus networks - scrutiny of the Deputy Minister for Climate Change
That is really interesting, because there's been a lot of screaming about the announcement and the Welsh Government's response to the road review, accepting the recommendations, basically putting a complete halt on some schemes, others saying 'Come back and…

The Welsh Government roads review and funding for Wales' bus networks - scrutiny of the Deputy Minister for Climate Change
I deliberately phrased my opening remarks and question by saying we don't start from a clean sheet. We've got some schemes that are semi under way, and some schemes have been on the board for years. They didn't work along those 4x4 criteria and challenges…
