Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, the difficulty with this and the lack of engagement is the lack of fit within the policy framework in Wales, with the future generations Act, our approach to economic investment, our approach to jobs and skills and our approach to developing…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
And that brings us, faster than we expected, in the absence of the ministerial evidence today, to a motion under item No. 6, under Standing Order 17.42, to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting so we can get on with some substantial…

Papers to note
We'll go on now to item No. 5, papers to note. We have, first of all, item 5.1, correspondence from the Chair of the Common Frameworks Scrutiny Committee in respect of the common frameworks programme. This is the letter from the Chair of the House of Lords…

Written Statements under Standing Order 30C
Thanks, Alun, and I can see colleagues nodding with that as well. So, I think we're in agreement there and on the necessity to articulate exactly why we're picking this up and the explanation that we're requiring from Ministers. Thank you, Gareth, and thank…

Written Statements under Standing Order 30C
Thank you, Gareth. I wonder if I could open this out to Members. Whilst the Government will, understandably, in this situation argue this is relatively a technical matter, it's a Government-to-Government matter and for expediency and efficiency they've chosen…

Written Statements under Standing Order 30C
We will go on, then, to item No. 4, written statements under Standing Order 30C. Under this, we have item 4.1, WS-30C(6)003, the Animal Health, Plant Health, Seeds and Seed Potatoes (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2021. This statement provides…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Thank you, Gareth. Thank you very much for that. So, can I ask Members: are we happy to agree the reporting points there? We are. Thank you very much.

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
That's lovely. Thank you, Gareth. So, I'll assume that all of us are content with agreeing the reporting points there. We are. Thank you for that. So, we go on to item 3.2, which is SL(6)072, the Valuation for Rating (Wales) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
That brings us straight then, directly, to item No. 3, which is instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. Under this, under item 3.1, we have one made-negative resolution, which is SL(6)068, the Development…

Legislative Consent Memoranda on the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill and the Building Safety Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Now then, we were expecting to have an evidence session today with the Minister for Climate Change on the legislative consent memoranda on the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill and the Building Safety Bill. Unfortunately, we've had notice—and we do wish her…

But what is your take on the quality of that engagement in the UK, or, let's say, at the moment, in England? I doubt it'll be much different in Wales.

Climate adaptation
Thank you, Chair. Janet's point is absolutely right, and yet I'm still facing requests from town-centre traders in my constituency to pull up trees, because they're an interference with their shop frontages, their whatever. We really have to actually do more…

Could I just do a short follow-up on that, Llyr, because I know other people have got questions as well? I think your analysis is right on a UK perspective, that DEFRA is such an important department, but, often, in the pecking order of Whitehall, it comes…

Thank you, Chair. It's interesting, in that response there, that you don't have any role. I just wonder whether you think that we should be encouraging the Welsh Government to engage further with you in terms of the monitoring and evaluation of progress. But…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Spiking
Let's be clear: it is only men who are involved in spiking. It's only men who are raping and abusing women after rendering them unconscious; it is a men problem, not a women problem. Yet we are now in a situation where women are being told how they can make…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Can I commend, genuinely, the leadership that's been shown by Welsh Government and all Ministers, not just now but in the run-up to COP as well? It has been fantastic to see. We've got a lot more to do—a lot more to do—but we hope that that same leadership is…

Audit Wales—Scrutiny of the Estimate 2022-23 and Interim Report: Evidence session
Can I just say that there were some smiles as I mentioned that 98 per cent, and I think those smiles are smiles born by hard experience over recent periods I suspect? But thank you for that answer, and also for the way that you have actually recognised the…
