Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
And just—. Sorry, I said that was my final one, but on the basis of what you're saying, Minister, will that be an objective decision or will it be a subjective decision for planning officers to decide in concert with developers, to say, 'That looks pretty…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Solar and wind—interesting. Just one final question on this. You mentioned there the pre-application aspect. Are you in a position at the moment, or are you still bolting this down, as to whether, if you have pre-application consultation work done under the…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
It's good to hear that it's well under way in the discussions, but, clearly, there are some loose ends to tie up there. Tell me: are you seeing a rush of applications to get beyond the pre-application stage? Are you picking up that there are developers…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Yes, yes. How soon do you think, subject to the Bill going forward, how soon after the publication of the Bill will you be able to produce those draft regulations—clarity—so that developers can decide which way to go?

Questions to the Minister for Economy
I thank the Minister for that response and for mentioning Tata as well, but I want to focus on something else, because flip-flopping on a UK level on a clear trajectory to net zero has real implications for green growth and for green jobs as well, and that…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill
You make a really good point. We can't fathom the reasons why, beyond that there isn't a gap at the moment, perhaps a parallel Bill couldn't have been brought forward, but it may be a range of reasons. You hold out the potential of bringing forward something…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill
Diolch yn fawr iawn. Moreover, the Minister emphasised in memorandum No. 4 that the Welsh Government is still of the view that the Senedd could pass equivalent provisions to those contained within Part 1 of the Bill, and referenced the need to use…

Thank you for that answer. It's good to see that there is a sharing of understanding of what best practice is in different areas, and so on. But, even though we have asymmetric devolution and asymmetric bodies throughout the UK, I wonder whether there is…
