Group 12: Soundscapes (Amendments 53, 54, 55, 56, 10, 58)
I'll withdraw, Chair, based on the assurances the Minister gave earlier in the debate.

Group 11: Office for Air Quality Protection (Amendment 52)
Indeed. Just in respect of amendment 52, I share the desire for having an environmental governance body set up in Wales, and we particularly need it in this post-EU scenario. We desperately need it to protect the rights of citizens across a wide range of…

Group 9: Smoke control areas (Amendments 77, 6, 7, 8, 9, 48, 78, 59, 14, 15, 16, 60, 17)
Thank you, Chair. I only speak in this because I think the amendments are provoking quite an interesting debate. I know that on the cross-party air quality group—again, several members of the committee are on that group—we've had some interesting evidence…

Group 7: National air quality strategy: Further requirements (Amendments 5, 42, 74, 75, 43)
Yes. A point of clarity, if I could ask you, Minister. The point you're making in respect of amendment 42, Janet's amendment, those individuals on organisations that are statutory consultees already, they're on the clean air advisory panel, but in separate…

Group 5: Active travel (Amendments 40, 73, 18, 41, 63, 64, 65)
Correct. [Laughter.]

Group 5: Active travel (Amendments 40, 73, 18, 41, 63, 64, 65)
—then we will work together in the spirit of this discussion to bring something forwards. We all put our amendments down, step away, and work together.

Group 5: Active travel (Amendments 40, 73, 18, 41, 63, 64, 65)
Yes, it's a point of clarity, Chair, because I think we've just invented something called a Senedd stand-off, but it's a nice stand-off. I just want to be clear what the Minister is suggesting: that, if we withdraw our amendments, he'll withdraw his…

Group 5: Active travel (Amendments 40, 73, 18, 41, 63, 64, 65)
So, the question we have to address, I guess, is: why do we need a provision in this Bill, when the active travel Act contains a specific clause on promoting active travel, and it should already be requiring Welsh Government and local authorities to promote…

Group 5: Active travel (Amendments 40, 73, 18, 41, 63, 64, 65)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. It's really good to see amendments down on active travel, because it was such a part of the evidence that we heard repeatedly. I just want to say right at the outset my thanks to the Minister for really good discussions that we've had on…

Group 4: Air quality targets: Reporting, reviews and monitoring progress (Amendments 31, 33, 34, 70, 71, 39, 4, 13)
Thank you. It's a point of clarification. Because amendment 4 and amendment 13—the consequential amendment—are really important in light of the earlier discussions and the amendments that were pushed and were supported, which Jenny put. So, I just want to…

Group 2: Air quality targets: Having regard to World Health Organization guidelines (Amendments 69, 85, 86)
Sorry, just a point to clarify: is amendment 27 consequential to amendment 20, which previously fell?

Questions to the First Minister
I thank you for that answer. I'm a great fan of the work of committees, because they have a real role in holding the Executive—all Executives, all Governments—to account. But in the six-page letter of this Conservative-chaired committee—17-strong, by the way…
