Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the National Infrastructure Planning Association
Yes. Just for clarity, this would need to be legally expressed on the Bill that’s in front of us that is now subject to amendment. We’d also have to consider, of course, the unintended consequences of that. So, Heathrow is an interesting one, because, as long…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the National Infrastructure Planning Association

Questions to the First Minister

Thank you for that. We will move, then, on to item No.4, which is a regular item, again—the notifications and correspondence under the inter-institutional relations agreement. We have one item here to note, which is correspondence from the Minister for Rural…

Yes. There we are, we'll do that. Item 3.3, then, SL(6)381, the Firefighters' Pensions (Remediable Service) (Wales) Regulations 2023. Again, we have a draft report. The Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 makes provision to address age-based…
