Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Thank you, Chair. I just want to talk quickly about implementation. The Royal Town Planning Institute Cymru told us that the timescale for implementation, as set out in the explanatory memorandum, is very underestimated, given the extent of the legislation…

Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Everything is done with the best of intentions, but we don't want to get into a situation where someone says, 'Well, that's been changed because maybe X and Y person was sat there and wanted a change for said reason.' Okay, thank you.

Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Okay. One more. Obviously we're not going to get the minutes or anything from that—that's what I'm getting back from you. But maybe something for the Counsel General: perhaps as we go through, there are going to be other areas of consolidation, and when we do…

Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Can I just come back? My personal view is that Cadw is a public body, and if people are doing work that has changed the law, changing definitions with wording, I think it is right that the people who may have concerns about the wording change get some…

Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Thank you, Chair. I just want to talk a little bit about transparency. In a letter to us in October, you said that reference to a building of 'outstanding' interest being changed to refer to 'special interest' was being made for consistency and clarity, and…

Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
That's really positive news. Thank you, Counsel General, for that. CLA Cymru have also raised concerns that section 90(4) of the Bill does not accurately reflect the current position, particularly the requirement in existing regulations for an assessment of…

Thank you. I want to move on to buildings of special architectural or historic interest. The CLA had some views and opinions on this. CLA Cymru believes that section 76(5) should expressly state that only structures ancillary to the listed building are…

Can I just quickly just follow on from that? You talked about competence issues. What discussions are you having, then, with the other Governments around competence issues, to make sure, if we do bring this legislation forward, that there aren't the snags and…

Lovely. And finally from me for the moment, Counsel General: I want to talk about elements that are excluded from the Bill, of legislation. In your letter to us, dated 28 October, you said that the accessibility of law for the marine historic environment was…

Thank you, Counsel General. I've got some more questions for you; you've heard a lot from us today. In your letter to us in September, we asked you what the status will be of subordinate legislation made under the Acts that are being consolidated, and we…

Historic Environment (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Okay, thank you. I just want to ask you a couple of questions now about changes that you made during the process of consolidation. When you wrote to us in August, you said some references to what an authority considers 'appropriate' have been retained in the…

Thank you, Counsel General. We previously asked you about a new power of entry in section 152(4) of the Bill. Notwithstanding your view that the absence of this power in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 was an oversight, have…

Thank you, Chair. The explanatory memorandum for the Bill describes assessments you have undertaken as regards the Welsh language, equality, children and justice. We've previously asked you about section 2(3) of the Bill, which relates to the meaning of…

Debate on the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee Report—'Annual Report 2021/22'
As a newish member of this committee, it really has been an eye-opener for me, being a part of the committee, to the legislative process of the Senedd and all the inter-governmental working and the sheer breadth of the work the committee does. I'd just like…

There is much to welcome in this report and I'd like to thank the committee and its members, led by my colleague Paul Davies, for their work on producing this fantastic report. As the report points out, there were fearful predictions of mass unemployment…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
I'd like to thank Jack Sargeant for raising this vitally important question. As he did, I'd like to take this moment just to thank Joyce Watson for all her long-continued work in this area; she's an absolute champion for the White Ribbon campaign…

Debate: Support for the Armed Forces Community
Firstly, I'd like to thank the Government for bringing forward this debate. For me and for many, this week is the most important week that we have the whole year. It's a time when we can all come together to reflect in silence on the huge human sacrifice that…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
No, just for Llyr and Carolyn's point here: I think it does state in there that the regulation is not bilingual. Alun, I think it's something that we've been pushing on on the committee, haven't we, to actually get the bilingual legislation. If it is required…

Okay. Thank you. You did make the case for the creation of a student mental health passport. Do you think that there's more that higher education could do to encourage and improve date sharing between health and education providers, or is this something that…

Thank you, Chair. I've got two questions. The first question is: the mental health university liaison service in Cardiff is a good example of how joined-up working can actually deliver great outcomes for people who are suffering with mental health. So, how do…

I've got two questions but I'll try and roll them all into one in the interests of time. Do you think university staff understand the boundaries between the responsibilities they have with regard to mental health within the student population and what the NHS…
