Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Thank you very much. That's helpful. And a final question: I've looked at the timetable—so, returning to the timetable—you won't start the process until August next year. Could I ask why the process won't start before then? We've heard some concerns about the…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Thank you very much. But this is entirely unique, with the Welsh language and Welsh names of constituencies. So, it is different to everything else, as I understand it. Have you thought about the role of the Welsh Language Commissioner? Following on from what…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales
Thank you very much. I'm going to ask my questions in Welsh as well. To return to Heledd's question about the role of the commissioner, is there best practice anywhere across the world that shows us exactly how to do this? I'm also somewhat concerned about…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
Thank you very much. Just one final question. You mentioned the local authorities and the role that they play in this picture. Who is responsible for providing information about the new system and the new boundaries to the local authorities? How are they…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
Thank you very much. Just one other question, and we were talking about this earlier as well. We have a new system where we pair the constituencies, and that's a completely new system for us all, if truth be told, this pairing system. I just want to know…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
So, could I just confirm, if that's okay, that you are slightly concerned, if the timetable moves a little, that there won't be enough time, in your view, to ensure that the process is delivered for the election in 2026? You're slightly concerned—is that fair?

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
I want to ask questions on the boundary reviews. The first question is whether you have any views on the timetable for the constituency boundary review ahead of the 2026 Senedd election. That's the first question. And then, there's an intention to have time…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission
Yes, thank you very much. There are great changes coming in, aren't there, and we want to ask questions about the boundaries as well. So there's this new voting system, and there's a new system regarding boundaries and new constituencies. Do you have any…

Thank you very much. I don't know the answer to this, but could I ask if you were responsible for providing the information for the last Senedd when 16 and 17-year-olds could vote for the first time?

Group 7: Regulation of smoke and fuel in smoke control areas (Amendments 62, 71, 81, 82)
I'd like to put on record all of my thanks to those who've brought this before our Senedd today, particularly to Joe Carter and those at Healthy Air Cymru, who've worked so hard to get this to where it is today. This is the only time I'm going to speak…

Good afternoon, Minister. I wonder if I could request two statements, please. One is from the Minister for Climate Change on the issue of building safety remediation costs, which are currently and still continue to be passed on to residents in properties with…

Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. As Sam Kurtz says, we went to this round-table, and it is quite inspiring, the plans that they have for renewable energy in that particular area, which obviously covers Mid and West Wales as well. So, just focusing on one of…

Thank you. I wonder if I could just pick up something with you, please, Dr Jones, because you said in your written evidence that the Welsh Government cannot really deliver change in this area without the support of its partners from the criminal justice…

Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Cadeirydd. I really wanted just to hone in on the disproportionate number of black people who are in our prison system. We know it's around 28 per cent across England and Wales, and yet they represent around 18 per…

Thank you. I'm sure we'll look that up. It's still concerning, and I'm sure we can find that report, but I wonder if it's that training or awareness raising, funding for that across the services that may respond to people who have mental health issues. But…

Thank you. I just wondered if I could just follow up on that, if that's okay. I'm just interested in this issue around mental health and diversity. I think it's right that black women are far more likely to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 than…
