Thank you very much. I've finished, thank you. I don't want to ask my final question.

Access to healthy, nutritious and affordable food: evidence session 1
Thank you very much. Does anyone else want to come in on anything that we can take away in this area?

Access to healthy, nutritious and affordable food: evidence session 1
Thank you very much. So, one other thing that we're interested in is, well, first of all, what is the good practice? Chloe, you have touched on one element of that good practice, namely that everyone works together. But is it possible, in your view—and…

Access to healthy, nutritious and affordable food: evidence session 1
Thank you very much. Is there anyone else who would like to respond to that question as well? In particular in respect of the situation with emergency food provision when people are in a crisis situation. Is there any good practice?

Access to healthy, nutritious and affordable food: evidence session 1
Thank you very much to you all. Good afternoon. I just want to ask you two questions, if I may. I would like to concentrate on how you can help people who are in places or in positions of poverty. We know where the poorest regions are across Wales—Blaenau…

& 10. The general principles of the Senedd Cymru (Member Accountability and Elections) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of the Senedd Cymru (Member Accountability and Elections) Bill
You've made the point that this, in your view, is not good law. But you've heard the point that Adam made about half a loaf versus no bread at all. This is about changing the culture and the way we operate. And there is an opportunity to bring amendments at…

& 10. The general principles of the Senedd Cymru (Member Accountability and Elections) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of the Senedd Cymru (Member Accountability and Elections) Bill
Thank you so much for that point. My very clear point is that if we pass this at Stage 1, then there is an opportunity at Stage 2 to debate whether this comes in earlier, which some of us actually feel very strongly that it should. So, thank you for the…

Firstly, I'm grateful to the committee and the Chair and the clerks, and the Counsel General as well for your time in meeting with myself and Adam and other Members as well. We spoke last December about how misinformation undermines community cohesion and how…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning: Progress and future delivery of the Welsh Economy
Good afternoon, Cabinet Secretary. I just really wanted to pick up an issue that Luke mentioned, which is about how do we have an economic policy and an economic approach that benefits everybody here in Wales. We need to support those businesses that are…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: NHS Winter Pressures
Good afternoon, Cabinet Secretary. I just really wanted to focus in on social care. I know that Mabon has done that as well. It's really critical, isn't it, that we get social care right in order to ensure that people don't go into hospital in the first place…

I also am going to follow up on the issue of X and ask specifically questions both of us and also the Welsh Government. I've made the decision to come off X, and I would urge everybody here to come off X. I'd also like to ask you for a 'yes' or 'no' answer…

Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. I'd like to thank Sioned for raising this issue. There's a really even more shocking statistic, which is that people with learning disabilities in Wales die, on average, 20 years younger than the general population, with the…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Yes, thank you very much. I’ll say it in English, just to be quick. I just really wanted to say—and this is for the Ministers, really—that this is our second inquiry into this area and it feels to me as if nothing has moved on, I’m afraid. So, I would like to…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Yes, through the Chair, that would be fine. Thank you. A final question from me, just in terms of the co-operation approach in terms of the cross-ministerial co-operation that is happening to try and move this programme forward. Could you just talk about how…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Thank you for that. I'm still not entirely clear about what the Government is doing to ensure that that does happen more quickly. We've mentioned how tardy the programme is, so could you just explain more about the role of the Government in terms of pushing…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Thank you very much. Could I just ask what the response was? You've said that you had a meeting, but I'm not sure what the response was. Is there anything that we could look forward to? Is there any kind of timetable in terms of what she was talking about?…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Thank you very much. Just to follow up, if I may, regarding the meeting that you've had with the Minister in London Miatta Fahnbulleh, could I just ask whether you had any discussions on a social tariff?

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Thank you, Chair. Could I just come back to the Warm Homes programme, just to focus on the timetable? We've heard evidence from people saying that they have been without heat and hot water. So, that is happening now. Could I just go back to the question that…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session with Cabinet Secretaries
Thank you, Chair. Just a follow-up, if I may, on the question that Sioned asked, as I just want to be clear. We heard evidence from the Older People's Commissioner for Wales very clearly that the changes in benefits will have an impact on older people who are…
