Business Statement and Announcement
I'd like to ask for a statement on how the Welsh Government is working with partners like Show Racism the Red Card. I think all Senedd Members probably had information from Show Racism the Red Card, which shows that they worked with 797 schools in Wales in…

Thank you. Is that all your views? You all agree with that. Yes. 'Subject to consultation'—right, thank you. And what is your general view on the new categorisation system? Do you have any concerns about the approach or about the different categories?

Stage 1 scrutiny of the Disused Mine and Quarry Tips (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Coal bodies
Thank you. And, MRA, your view on that, but also you say in your paper that it: 'Would be clearer if the manner and minimum frequency of inspections were specified.' Would you be content for further details of monitoring to be included in the guidance, or do…
