But you would see it as an important part of the jigsaw.

And of course, we are expecting a bus Bill here in Wales, which presumably will come before this committee for scrutiny, and the whole franchising proposal will become clearer in terms of what exactly that means for those kinds of services. So, what kind of…

Okay, thank you. Right, we'll come to Janet, and then we'll come back to Jenny then. Janet.

And just to add to that, the work that we did in our previous report highlighted that the least well-off areas actually lost the most services during COVID, so, clearly, there's a question about companies cherry-picking the more sustainable routes et cetera…

Okay. I'm conscious that Janet has been very patient with us—I know you've got a couple of things you want to raise—but Joyce just wants to come in on one more thing and then we'll certainly move on to Janet.

Yes.

Yes. That's a whole inquiry, I think, for us as a committee, potentially, there. The whole placemaking thing is really important. Huw.

I think there's a target of 30 per cent, isn't there, in Wales, of people working from home, stated by the Government, so, obviously that will have a knock-on effect, then, on maybe some of the economics of some of these things as well. Delyth.

I've got hands going up everywhere now, so I've got Delyth—sorry, I've got Joyce coming in next, then Delyth, then Huw, and, then, we'll come on to Janet.

Excellent. Thank you so much for that. There we are—I think we're calling up our colleagues who are joining us virtually now on the screen. There we are—nice to see you again. Okay, excellent. I was going to ask a few general questions about the background to…

Welcome back to this meeting of the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee. We'll move now to our next item in this morning's meeting, which is a technical briefing from the Confederation of Passenger Transport on the findings of its recent…

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Thank you. And the committee will, on that wonderful note, break for 10 minutes, and we'll reconvene for a 10:40 start. Diolch yn fawr.

Thank you very much. That perfectly brings us to the end of our allotted time slot. Can I thank you, Lord Deben, for your attendance this morning, along with your officials? It's been alluded to earlier that this is likely to be your last appearance before us…

Excellent. Thank you. We'll move on to Joyce.

Thank you. There we are; okay, Huw.

Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales
Yes, but Janet, had you been listening, those issues had already been addressed earlier in the session, I'm afraid.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales
No, you're not, Janet, I'm afraid.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales
Thank you, Joyce. Okay, I think we're going to move on now to Janet, who's going to ask about surplus emissions, I think.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales
Okay, thank you for that. We've covered carbon budgets 2 and 3 sufficiently there, I think, so we'll move on to Joyce next.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales
No, Huw is content, so we'll move on to Jenny.

Delyth, briefly, and then we'll move on to another area of questioning.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales
I'm sorry, I think we need to get on with it as well, to be honest, because we are halfway through our allocated time and we're only part way through the areas we wish to cover, so if you forgive me, we might come back to it later on.
