The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2
We have 20 minutes left. So, thank you for that, Minister. We have two other areas we wish to cover, which is the idling of stationary cars and soundscapes as well. So, Jenny, do you want to take us onto that section? Thanks.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2

Welcome back to this meeting of the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee at Senedd Cymru, the Welsh Parliament. We'll continue with our work of scrutinising the Minister and her officials on the Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes)…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
—so that's something that, maybe, as a committee we'll need to reflect on. So, we'll pause there. We'll take a 10-minute break, and, if everybody's happy, we'll reconvene a minute or so before 10:40, and then we'll go back into public session. So, we'll take…
29 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1

Jenny.
29 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
And I can absolutely understand the rationale there, but no doubt they will have a view that they will present to us as well as part of our deliberations. Joyce.
29 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
Okay, thank you. Before I come to Joyce, I'm not going to let you get away so easily with the resourcing of local authorities thing as I think you tried to pre-empt earlier. So, just to be clear, clearly the Bill does increase responsibilities and duties and…
29 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

We can see you, Minister. That's fine.
29 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
Well, if it comes to that and that we're stuck on that point, I think you're doing pretty well, Minister. So, there's no need to panic about that. Okay, thank you. Huw—no, where are we going next? Delyth. Sorry, Delyth.
