Annual scrutiny of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
So, with those few words, thank you very much. The committee will now take a 10-minute break and we'll reconvene for the other item on our agenda today, which is ministerial scrutiny at 10:30. So, we'll take a break. Thank you very much.

Okay. Well, I'm sure we'd want you to be as active as possible in as many areas as possible as well. But, with that, can I thank you? We've come to the end of our allocated slot. Can I thank Dr Baxter and Dr Clubb for your presence? We look forward very much…

So, that's quite a dynamic relationship, then—it's not just some sort of formal reference points now and again, it's quite integrated.

Okay. There are only so many hours in a day, I suppose, aren't there? So, what about your relationship with the UK National Infrastructure Commission? Can you talk a little about that? Do you collaborate, or do you share experiences, or what is that…

And how do you assess the work of the previous commission? Because, of course, they did pieces of work; do you monitor what has emanated from those? I'm thinking specifically, perhaps, about the report on digital infrastructure.

Thank you, Delyth. Your reference to electric cars—this is a piece of work that this committee hopes to do early in the new year, so perhaps that would be of interest.

Debate: Stage 4 of The Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill
This Bill, as we've just heard, has received cross-party support during its journey through the Senedd, but it's also been slightly contentious because of the Welsh Government insisted on using an expedited scrutiny process for it. Now, I'm not suggesting…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that response. I want to share with you the experience of a constituent of mine who's a nurse and suffers with carpal tunnel syndrome on both hands. That causes the hands to swell, it brings a burning pain and shooting pain up the arms up to the…

Debate on the Finance Committee Report—'Post-EU funding arrangements'
