Scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales Plan
I think there are probably a number of sessions that we could have from what we've had today, and we will be having them, of course, over this coming Senedd. We move on now to Huw.

If you could be brief there, Minister, because Huw is very patient, in fairness. He's coming in next, so, Minister, very briefly on that.

Okay. Thank you. Back to Jenny, then.

Thank you. Thank you. Jenny, did you want to continue, or, Joyce, did you want to come in on this?

As useful as it would be now, I think a written note would suffice, because we do have another set of areas that we wish to cover, if that's okay.

Is the line frozen? Janet may have pressed something, I think, as she was trying to grapple with her papers. We'll move on to Jenny, then. Jenny, do you want to pick up on the next question?

I was going to say, we can hardly see you. We can just about see you between the pages.

There we are. Thank you, Janet; thank you, Minister. We're over halfway through our allocated time, and we're about a third of the way through the areas of questioning that we were hoping to cover, so we'll try and speed things up a little bit, hopefully…

Okay. Thank you. We'll move on now, then, to Janet, who I think is going to raise some stakeholder concerns.

Before I bring Jenny in on this as well, Minister, clearly, local authorities are now commissioning or buying electric buses for example, and I'm just wondering—I'm aware that some local authorities in Wales are actually sourcing them from China—to what…

Are those indicators being put out there in public, are they, as and when they're being updated?

Onwards, therefore, to item 2, which is scrutiny of the Welsh Government's Net Zero Wales plan, which was published, of course, at the end of October. This session will be a kind of first look at the plan, rather than an in-depth consideration of all of the…
