No, I think you've given us a flavour and, obviously, there's so much that we could discuss in that respect. Lord Deben, we talk about the decade of delivery—are we on track? Is it promising or not?

Short Debate: Hands up on Holden—Time for transparency on mental health services in North Wales
So, you told us in the Chamber that you would read the report, and I've no reason to doubt whether that has happened, but now, Minister, this evening, you need to explain to us, firstly, why the Holden report has still not been made public; secondly, why the…

Short Debate: Hands up on Holden—Time for transparency on mental health services in North Wales
On 4 November last year, in this Chamber, Minister, in response to a question from me, you said that you hoped that I would give you some time to look at the report and understand more about the background. I quote you—your words were, 'I will look at the…

Short Debate: Hands up on Holden—Time for transparency on mental health services in North Wales

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. This has, of course, demonstrated the economic benefits that come to local areas when the public sector and local authorities in particular, perhaps, are accredited as living wage employers, because they are key anchor organisations…

Papers to Note
As a committee, therefore, we'll move on now to item 9 on the agenda, namely to note a great number of papers. There are about 16 papers to note, so I'll ask you if we can take them all together, unless you want to refer to one of them, or raise any issues…
