Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
I raise this matter as there have been problems occurring on common land within my region. The current relaxed model of ownership and accountability means that all it takes is a rogue landowner to expose the inherent flaws within the system. Without going…

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
Diolch. Sorry, Natasha, for cutting across.

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
Just on that point, should the register then be extended to meetings with senior advisers? Should they fall under the same level of expectation as a Minister?

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
Thank you. Diolch, Vikki.

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
And finally from me, if I may, Chair, we've talked a little bit about different types of lobbying and that informal sitting next to somebody in a dinner or a meeting in an office or whatever those might be. There's online, you've got by letter, you've got all…

Welsh Government's Draft Budget for 2023-24 (spending in relation to justice) and general scrutiny: Evidence Session with Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
So, we know that that's coming over the hill, if you like, but then the volume of LCMs just keeps piling on, and it's significantly higher in this Senedd than it was in the last. What are your reflections on the way that this impacts this Senedd's ability to…

But just from a practical point of view, we know that this is happening. Surely, you should have some sort of idea of where you would move your resources from and to, so that at least you could react within the time frame that's needed.
