Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
That's a wonderful idea. Also, to pick up on some advocacy comments that you made as well, evidence highlights the importance of advocacy services, and you said that, 'We have been concerned about the erosion of some people's rights during the pandemic.' So…

Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
Thank you, Chair. Good morning, both. Thank you for being here. I just wanted to ask a few more questions about safeguarding and rights. You touched on, earlier, that because of the care, support, treatment and services, there are going to be more…

Minister, I want to thank you for bringing this statement to the Chamber today. Before being elected, I was a volunteer at Sustainable Wales, based in Porthcawl, who are a grass-roots charity that encourage people to work as community leads on sustainable…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Minister. Climate science tells us we're in for longer, hotter and dryer summers with the likelihood of ever more severe water shortages. Reducing daily water consumption would not only mitigate some of the challenges we've seen and will continue…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Women’s Justice and Youth Justice Blueprints: Progress report and next steps
With the very short time, Minister, I just wanted to say thank you for bringing this today. I would say that, on the whole, the response that I have heard, anyway, to the women's justice blueprint has been positive, as well as the Visiting Mums project. But I…

Pre-appointment hearing with the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
21 November 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Pre-appointment hearing with the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Thank you. And just my second question, again tying a couple together, but the social partnership boards that we have and advisory boards, and the potential council that's coming up, I believe that this is something that the future generations commissioner…
21 November 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Pre-appointment hearing with the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Thank you. Thank you for being here today, Derek, and answering our questions. I’m going to wrap them all up as much as I can, because we need to get through as many as possible. In terms of what you’d intend to do if you got the role to begin with, would you…

Experiences in the criminal justice system
Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
21 November 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Experiences in the criminal justice system
I agree. I think you've answered my next question, so, just to end, I wanted to ask, you said at the beginning that it would be good if you could be more involved, on behalf of your members, with the blueprint, for example. Do you think that it would be…
21 November 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Experiences in the criminal justice system
Thank you. That's really helpful. It kind of brings me on to the question I was going to ask next, which is, what further options do you think are available to Welsh Government and partners to enhance the community options? The women's centres is one of the…
21 November 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Experiences in the criminal justice system
That's very helpful. Thank you very much. So, speaking of something that has been suggested, then, are you aware of the planned provision of a residential women's centre in Swansea, and do you have a view on this, really, in terms of whether there is a value…

Experiences in the criminal justice system
Yes, of course. So, in the assessment, the planning and design of the evaluation for the women's justice blueprint, it found that the availability of alternatives to custody was improving, but it also raised the issue of how sentences vary across Wales and…

Experiences in the criminal justice system
Thank you very much, and thank you for being here today as well; I know it's not always easy being on a panel on your own. I want to ask a few more questions about the community sentences and the alternatives to custody. We've touched on this a little bit in…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
16 November 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Thank you. And as a follow up, then, Confor is highly concerned about the new power for NRW to vary, suspend or revoke a licence where there has been no breach of condition. It says this 'catch-all' category must be removed because the inconsistent…
16 November 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Thank you. Following on, Confor doesn't agree that environmental conditions on tree-felling licences are necessary. It says that, if changes are to take place, the Welsh Government should provide further evidence and bring changes forward in separate…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
16 November 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Okay, thank you very much. And this is my last question, then: the Bill empowers Ministers to make regulations setting out an enforcement regime as well for the data collection, so what is your intended approach to enforce information requirements under the…
16 November 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Okay. Sorry, this is my last question, then, on this area. Obviously, it could potentially impact the liability insurance that farmers could get, so in the data that will be collected around productivity and price info, will data also be collected on any…
16 November 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Okay. Are you having conversations, though, around this, when you are talking to DEFRA about the potential for trading this data?
16 November 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 10
Have you been able to have a look at maybe what the impact of that would be on the security of that data that's collected?
