Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Okay. As you said, last week, when we asked the Minister questions about this, I did raise the UK Government saying that they’re going to scrap GDPR on 7 October. Now, we’ve had more information on that where they have laid out what I suspected was the case…

And have they been clear with you on what that might be, then?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
I just wanted to ask, have they told you—? Because I can see that there’s an overview of what information will be collected, what data will be collected, and that’s on the farmer then, essentially, the business owner, to provide that data, so then there can…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Thank you, Chair. I'm going to ask some questions about the collection and sharing of data. I find this part of the Bill quite fascinating. I know that it does build on the UK agriculture powers, but it will give Welsh Ministers the power to require those in…

Debate on the Health and Social Care Committee Report: Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals
As a new member of the Health and Social Care Committee, I want to start by thanking my colleagues and the clerks and everybody who contributed to this report, and I am glad that the Welsh Government has accepted, or accepted in principle, all 25…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Thank you, Minister, and I appreciate your response to this question. I know from many parents in my constituency and, of course, across Wales, that they want to be able to send their children to good schools, close to their homes. But this has been a slight…

Thank you very much, Minister. Thank you, Chair.

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Thank you. And then, finally, under the Bill, Welsh Ministers may provide support for agriculture and ancillary activities. So, both these definitions, and it follows the scope of future support, could be amended by subordinate legislation. So, under what…
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Okay, thank you. And then, the Bill includes wide enabling powers for Welsh Ministers, with much in the detail left to regulations. So, to what extent did you consider including more detail on the face of the Bill?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Just to drill down into that a little bit more, I attended the Commonwealth conference in Halifax this year, and the women's conference, and, obviously, there has been a big push now to do gender budgeting, for example. It's one of the lenses that we use on…

Thank you. And what consideration has been given to human rights when drafting the Bill?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Thank you. And do your proposals comply with international obligations, such as World Trade Organization rules?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair. So, Minister, in terms of the common frameworks, can you confirm the Welsh Government has complied with the relevant common frameworks in respect of the Bill? And if so, can you provide details of the processes taken and the decisions made…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Okay. Thank you very much, and I think you answered my second question about trying to make sure that it's not too burdensome for the farmers. So, thank you very much. Back to you, Chair.

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
That would be brilliant, because obviously a lot of what you've said is pretty much what GDPR is, but the UK Government intend to get rid of GDPR now, so I was wondering if any consideration had been given to if that is removed, what that would mean for the…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Okay. I just wanted to check that. So, no—legally, under what's being proposed in the Bill, data couldn't be sold to third parties, or given away.
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Is it possible that the data could be sold to third parties?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Absolutely. And then, just to ask, is there a possibility that, legally, the data could be sold to third parties?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
Absolutely. So, will people who you collect data from be required to give consent, and how will that be gained?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 1
I'm going to ask some questions about the collection and sharing of data. So, can I ask, how do you intend to use the powers on collection and sharing of data? For example, what type of data do you envisage collecting, how will it be used, and will it be in…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Regional Economic Development
Sorry. So, it'd be great to have an update on that, if possible. Also, I would just like to ask, Minister: do you agree that the Welsh Government does value the constituency of Bridgend and other communities as places to invest and grow our local economies?

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Regional Economic Development
Thank you, Minister, for providing this statement today. Just to pick up on your points there, and, Luke, your questions about free ports, I would hope, then, that that would mean that the Welsh Government would never make a deal with DP World, which owns P&O…
