Thank you. First Minister, in a previous answer, I think, on the national forest you were talking about, it raised questions on the possibility of fruit trees being part of the national forest, and I know Jenny wants to pursue the question on food production…

And we'll move on to some aspects of digital infrastructure, and over to Jack.

Then, Jenny, you can come in after that, okay? You've just said, First Minister, that the plans are published and the recommendations available and the Welsh Government will be looking at them. Do we have an indication as to when the Welsh Government might be…

Can I ask one question?

Thank you. We move on to rural communities now, because tourism obviously has a major impact on those communities, but there are many other issues. So, over to Peredur on that.

Just one final question, since you're talking about local authorities. And funnily enough, we've had a statement from the local government Minister on joint corporate bodies today. Clearly, one question will be raised in this: as part of the research, are you…

Okay. We'll move on to other themes now, and obviously, clearly, tourism is an important part of both of those communities. Over to Russell.

Just on that point, is there any Member of the Cabinet that actually has responsibility to oversee, to ensure that the collective is being achieved?

Thank you, First Minister. We have several themes within our remit for the session this afternoon. Before we go into those, perhaps I can just ask a generic question as to how the Welsh Government is now taking forward any strategy to improve the lives of the…

We move on to agenda item 2, which is the evidence session with the First Minister. This first part of the evidence session will be based upon the theme of economic strategy for coastal and rural communities. Can I welcome the First Minister this afternoon to…

Good afternoon. Could I welcome everyone to this afternoon's meeting of the Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister? To remind Members, the meeting is bilingual and simultaneous translation is available. If you're joining via Zoom, then the…

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o'r cyfarfod
Item 4 on our agenda is a motion under Standing Order 17.42 to resolve to exclude the public for the remainder of this meeting. Are Members content to do so? I see they are, and therefore we'll now move into our private session.

Okay. Moving on to Ukraine, can I put on record, I think, the appreciation of all Members for the efforts the Welsh Government have been putting in place to support the refugees that will be coming to Wales in, hopefully, the near future? What stage are you…

Can I, then, before we move on to the next question, since no-one else is asking one, raise two points, perhaps, from me? Obviously, this week we've seen the Ockenden report on Shropshire services, and there'll be Welsh families that will have suffered within…

Delyth, did you want to come in here?

Sesiwn i graffu ar waith y Gweinidog—Materion amserol
Can I push that a bit further? Because it's not just a response to the climate emergency. I think it was Delyth Jewell that raised the question earlier on the cost-of-living issue and public transport. Has the cost-of-living crisis changed the thinking behind…

If we move on to the topical questions in this session, we'll have perhaps reduced time, but I'm sure we'll cover them anyway. I'll go over to Sam Rowlands for the first one.

Costau byw
Thank you. That concludes our session on the cost of living, though I'm sure, First Minister, you will continue to be questioned on the cost-of-living crisis because it's not going away, and it is, as we started out saying, very fluid and happening amongst…

A quick one, yes.
