Prynhawn da. Welcome to the Equality and Social Justice Committee. We are continuing with our inquiry into debt and the impact of the rising cost of living, with our second session. I have had no apologies today. All Members are present, other than…

Water is the new gold, and obviously there are lots of parts of Europe, including the east side of Britain, who are going to have some serious issues here. Is this the time to be looking at costing new reservoirs, so that you can better control this feast and…

Okay. So, lastly from me, can you tell us a bit more about the better river quality taskforce, which I know you're one of the stakeholders in, specifically around NRW's delivery of actions that are agreed by this taskforce?

Okay. But at what point would it actually have an impact on reducing the water pollution, the phosphorous pollution, in our rivers, particularly these special ones?

Just going back to the phosphorus pollution, particularly in our SAC rivers, it's clearly a hugely complicated issue, because the summit chaired by the First Minister at the Royal Welsh last year had a huge number of stakeholders in the room. What can you…

Okay, and then, I suppose, lastly, the issue is how much nitrate are people going to be allowed to spread over land. The implementation at the moment is for the 170 kg per hectare, but now we're told that people are going to be able to apply to distribute…

Okay. Just going back to the earlier conversation that Huw was raising with Ceri, which is on cost recovery, I understand the dairy sector is the main source of agricultural pollution, and the dairy sector isn't normally known for one cow to feed the family…

Moving on to specifics and the moving feast of agricultural pollution regulations, I heard Rachael say that you had actually settled with the Government on pollution service levels, so could you tell us, Clare, what level of resource do you think you're going…

But how do we—? How can we afford to wait for that, given that we face the crunch that you mentioned? You didn't provide us with any solutions, so I'm pressing you: what do we do now? Because it takes quite a long time to get all the lovely public transport…

But right now we're absolutely between a rock and a hard place, because the bus emergency scheme has been very useful in helping us to build up passenger numbers. I can only talk about Cardiff, because I represent a Cardiff seat. We're now back to 75 per cent…

Well, it's not impossible, it's just there's a lack of political will. But I suppose I just want to look at the behavioural nudges that could be done to accompany some bold political decision making, which is absent at the moment, to some extent, although, as…

I think one of the issues that I wanted to explore was you said it would take a 4.5 per cent per year, in real terms, increase in the cost of running a car. Hasn't there been that already this year, because the price of insurance has gone up massively, and…
