Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Yes. Thank you. In your 2022 report, you said that digital skills present a huge barrier for disabled people, so could you explain why that is an issue and what actions are needed?

So, any automatic penalties under the Water (Special Measures) Bill, you would expect those to be dealt with—? Where would you see them going?

Thank you. And the funds that you collect now from current fixed monetary penalties, where do they actually go? Do they go to NRW, or do they go to the Welsh consolidated fund?

Diolch. What consideration have you given to the Water (Special Measures) Bill, and in particular the water industry offences and penalty level that are carrying an automatic fixed penalty? Have you discussed this with the Welsh Government?

Atal a gwrthdroi colli natur erbyn 2030 - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru
Yes. Thank you very much. Diolch. The fact that NRW is going to be reshaped, I think, is causing some concern that there may be a move away from biodiversity and monitoring functions. What are your comments on that?

Thank you. Then, finally from me, the Farmers Union of Wales has told us that only 5.4 per cent of SSSIs are covered by a management agreement. So, to what extent are SSSIs contributing towards the 30x30 target?

Thank you. I'm going to ask about SSSIs. The 2020 assessment showed that the condition of half of the SSSI features is unknown, and that where conditions have been assessed, 60 per cent were in an unfavourable condition. So, I wondered what you thought should…

Bore da. I think you say in your evidence that the planning policy can be easily circumvented in the interest of profit over nature. Could you expand on that a bit more, and can you expand on how any further controls could operate?
