Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Okay. So, what is your strategy, then, to reach that final 1 per cent of people who can't get decent coverage, and are we looking at use of public money to reach that final 1 per cent?

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Thank you for that. One piece of evidence or some of the evidence that we've received as a committee suggests that—and this is to the Deputy Minister—user representation of the group doesn't exist, and whether an end-user sort of voice should have been part…

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Yes, we can indeed.

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
There we are. Okay, I'll invite Richard, then, to contribute.

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
There we are. Okay, thank you very much. I want to move on now, then, to broadband coverage and connectivity, and I'm just wondering what you can tell us about the barrier-busting taskforce that has been established, and what that's telling you in terms of…

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Literally in the last 30 seconds.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Well, in fairness, the Minister's literally just spoken about that.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
We'll come to Janet, and then we'll come to you, Jenny, if that's okay.

The famous Welsh panda—yes, okay. Thank you. Joyce has raised her hand, and then we'll come back to you Janet for the next question. Joyce.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
No, no. Nobody's suggesting that.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Okay, thank you.

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
No, but I wasn't referring explicitly to NRW. My understanding is there are direct Welsh Government purchases, but I'll provide you with that information and maybe you can respond in due course.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
And on the trees, yes.

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
I was just responding to the fact that you said it wasn't an either/or, but, clearly, there are examples of food-producing land being converted into forestry by the Government directly.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
And Welsh Government.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Can I just come in on that, because I agree with much of what you said? So, are you therefore comfortable with the fact that the Welsh Government is buying, or are buying, productive agricultural land and farms, outbidding younger farmers in those communities…

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2

Okay. One-word answers—we like those. There we are. Thank you very much. We'll move on now, then, to our next area of questioning, and I'll ask Janet to lead on this.
15 Mehefin 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
Very, very briefly, Huw, and then we'll need to move on.

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidog a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd – sesiwn 2
