Uned Cyrff Cyhoeddus Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
I'd like to go into this in greater detail, but you as Chair, Mark, won't let me do that, but I think we perhaps can talk about it in greater detail, even if only in writing in the future. I've got three questions regarding tailored reviews. What criteria…

Uned Cyrff Cyhoeddus Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
Both I and the host have been unmuting me a few times then, so I think I am unmuted now. I've got a general question before I move on to tailored reviews. A large number of these bodies are part of the Welsh Government's consolidated accounts, and in business…

Can I just say—? We think we're being badly treated, others don't think we're being badly treated—that saves Gareth having to come in. But what I would say is we need organisations that feel that they are losing out to actually tell us publicly that they feel…

You unmuted me and I muted me. What I was going to say was that we were told that the freezing of allowances will mean that we will get a greater income tax income in Wales than in England. Have you estimated how much that will be?

I wasn't asking for you to look more closely at it. I was just going back to your earlier point that your people have different views. I was just asking if you'd publish the evidence that has caused those people to have their views.

The final question from me is: we had a visit from representatives of business, who said that business rates were a serious problem and that it was something they wanted to be reduced. But we also had experts come to talk to us who told us that the great…
