Yes. I did submit a question. I think it was going to the Minister, to Sarah Murphy, actually, for her to respond at the time and then got withdrawn. Thank you. Are you happy with those proposed actions, to write to the Cabinet Secretary and also to the…

Thank you, Rhys, for sharing that with us. I've written and asked, as well, about these baby loss certificates; I think many of us have in the Chamber. It's been asked and we've just received the same response, but it would mean so much for such a—. Surely…

So, I think we've got a majority decision going forward to close it, and we can, as Members, keep a watching brief on the conversations that are being had. Are we okay with that then? Yes, there are nods, except for Rhys. Okay, so, we agree to close the…

Okay, we have differing opinions here, so I might take it to the vote, actually. So, we've had proposals to close it. There are ongoing conversations, and I'm pleased the petitioner's raised this, raised about buildings, historical buildings, as well as the…

Thank you, Vaughan. Yes, Rhys.

Okay, thank you. I'd just like to say the petitioner added the 'ask for the Petitions Committee is for positive support for devolution of bite size chunks of the CE like the castles' and it's not about money being paid to the Crown Estate 'but the actual…

Okay. Thank you, Peter. Luke, do you want to come in?

New Petitions
Yes, I will. Thank you for that recommendation. I believe the debate will be on 13 November. And the parent as well—the petitioner—mentioned the cost of learning BSL as, apparently, it's really expensive and prohibitive as well. That was a point. Lots and…

Thank you. There are points I picked up. Those training to be teachers as well, you know, it's—. Perhaps if this is involved in teacher training in Wales as a course and offered as a course, and making teachers aware that every child is different as well…

If we move on now to petitions. Petition 2.1 is P-06-1430, 'Support deaf children by making a financial commitment to restoring Teacher of the Deaf numbers'. 'Teachers of the Deaf play a vital role in supporting the language and communication development of…

Okay, thank you for that. I have two declarations of interest. So, petition P-06-1472, 'Protect our wildlife...ban plastic grass in Wales!', there was a reference in the pack from the Cabinet Secretary to the 'It’s for Them' project, which is about managing…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Because energy is such a big topic, it would be great if we could have a—I suppose this is for the Business Committee—debate on this in the Chamber going forward, to have a strategic view on it as Members of the Senedd. There's a lot happening. But perhaps I…

Yes. Reduced energy bills.

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Just one more. So, in north Wales, I know that just standing charges are £336 and I'm told that it's because of the grid and connectivity. So, it's just that impact, again. Renewable energy: great and all this, but people want cheaper bills, so we need the…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
I mentioned earlier—and Jennifer did—about community projects, which are really important, projects that are community owned, where they get that benefit, but none of these will happen unless we sort out the national grid. You know, proper renewable energy…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Also, the Senedd's climate change committee were concerned that clause 5 requires the Secretary of State to prepare a statement of strategic priorities and just consult with the Welsh Ministers as well. They're really concerned about not being involved with…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
It's just the concern about the lack of involvement from the devolved—from the Senedd as well—to discuss all these matters, really, when things are added on. Thank you, Chair.

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
If I could just ask a question on that, when the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill came before us, that was looking, again, at giving power to the Secretary of State for Wales, and then, last minute, the NUAR, the national underground asset…
