Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 4—trade unions (1)
With regard to that, then, do you think that the compliance mechanisms that are in place are sufficiently robust, and is there anything different you would do to them, really?

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 4—trade unions (1)
Perfect. Bethan, do you have anything you might like to add? No. Perfect. Well, Nisreen, I suppose this is a question for you, really: Wales TUC in their public response said that public bodies would find implementing the contract management duties…

Perfect. What about Nisreen? What about your views on this?

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 4—trade unions (1)
Thank you, Chair. I suppose I just want to talk about procurement duties relating to major construction contracts and outsourcing public services. And so, the first question really is: do you support the inclusion of the construction contract management and…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 4—trade unions (1)
Yes. So, it's all in one and it's a general thing; it's about marking your own homework. Is there a danger of that, then, and that you're not necessarily holding to account the process, because you're so involved in this?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 4—trade unions (1)
Yes, one brief question. It's basically about the general role of the trade unions in the process. I'm conscious that Unison and Wales TUC mentioned that if this was to come into play, you would need more than just facility time to play your part in this and…

Thanks for that. I'm conscious of the time, so, Chair, if it's okay, I've just got one question left.

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 4—trade unions (1)
Brilliant. Thank you. We've spoken in other evidence sessions and there's been confusion about what are the overall objectives of the social partnership Bill—how are we going to determine that it's been a success or a failure. I just wanted to get your idea…

Thank you, Chair, and hi, everyone. Thanks ever so much for coming to this afternoon's evidence session. I just want to start with the general principles of the Bill and I was just wondering if you could set out whether or not you think there's a need for…

Thank you. I think that's it, Chair.

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session 3—private sector employers
Perfect. Well, I suppose my next question, then, is with regard to the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. Obviously, it says bodies have to consider it while pursuing the 'a prosperous Wales' well-being goal; so, fair work and pursuing that. I…

Thank you, Chair, and thanks, everyone, for your responses so far. I suppose I just want to talk now about the social partnership duty and fair work, and apologies if you've already touched upon it in your other submissions or here now. But what are your…

Thank you, Ben. I was just wondering if anyone else has anything to add on that, or I can move on to the next question, really, because Ben touched upon how smaller businesses would need help, support and advice. I was just wondering if you wanted to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Diabetes
Thank you, Altaf, and thank you for that intervention and, as has already been discussed, one of the issues is the lack of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and the unfamiliarity of the symptoms, so it's crucial to get them covered as well. So, I have two final…

Perfect. Thank you. I suppose that brings me, really, on to the last question. Both you, Helen, and Geraint mentioned the impacts that this legislation would have, and I know, Helen, you specifically mentioned contract management, if I remember rightly. I was…
