Scrutiny of Natural Resources on topical issues
You say that—[Interruption.] We've got feedback here. You say that you're responding to 20 per cent of reported incidents. If you had more money, taking into account what you've just said, that you couldn't do every single one, but if you had more resource…

How do you respond to Y Byd ar Bedwar participants' view that there is no point in reporting pollution incidents to you and that many responses are too late, and the programme's findings that NRW fail to respond to over half of reported incidents in a year?

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with Natural Resources Wales
Thank you. You've talked already about data sharing and the collaboration that's needed, and some ideas about how it can be achieved, but the Welsh Government says that reporting on progress towards the new biodiversity targets is going to be through SoNaRR…

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with Natural Resources Wales
Okay. That's really interesting, but you didn't actually say what your duties were, unless you thought that they were your duties. But you have a duty, and I think what we're trying to get at is to understand what that duty is.

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with Natural Resources Wales
Good morning, everybody. We've talked a bit about monitoring biodiversity, but I want to ask you if you can clarify exactly what your duties are in monitoring the protected site network. And we're talking about SSSIs, but also the special areas of…

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with public authorities
It's on monitoring. How do we know if we've changed anything if we don't know what it is that we've changed? So, is it being monitored across Wales, which will then, in turn, inform management?

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with public authorities
In terms of getting that message out about wet wipes, we periodically have notifications telling people that it's wrong and it causes problems. What are you doing, if anything, or how can we help you do it, to get that message out clearly?

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Women's healthcare
I want to thank Delyth and her co-submitters and supporters for raising what is an incredibly important issue. We all know that, for too long, women’s experience of pain, be it menstrual, reproductive or chronic, has been dismissed or trivialised. It’s not a…

Motion under Standing Order 26.79 to withdraw the Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
I'm hugely disappointed that we are where we are today. I think it raises some level of concern about putting Bills forward when they're questionable whether we have the powers to exercise what we want. So, my first question will be that we don't do that…
