Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that response. Certainly, we need a pragmatic resolution to this situation. I'm sure you too would appreciate the need for consistency, because supporters have been in touch with me asking why they have to follow the rules if another club can…

Ministerial scrutiny session—Topical matters
Yes. Thanks. I thought it would be important to have that clarity.

Ministerial scrutiny session—Topical matters
Thank you for that. And earlier, as well, when you were asked about the hardship fund for local government, very interestingly, you said that—. We know that budget making is always a matter of prioritisation, and there are tensions and different demands, but…

Ministerial scrutiny session—Topical matters
Can I just return to the earlier point? You mentioned exams in schools, First Minister. Clearly, schools are currently pursuing two different pathways, in terms of where they might end up next year, in terms of examination or assessment. How late do you…

Thank you. I hope it's a locally reared chicken and egg, as well. There we are.

COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
Thank you. Finally, then, if I may, Chair, the Warm Homes programme, we're awaiting the consultation on the future of the programme, or its successor programme. The fuel poverty plan promised that consultation in June—that didn't happen. The 'Net Zero Wales'…

COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
Okay. Thank you for that. I want to move on to flooding as well. Clearly, that's something that we're, unfortunately, very familiar with in Wales. I don't want to ask you a general question about how prepared we are, or how resilient we are. I know you tell…

COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
There are too many people because there are not enough carriages.

COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
Do you accept, then, that services aren't what they should be? We're seeing, aren't we, a car-led recovery from COVID. There was a moment where people were hoping, when cars were off the road in a way that they haven't been for generations, that public…

COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
Thank you, Chair. I want to start with public transport, if I may, and trains particularly. You may be aware that a number of us are regular users of trains, particularly if we travel from north Wales to Cardiff. But it's becoming increasingly frustrating, as…
, Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister
COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
Thank you, Chair. There's one thing that you need to clear up for us today, First Minister—this confusion about the walk-ins for the boosters. Your Minister said that there would be no walk-ins, but that there would be groups that would be prioritised. But…

Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: The Welsh Tax Acts etc. (Power to Modify) Bill
Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I thank the Minister for her statement. Just to pick up on some of the previous comments on a finance Bill or an annual budget Bill, I still feel as I did when I chaired the Finance Committee in the previous…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for your answer, First Minister. I have to say, there are serious concerns being expressed to me that the service is unable to cope with the volume of demand. The sense among nursing professionals is that the service is being overrun, with patients…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
Okay, we'll move into private session, therefore. So, I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(vi) and (ix) that the committee resolves to meet in private for the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content with that? Yes, okay, no opposition, so…

Papers to note
We move on, therefore, to the next item, namely to note some papers—item 6—and there are a number of papers that we need to note, so we'll go through them. Paper 6.1 is a letter from me to the Minister and then paper 6.8 is the response from the Minister on…

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
Thank you. That could add another 20 minutes to our meeting, but it's a very important point. I'm glad you made it at the end, and it may be that we come back to you with a few questions, maybe, just to explore that a bit further. I think all of your…

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
It is indeed. Yes, absolutely. Okay. Well, we've got a couple of minutes left, so I was just going to ask one final question, and we've touched on this, maybe, in different ways. But, just looking for feedback, really, in terms of recent engagement from Welsh…

Ideal. Okay, that's a good place to conclude that little passage of discussions. Okay, we come to Huw, then. We've got just over five minutes left, so I'm presuming we're nearing our last question, really, or last group of questions.
