Priorities for the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee: Evidence session 5 - climate change
Okay. Thank you, Lord Deben. We've literally got three minutes, and I know at least three Members wish to ask further questions. So, Delyth, did you want to ask another question and maybe Sophie could respond to both?

Or buying up farms and planting trees, as we're seeing increasingly at the moment. Delyth Jewell, you wanted to come in on a few different things.

Very briefly, then: are targets the answer? Because I have other people wanting to come in.

No, you can't, sorry, Janet, no, because you've had two opportunities. There are members of this committee that haven't had a single chance yet, and you're asking me to allow you in again before the end of this session, so, sorry, time is against us. Back to…

Sorry, Jenny, we're struggling with time a little bit. I'll bring Janet in, and then I'll come back to you, because I know you've got a few other things you wish to ask.

We'll go to Sophie first, and then Lord Deben for a short response as well.

Saint David's mantra was 'Gwnewch y pethau bychain', wasn't it? 'Do the small things'. So, it should be in our DNA somewhere, but maybe we need to dig a bit deeper to find it. Sophie, you've been consistent in terms of Government budgets, haven't you…

Thank you so much. There's a lot there, actually. We could spend a whole hour on all of that. That's really valuable stuff. Thank you. Janet, over to you.

No, I think you've given us a flavour and, obviously, there's so much that we could discuss in that respect. Lord Deben, we talk about the decade of delivery—are we on track? Is it promising or not?

We'll move on, then, to the first session in our discussions this morning. We're focusing specifically for the next hour on climate change, and it's a great pleasure for me to welcome witnesses this morning: the Rt Hon Lord Deben, chair of the Climate Change…

Short Debate: Hands up on Holden—Time for transparency on mental health services in North Wales
So, you told us in the Chamber that you would read the report, and I've no reason to doubt whether that has happened, but now, Minister, this evening, you need to explain to us, firstly, why the Holden report has still not been made public; secondly, why the…

Short Debate: Hands up on Holden—Time for transparency on mental health services in North Wales
On 4 November last year, in this Chamber, Minister, in response to a question from me, you said that you hoped that I would give you some time to look at the report and understand more about the background. I quote you—your words were, 'I will look at the…

Short Debate: Hands up on Holden—Time for transparency on mental health services in North Wales
Mental health services present one of the greatest challenges for our NHS, and sadly it is a growing challenge. That's why it's important that we learn lessons from previous experiences and that we're honest in acknowledging mistakes and failures when they…
