Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
So, it would be a potential positive impact on Wales-EU trade, then, especially when you consider all the combined EU provisions involved.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. We touched earlier in the session on the interaction of these Bills with the internal market of the UK. Looking at this Bill specifically, though, what assessment has the Welsh Government made of its interaction with the United Kingdom…

The only reason I ask is I think it's important to think through what steps would happen if different scenarios play out, and that surely would be the case for you guys as well.

So, if that word 'consult' is still there when we get to that point, after the discussions have happened, would it be fair to assume then the Welsh Government might not recommend consent to that Bill?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
So, if we were to find ourselves in a position where that 'consult' word is still there in the Bill, would the Welsh Government then be looking to make an amendment to that Bill, to change the wording to 'consent'?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
So, particularly on that wording of 'consent' and 'consult', where is the Welsh Government on that particular point? Because, as things currently stand within the Bill, the Secretary of State is only required to consult rather than actually seek the consent…

The same question as Mike, then, but in this respect with the regulation and metrology Bill. What engagement has happened with the UK Government on that front?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. It was actually around the point, Jennifer, that you just made around what happens now with Ynni Cymru and Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru, because I'm really interested in how they will interact with GB Energy. So, does that mean now, as we're waiting…

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
Well, I think that's a question more for the Scottish Government than what we would be doing in terms of the Welsh Government. The Welsh Government could make its own decisions, separate to what the Scottish Government has done, so I really think that's a…

It shouldn't be a surprise to see that in the motion we have yet again called for the devolution of the Crown Estate. For anyone elected to the Senedd, I find it hard to understand how you would argue against control over the wealth potential here in Wales…

Of course, this is deeply concerning news, and I think it's important that we recognise the stress that this has put on staff and thank them for their professionalism in dealing with the situation. We are, now, in a situation where major traumas can't be…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. We touched a lot on funding in the previous set of questions. I was going to ask around that, but I’m also conscious of time. So, if I can stick to one particular question here. In our previous session, we discussed it again, and touched on…

Just sticking with you for a moment, then, Robbie, in the paper that you submitted to the committee, you called for longer term funding from Welsh Government. Is that something that you’re in conversation with Welsh Government about?

—rather than a driver, whether that’s for economic prosperity, job creation.

So, to be clear then, to be as clear as possible, what you’re suggesting is that the Welsh Government is seeing the foundational economy more as a project—

Thank you for that. You’re both tempting me quite a bit to go deeper into procurement, but I know one of my colleagues has a number of questions there, so I know they won’t forgive me if I start stealing their questions as well. But, just in terms of the…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Just thinking about some of the levers the Welsh Government have, what exactly are they? We know that funding is one of them. But what are the other levers at the Welsh Government's disposal?
