So, we are thinking that this is a geographic issue, in that case.

Okay. Just to touch on my second point of that initial question, where would you put agriculture in terms of where it fits in the range of polluters?

I suppose to kick off, then, if I could ask you to outline what are the main causes of water pollution in Wales and where agriculture fits in in terms of the range of polluters. I'll start with Rachel and then I'll move to Creighton.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I suppose I'm going to bring this back a bit to ask a supplementary, really, to a question that Sarah Murphy asked, relating to those who are going to be least affected and most affected. I was wondering if you could expand on your written…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'd just like to move to the regulations now—and I was going to kick off by asking why, of course, you object to an all-Wales approach, but I think that's been covered in some of your answers already. By all means, if you want to reiterate…

90-second Statements
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. On 15 November, I had the pleasure of attending the annual general meeting of Baobab Bach, a community interest company that has been set up in Bridgend county with a goal of providing high-quality food to anyone who wants it—no means…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
There's a lot to welcome with a proposed basic income trial, and Jack Sargeant alluded to an issue that I've been aware of and have asked questions of the Minister for Social Justice in this Chamber on. The reality is that unless an agreement is struck with…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: The Young Person’s Guarantee
As I've said before, the young person's guarantee is a welcome scheme. Plaid Cymru proposed a very similar offer during the election, so we have been keen to know further details to ensure it upholds young people's rights and promotes sustainable growth in…

I'd like to ask for a statement relating to the Welsh Government's guidance on international travel. Specifically, a constituent in the Llynfi valley recently contracted COVID-19, but has been out of isolation since Tuesday 9 November. She is planning to…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Of course, this is an important subject that’s quite close to my heart as well, as somebody was in receipt of free school meals when I was a kid. I think there’s a fundamental thing here. Whilst benefits aren’t devolved, and my view on what…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'm just going to be safe here and say I might know Dan—it may be a completely different Dan Evans who is in Bridgend—so just in case it's one of them, I'll be safe. I looked through the correspondence that we had with Welsh Government last…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Can I say I agree with Buffy there? I think we should definitely write to the Minister one more time. There is a lot of work that still needs to be done on the animal welfare plan. This is one of them, which I happen to agree with, but…

Sorry, I just wanted to thank Mared for that clarification. That was my understanding of it, of course, as well—my point, of course, being that it is important that we at least refer; whether the Business Committee then agrees with us is another matter. But I…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I think that it's important for us to recognise now that it will take some time for the Welsh Government's approach to providing 24-hour appropriate support or response to people suffering from mental health—it will take time for that to…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think we should note the petitioner's concerns, but there is an element there where the petitioner talks about increasing capacity on roads—there is evidence out there to suggest that that wouldn't be the solution, through the induced…

Very quickly, because I understand that we're running tight on time here. There is a point there, of course, that there are some Welsh language street names that are being changed to English. My own street of Pant Glas, for example, the translation became…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. If I could pick up on Joel's last point there in terms of bilingual street names eventually becoming Welsh language-only street names, for me, that's ideal. I mean, when we talk about street names in Wales, there's a lot of meaning when we…
