New Petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I just want to pick up on something that Joel said there, and I hope it provides some clarity. From my understanding of the petitions, they're not saying that if you're English, you shouldn't be allowed to stand in the Welsh Parliament…

Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Thank you, Chair. I'm going to ask this question in Welsh, if I may. There's an important element to this pilot, but also to UBI ultimately. Because the powers around welfare are not devolved yet, any pilot will need an agreement between the UK and Welsh…

Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Diolch, Gadeirydd. There was an important point I just wanted to pick up on there, Jonathan, in terms of we know how much a UBI will cost, for example, the pilot that UBI Lab Wales has proposed has an estimated cost of £120 million, but there is one element…

Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Diolch, Gadeirydd, and welcome, of course, Jonathan. I should probably say for clarity that I was one of the Members who signed the UBI pledge, so I just want to make sure that's on the record there. Following on from some of your comments in terms of Joel's…

Okay. Thanks, Jonathan. I think that answers Joel's question there. Luke Fletcher.

No. No problem at all. I suppose, then, to what degree do you think regulation can properly reduce the injuries, deaths and number of surplus dogs in need of rescue spaces in Wales, especially given the proposals for Valley track and the professionalisation…

No worries. I'd just like to touch on something that Chris mentioned there in terms of the regulations and Wales being behind. Do you feel that the regulations on greyhound racing have worked in England? I'll start with Chris and move to Paula, and if Madison…

Thank you, Chris. And I'd like to turn to a specific aspect of the plan now and Chris has already alluded to it slightly—it's to do with greyhound welfare. I think it would be apt for me now to declare an interest, Chair, as a member of Greyhound Rescue…

In that case, we'll go straight to Madison, and then Chris.

Thank you. And a further question to that: I'd like to know whether you think the Welsh Government consulted sufficiently on the development of the plan. Again, I'll start with Paula, and then, again, move to Chris and Madison.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I have a number of questions around the animal welfare plan. I think I'll kick off initially to gauge your own initial comments on the new five-year animal welfare plan that was announced last week. I'll start with Paula, and then go on to…

Thank you. And finally, Dylan, with apologies to George, sorry—a bit of a break at the end for you there.

Thank you for that. I'm aware that time is brief, so I'll finish with this question. I want to touch on the sustainable farming scheme for a moment. Would you be of the opinion that the proposals that are being developed on the sustainable farming scheme are…

Thank you, Chair. I have a couple of questions about free trade agreements and the Trade and Agriculture Commission. First of all, in response to the consultation over the summer, the NFU and the RSPCA voiced concern that FTAs could lead to importing lower…

Thank you. And, on the information that you do have right now, do you have a timeline as to when that impact assessment would be roughly completed?
