It's to do with using only the Welsh names. So, for example, 'Bannau Brycheiniog', for example—

I would like to thank Mihangel ap Rhisiart for bringing this petition forward, because it is a very important issue that we do save Welsh place names. It's one of the things, as you will know, that is included in the co-operation agreement, and, as I…

And, of course, as part of the co-operation agreement, you'll be aware that childcare forms part of that, so we are doing things here in Wales that are developing this and, obviously, looking at childcare beyond that level. From memory, I think, the offer in…

I'd be content to close the petition down after that, if that was the case.

But if it's a trunk road, then it's the Deputy Minister—

Yes, that's what I'm—. So, there isn't any need, then, to send a letter to the council to ask them to do something. If it's a trunk road, then it comes under the Deputy Minister. I just wanted to double check. There we are. Thanks.

I think it is, yes.

Just a quick question, really, with this road—and I'm trying to picture it; I know roughly where it is, I think—is there anything that the council could do, or is it a trunk road? I don't know where the responsibility lies.

Again, on a similar theme to some other petitions that we've had recently and that we will be discussing in May, I think, in Plenary, I think this adds to that discourse around ALN and it adds another aspect of the complexities of what's going on, and what…

Wonderful.

So, if we're able to do that after tomorrow, but discuss outside of the meeting if we're able to as to the wording around it. Because I think there is an element of urgency around it.

I'd like to extend a welcome to you up in the gallery, and I know you were outside earlier with a number of people who are very interested in this in my region in south-east Wales. The Gwent levels is somewhere that everybody should go and visit and see, so…

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Maybe not necessarily an unintended consequence, but a positive consequence: has it helped the industry in getting people back on buses and giving a stability of payments that keep the industry going, which was obviously hit—? If it was anything like the…

Just thinking now, it's from the age of five, five to 15, and those younger ones, from a safeguarding point of view—and maybe it's for Paul, maybe, rather than Gillian, or both—how do you make sure that safeguarding is carried out and making—? I remember…

Just to check, I think, what would be useful for any scheme here would be—. And anything you could share at a later date, maybe, of what that modelling profile looks like, so, whether you get a big surge and then a slowing down and what sort of timescale that…

And is the modelling pretty accurate, then? You're finding that it's—. How good is your modelling?
, Petitions Committee
Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Yes. Okay. So, have you done any work on how much it's costing now on an annual basis, going forward?
, Petitions Committee
Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Oh, you did some in 2018, as well.

Fine. All right. All the way from 2020, all the way through, then.

Just quickly, the £249 million you quoted, Gillian, what was the timescale on that? Is that over two years, or is that a year? Or how many months?

Following on with this, have you seen the creation of any new routes whilst this has been rolled out? Has it helped with the identification of new routes for young people? If there was a need there, has this allowed bus service providers to be able to say…
