Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Another aspect that we were talking to the industry about, and in some of the evidence sessions that we've had, is that element of the younger people, the people under 16, and then, obviously, 16-year-olds, who are effectively treated as adults in this…

That does help a lot. You've got limited experience of that cross border, because, obviously, the border with England is less populated than, obviously, our border with England. So, any ideas on how that works, or what sort of things did you have to put in…

It's great to have you with us, and I'm sure you'll be able to enlighten us on what you've been doing in Scotland and have some hopefully relevant information for us to be able to understand what we can do in Wales and learn from some of the key learning that…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: UK Government budget
Given the Easter season will soon be upon us, I have to commend the Tories for the timeliness of today's debate, because the UK Government's spring budget is about as hollow and structurally sound as a warm Easter egg. After 14 years of brutal austerity…

Debate: The Second Supplementary Budget 2023-24
Finally, we welcome the fact that the Minister has robust processes in place to monitor in-year spending. That said, we want her to go further, and we have recommended that forecast outturn information is published at regular intervals within the year, to…

Debate: The Second Supplementary Budget 2023-24
The committee are also disappointed that the Minister’s request, in the autumn, to switch funding from revenue to capital budgets was declined by the Treasury. We therefore ask the Minister to provide further information to explain the rationale for the…

Fiscal Intergovernmental Relations: Evidence session 1
Diolch, Rhianon. Diolch yn fawr, Mr Rycroft. It's been fascinating and sorry that we've gone over a little bit, but I think it was well worth it just to get your thoughts on the record. And as I mentioned earlier, we might write to you with a couple of…

Thank you, Mike. There might be a couple of points that we'll want to write you about after this session, if we may. It's just to make sure that we capture some of the knowledge that you've got there and your opinions, as well. But I'll come to Rhianon now…

Thank you. I'll bring Mike in now.

I'll just bring Rhianon in very briefly, and then I'll go to Mike, and then, Rhianon, you'll get your chance to ask questions after.

It's just fascinating, your insights. We're enjoying it this end and getting a lot of insight from you. If you're okay for time, we might run over a little bit.

I know Rhianon wants to come in. Before I bring Rhianon in, as I'm just conscious of time—I thought we had slightly longer than we have—how are you for time, Mr Rycroft? Are you okay if we run over by about 10 minutes?

Fiscal Intergovernmental Relations: Evidence session 1
You're okay until—. We'll move on to Mike at about 10 o'clock.

Thank you for that. Before I come on to some questions from Peter, how effective are the current structures in creating those relationships? Do they work? You talked about bilateral discussions when there was a previous Labour administration in London, and…

Fiscal Intergovernmental Relations: Evidence session 1
Going back to that comment around 2016, when things fell apart, if you like—you got so far but didn't get any further—in your view, or from your experience, what caused that? Was it those breakdowns in relationships or was it more fundamental in the…

Thank you very much. What do you think about the new inter-governmental relations arrangements for fiscal matters, and how do they compare to previous structures that were in place?

Thank you very much. Croeso cynnes. It's good to have you with us. A very long pedigree there, and we're going to pick your brains this morning and see what you think of inter-governmental relations. Could I start this morning by asking you if you could give…
