At the end of the year, would they get a breakdown?

P-06-1307 The Welsh Government should commit to the adoption of the maintenance of new housing estates by local authorities
I think what I'm asking—I'm probably not saying it very clearly—the subject of this petition is the Mill development in Cardiff, and we had some residents there saying that they were asked to pay a sum at the beginning of every year and they didn't know where…

So, when I receive the original bill, when I need to pay up, I don't know exactly where the money is going, do I?

Thank you very much. Diolch, Cadeirydd. Thank you for coming to this committee today. This is something that we, as individual Members, hear about a lot, and I'm pleased to hear what you're saying seems to suggest that you set out right at the beginning what…

Session with Professor Cristina Leston-Bandeira
Thank you very much, Chair. I'd love to ask a supplementary question on that, but I had better stick to my brief. It's an interesting topic. I just wanted to touch on something that you mentioned and that we are well aware of here in Wales, that people do not…

Session with Professor Cristina Leston-Bandeira
Thank you very much, Chair. I have two questions that I am desperate to ask you. I will ask them in turn, if the Chair will allow. The first question follows on, I think, from what the Chair mentioned, and then Joel James, and from a recommendation you have…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Diolch, Gweinidog. As you have just mentioned, last month, the Minister for Economy spoke on the inadequacy of the replacement funding for the European Union funding. If I remember correctly, the whole point of Brexit was that it would liberate us from…

Diolch, Prif Weinidog. I should declare an interest, as I've personal experience of how the Wales Fertility Institute transforms lives. It really does provide people with hope and joy after years of disappointment and grief. As you know, Prif Weinidog, there…

P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Could I ask one supplementary question, Chair? Two of the petitions are about people within the education system. Are you concerned that if we pursue the first two petitions, we would leave out those who have left education and are pursuing other things, like…

P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Thank you very much, Chair. I’d better make a declaration of interest at the outset—even though I don’t know Ffion, I know her grandfather very well. He was the best man at my father’s wedding, and he was my reference for my first job. Very often I answered…

Group 3: Promoting awareness about air pollution (Amendment 2)
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. I am naturally disappointed that the Government will not be supporting this. This is an easy amendment to fulfil, and raising awareness is something that the Welsh Government does all the time, for example, as it does for the rights…

Group 3: Promoting awareness about air pollution (Amendment 2)
While the topic, as alluded to by the Minister, is relatively under-researched compared to the likes of greenhouse gases and, as Delyth Jewell's amendment referred to, nitrogen dioxide, it is clear that there is a benefit to increasing awareness of the…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
