2. Environment (Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill - Stage 2 Proceedings

<p>Today, we're holding Stage 2 proceedings on the Environment (Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill. Joining us today is the Member in charge of the Bill, Huw Irranca-Davies, the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs. Welcome. Joining him are his team: Naomi Matthiessen, who is deputy director of the landscapes, nature and forestry division, Alice Teague, who is deputy director of the marine and biodiversity division, and Dorian Brunt, from legal services in the Welsh Government. A very warm welcome to all of you.</p>
<p>As Chair, I will be moving amendments tabled by the Cabinet Secretary. I will be moving them, but the Cabinet Secretary will be speaking to his amendments. Janet Finch-Saunders will be moving amendments tabled by Rhys ab Owen, as he isn't a formal member of the committee. Thank you very much. We will move on, therefore, to Stage 2 proceedings.</p>

2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care

<p>Thank you very much for that follow-up question.&nbsp;I just want to also take this opportunity to say how wonderful I think that Men's Sheds is and Men's Sheds Cymru. I recently went to visit the Ogmore branch with Huw Irranca-Davies because we had a delegation from Japan, because Japan are now going to copy the model, and there are going to be the first Men's Sheds in Japan, which I think is fantastic. Also, in Pencoed, I went out with the newly formed Men's Sheds there last week, and we were clearing public walkways. There's just so much that they do across Wales, and I'm very grateful.</p>
<p>I also wanted to say that the ambition for the strategy, as I said, is that we're going to be the first nation with our single session model. Open access is particularly key to this, and we know this from men and listening to men, that when they ask for help and they're in the space where they have come to that part where they can actually go and ask for that help, it's really important that they get it. We can also see this through the national 111 press 2 service that we have, because since it's been started, 200,000 calls have been received and 40 per cent of them have been from men. So, open access is obviously a format that men respond to, and we need to build upon that.</p>
<p>You mentioned men's health in the context of the suicide rate at the moment, which is very worrying. You will know that the UK Government are in the process of looking at doing a men's health strategy in that context. I'm watching keenly and reading through the evaluation and the information that's coming through so that we can better understand the needs of men. I think, actually, that there's been this narrative that men don't always reach out for help. However, some of what's coming through in the evaluation suggests that maybe we just don't always recognise the way that they ask. So, it's even more important, as we go forward, that we have that input from men to ensure that those services are there when they need them.</p>
<p>There will be a key role for the third sector in the mental health and well-being strategy, a 10-year strategy, but with a three-year delivery strategy to begin with. Many <span style="text-decoration: underline;">factors, as we know, can impact mental health,</span></p>

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government

<p>Diolch, Peredur. You mentioned that scheme in Lliswerry, which I know the Cabinet Secretary for the environment, Huw Irranca-Davies, attended.&nbsp;I know that that's something that is really important to that local community, and sometimes it's trying to explain that, really, isn't it, that that work and the investment has gone on to protect the local community from that potential flooding in the future.&nbsp;So, really, really good to see.</p>
<p>I think, as you say, it is really important that we come together to recognise some of the work that's going on, as well, across Welsh Government to prevent more flooding in the future, and make sure that we are agile to that, because we have to learn some of the lessons of the past few years.&nbsp;And I know that local authorities, such as Rhondda Cynon Taf, have worked really hard to really come across very quickly and be very much at the front line in terms of responding.&nbsp;So, there are some lessons that other local authorities need to be aware of as well, and I know that that's been shared through the WLGA as well.&nbsp;So, I certainly know that&nbsp;it's very much a priority. We know that we are going to see more of these events, and we know that we need to do everything that we can to protect our communities.</p>

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government

<p>Diolch, Peredur. Yes, this is something that we've seen over the last few years, in terms of the increased flooding. Obviously my Cabinet colleague Huw Irranca-Davies leads on that, and I know that we will be having some discussions around that, as well as when I speak to local authorities individually, and when I get around to speaking to them more directly, they will raise that, I'm sure, and we'll see how we can work together.</p>

3. Topical Questions

<p>Well, thank you, Tom Giffard for contributing your response to this question and, indeed for your reflections—important reflections—on this very important question this afternoon. The death and destruction in Gaza is causing an unbearable humanitarian catastrophe, and it is important that we acknowledge that today, and it is putting the hostages at risk, as their families have rightly recognised. Indeed, it was important that I did join you, Tom, and Luke Fletcher and Huw Irranca-Davies for your constituent affected as a hostage. That was important, that we do reach out. And indeed, this is something that I take responsibility for in terms of our faith communities forum, in terms of community cohesion. So, those were important reflections on this topical question today.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thank you very much, Sam Kurtz, for that supplementary question.&nbsp;You'll know that this responsibility for tackling rural crime lies within the portfolio of Huw Irranca-Davies, the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs. We welcome the NFU Mutual report, and I can assure you that the Government will continue to fund the Wales wildlife and rural crime co-ordinator until the summer of 2028, and it's actually that extended support that I am sure you will welcome. The strategy is going to be launched jointly with the police on Thursday 10 July.</p>

3. Financial implications of the Environment (Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill: Evidence session

<p>Indeed.&nbsp;So, here's the interesting thing, if and when, subject to the will of the Senedd and Royal Assent as well, this body is established. The people who are sitting there around the executive in these roles, on the board and so on, will have to make really clear decisions on priorities. That's going to be one of their biggest challenges. Now, if they actually—. We've set within the Bill how we avoid duplication of functions carried out by other bodies already. So, Sam, that burns off I think a lot of the things that you might be thinking in your background about a thousand Mrs Joneses from Tredegar, because what the body will do is it will say, 'We've had one from one Mrs Jones in Tredegar, but it is of such significance and our investigations and analysis say that one Mrs Jones will lead us to pursue this on a systemic basis, because we think there is a failure of environmental law and governance and planning.'</p>
<p>It would only take one Mrs Jones of Tredegar, but it could be a thousand. But it doesn't matter that it's a thousand, because that OEGW board and executive will have to decide: is the one equally as valid as a thousand? What they shouldn't be doing, Sam, is running around simply—. Here would be my simple layperson's explanation of it: they shouldn't be running around trying to duplicate what other bodies are doing, but what they should be doing with their expertise is saying, 'Is this an issue that Huw Irranca-Davies is failing on because one or 500 Mrs Joneses have said we've got an issue on x, y or z—you need to look at it?'</p>
