Minutes:
Vaughan Gething MS declared a relevant interest in
accordance with Standing Order 17.24A. He confirmed that he would not take part
in the consideration of the petition, as the petitioner is known to him. He was
aware of the issues raised, particularly those relating to Cosmeston Lake,
which lies within his constituency. He has undertaken casework on the matter.
Joel James MS declared a relevant interest in accordance with Standing Order 17.24A. He had also been contacted on the issue which fell within his region.
The Committee considered the petition. Members recognised the strength of feeling on the issue, and Joel James MS expressed support for the petition. However, it was also noted that the Environment (Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill was currently under scrutiny by the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee (CCEI). In light of this, the Committee agreed to refer the petition to the CCEI Committee for awareness, thanked the petitioner for bringing the matter forward, and agreed to close the petition.
