Minister, in March 2017 the accounts of Natural Resources Wales were not given a clean bill of health. It related to a timber contract given out over 10 years when the usual length of contract was five years. The company that was given the contract did not apply for the tender. The chief executive of Natural Resources Wales told the Public Accounts Committee that there had been a full business case to justify the decision, and then it turned out in the following meeting that the so-called business case did not contain a single financial figure—not one. He then said that it wasn’t a business case. There’s no evidence, we’re told, of value for money, and there are question marks on the lawfulness of the contract process.

So, given all these concerns, and especially the concern in the industry itself, how on earth can the chief executive of Natural Resources Wales be allowed to retire when there are so many questions to answer?
