Can I call for two statements? The first is an update on Welsh Government proposals for Gypsy/Travellers in the light of two outstanding consultations, the first being the consultation on the draft circular for the planning of Gypsy/Traveller and show-people sites, which closed, I believe, on 23 May, almost eight months ago; and secondly, the draft circular on enabling Gypsies, Roma and Travellers, which closed on 22 December, just before Christmas. The Gypsies and their supporters and friends I met in Conwy last Friday had been told by Welsh Government that the first of those consultations would see the final report being published before Christmas 2017. They told me that unless a local authority has planning approval for a specific site, it can't apply for grant funding, but that no north Wales local authority is presently in a place of preparedness and planning approval to submit grant funding applications. They further told me that when they met Welsh Government representatives in Llandudno Junction, they were grappling with what action the Cabinet Secretary could take against a local authority that failed to submit planning approvals and grant applications for sites and that they judged currently that the purchase on local authorities for Welsh Government was fairly modest. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could, or Welsh Government could, make a statement reflecting those two consultations and the concerns being expressed, certainly to me last Friday, by members of the community in north Wales.

Secondly and finally, can I call for a statement on local bus services? This follows the announcement on 16 December, Saturday, that Acrefair-based bus company D. Jones and Son were ceasing trading, two months after being the subject of scrutiny by the Traffic Commissioner for Wales public inquiry. No doubt like others, I received concerns from affected residents who had lost local bus services, asking for help in replacement of bus links. I submitted a written question to the Cabinet Secretary two days later, on the following Monday. I'm still waiting for a reply to that. I also contacted Wrexham council's lead member for environment and transport, who told me that officers were continuing to look at options; that this is difficult, as a number of operators have ceased across the region; that despite the Cabinet Secretary's bus summit, they'd seen no tangible actions coming forward; and having attended two of the three bus workshops, this was most certainly a wider issue across Wales. The Cabinet Secretary held his bus summit a year ago, in January 2017, stating that this was to halt the demise of the industry, following the collapse of Ruabon-based GHA coaches the previous summer. So, given the concerns being raised not only by affected residents, who often are on commercial rather than on commissioned routes, and given concerns being expressed that, still, no tangible actions are coming forward from the bus summit and subsequent workshops, I would welcome a statement to reflect their concerns and hopefully give them some assurance that they're being listened to.
