Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:07 pm on 22 January 2020.
Yes, thanks for the answer. I was just trying to say, there was a little bit of discussion yesterday about the proposed congestion charge—that you're going to be involved in compiling the report with Cardiff county council, and that's good news, that there is going to be some hopefully meaningful liaison between the two of you.
Now, could I just raise one of many issues that you may need to consider? It's connected to something that a couple of your own party's Valleys Members have raised recently, which is people who can't get into Cardiff in time for work due to the problems of late services or changes in services, and they're facing sometimes disciplinary procedures in their workplace. This seems somewhat archaic because, in many offices, output can be recorded and monitored. I don't see the need in all cases for people to be at work for 9 o'clock. I wonder is there any chance of incentivising companies in Cardiff to allow more flexible working, which could possibly look at the issue from a demand side, and possibly reduce the demand for transport at peak hours into Cardiff.
