I am pleased the committee recognises the progress we have made in addressing issues previously raised by Auditor General Wales. In your letter you asked for additional clarification relating to what mensuration data we hold and how we use it. Details of the methodology used by NRW to estimate the likely timber yields in coupes to be sold. We follow UK forest industry standard conventions for timber mensuration, and sell all produce by weight in tonnes. This approach ensures a standard methodology is understood by both customer and the forest grower, and the sale by weight ensures that all produce uplifted from the Welsh Government Woodland Estate (WGWE) is paid for by the custumer, to ensure we attain the market value at that time for all produce supplied. Whilst we transfer the risk to the customer of timber harvesting and obtaining the highest value products from each crop of trees sold, the sale by weight ensures that we obtain income from every tonne of timber produced, irrespective of the estimated measurement of timber to be derived from a site which is used at the sale point. Our current timber sale method is via open competition and thereby ensures we attain the highest current market value for the products sold at the time of sale. We use the industry measuring conventions as prescribed in Forest Mensuration, A handbook for practitioners (Second Edition 2006), Forestry Commission. This is the standard used in the UK and is the taught method for industry professionals. Our Timber Measurement Field Guide 2008 FC49 is an abridged version of this Handbook. We measure our clearfells using the Abbreviated Tariff AB6 method. Both Forestry England and Forestry and Land Scotland use the same AB6 method by default and also Tŷ Cambria • 29 Heol Casnewydd • Caerdydd • CF24 0TP Cambria House • 29 Newport Road • Cardiff • CF24 0TP Croesewir gohebiaeth yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg Pack Page 53 Correspondence welcomed in Welsh and English publish the measurement method in the sales particulars. This method gives a 95% confidence interval of +/-20% accuracy in volume and product assortment (p96). A B6 is one of the less accurate methods but is cheaper. The more variation in a parcel (species, age, yield class), the greater the chance of falling outside of the 95% confidence interval. A more expensive full tariff method will give a +/- 12% accuracy to 95% confidence. There is a slight variation in our approach to thinning measurement across NRW, but teams still use conventions as described in the Handbook. The reasons why the estimated timber yield specified in many Standing Sales+ contracts varied significantly from those achieved in practice (see paragraph 2.8 and Table 6 of the Supplementary Memorandum). Typically, timber chosen for standing sales plus contracts includes low value and poorer quality crops therefore the expense of tree measurement will have been less than for a higher value parcel of timber. This practice would further lower the confidence limits of accuracy. In respect of figures provided to Wales Audit Office on this subject in March 2019, the figures provided were a snapshot at that point in time and did not account for accruals within the finance system. Therefore, the anticipated volume and income for financial year 2019/20 were higher than the actual obtained during this current financial year. Only once the final settlement and despatch of timber from each contract is administered do we obtain a final figure to enable contract closure. This gives us assurance that we obtained the unit value of all timber sold for all timber harvested from a given site. The extent to which NRW’s approach to mensuration is industry standard, i.e. is the same methodology used by the Forestry Commission and Forestry and Land Scotland? As explained above, we use the same as both Forestry England and Forestry and Land Scotland. How is NRW doing to improve the quality of the mensuration data it holds. We have amended our new terms and conditions for timber sales contracts to offer an estimate of volume in a given stand of timber. The customer is responsible for satisfying themselves with regards to the quantity and quality of timber supplied, and so we transfer the risk to the customer, although we retain the assurance of being paid for every tonne of timber harvested from the WGWE. We have a dedicated all Wales team who undertake the timber measurement assessments and surveys, to ensure consistency of accuracy. Our all Wales team have already identified new technology and importantly some areas for improvement in respect of recording of data. Examples include sub compartment data base records and adoption of new technology such as measurement tree calipers. www.naturalresources.wales Pack Page 54 www.cyfoethnaturiol.cymru Page 2 of 3 In response to improving the timber mensuration and wider forest survey data, our All Wales survey team have undertaken a framework supplier tender for the provision of new survey technology and delivery of the timber mensuration demand on the WGWE. Without dismissing the long-standing traditional contract resource, the invitations to tender have been distributed wider to include the new technology such as light detection and ranging and satellite imagery. In the short term the intensity of timber measurement is now based on the predicted value of a given stand. The higher the value of timber the higher density of measurement of trees, and subsequent greater confidence in accuracy of measure. I hope this explanation is helpful and provides the necessary information you requested. Yours sincerely, Clare Pillman Prif Weithredwr, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru Chief Executive, Natural Resources Wales www.naturalresources.wales Pack Page 55 www.cyfoethnaturiol.cymru Page 3 of 3 Y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus / Public Accounts Committee PAC(5)-08-02 PTN2 AgendaGrwp yr Item Economi, 3.2 Sgiliau a Chyfoeth Naturiol Economy, Skills and Natural Resources Group Cyfarwyddwr Cyffredinol - Director General Nick Ramsay AM Chair – Public Accounts Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Cardiff CF99 1NA 24 February 2020 Dear Chair CARDIFF AIRPORT I am responding to your letter of 14 January in relation to the above. I understand you have kindly agreed to accept this response in lieu of receiving a separate evidence paper in advance of a further scrutiny session with Welsh Government officials on this subject, which is being arranged to take place in March. Firstly, I am sorry for any confusion caused by use of the “Commercial in Confidence” marking on my previous letter. While this is an appropriate precaution to take in relevant circumstances, we recognise much of the high level information contained in my previous letter is in the public domain in one form or another. While we were carrying forward work under that protected heading, I agree use of the Commercial in Confidence marking in that specific instance was unnecessary. Loan Facility As you know, at the end of 2019, the Minister for Economy and Transport agreed to provide an extended commercial loan facility to the airport of up to £21.2m. The loan refinancing will ensure Cardiff Airport (CIAL) is well placed to continue investing in areas like the airport buildings and infrastructure, its route development, and necessary upgrades to maintain regulatory compliance with changing standards in baggage screening and border security. For example, during 2022-23, CIAL will need to invest an estimated £5m to meet UK-wide regulatory change in the next generation of security screening.

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • Landranger Bar Reprints (Pdf)
    LANDRANGER ‘BAR’ REPRINTS The list includes all known bar reprints published up to late 2012. When I started it, ‘bar’ reprints were uncommon and generally issued to correct one or more errors on the previous edition. But as Ordnance Survey publication policy has evolved over the years they have become much more common and now include substantial change: in 2013 over half of new Landranger editions were bar reprints. I have therefore decided to discontinue updates, except when a bar reprint is issued solely to correct errors. William Henwood. September 2014. Edition: square brackets enclose bars omitted from the map, either by accident or design. Examples include sheet 135 where First Series A was directly followed by A//*. There was an intermediate state which should have been A/. Sheet 189 Second Series A/*/* was ‘Reprinted with major changes’. 2 years later a further state was described as ‘Reprinted with minor changes’; this should have been A/*/*/. Dates: are expressed as mm/yy. Those without brackets are taken from OS publication reports. Square brackets enclose relevant GSGS print code dates. Round brackets enclose printing dates taken from Richard Oliver’s notes on First Series job files. Question marks indicate a lack of dating evidence, the date given being based on when the state was first seen or purchased. Imprints: All text is pre-fixed by ‘Reprinted with’. Min Ch = minor change. Min Chs = minor changes. Min Corrs = minor corrections. Corrs = corrections. Dots thus........indicate that part or all of the text is found in the Distinguishing Features column. [None] = no text relating to the reprint (though the text of an earlier state may remain).

  • The Welsh Economy and Covid-19
    Written evidence submitted by Cardiff Airport (COV0033) Welsh Affairs Committee: The Welsh economy and Covid-19 Response by Cardiff Airport Scope of response This response is specifically about Cardiff Airport within the context of the Welsh economy and challenges impacting the aviation industry. Our response includes reference to the following points raised by the Committee for consideration: • What additional flexibility is needed to support seasonal industries, such as tourism and agriculture, during the pandemic? • What additional financial support does the Welsh economy require in order to survive during the pandemic and to recover afterwards? • How effectively are the UK and Welsh Governments working together in ensuring sufficient support is provided to the Welsh economy during, and after, the pandemic? • What additional financial powers and budgetary flexibility should be provided to the Welsh Government in response to the pandemic? Introduction Cardiff Airport is an important part of the transport infrastructure in Wales and a major contributor to the local economy, supporting 2,400¹ aviation-related jobs. As the national airport for Wales, it drives over £246m¹ of direct economic benefit to the region every year with over 30%² of passengers being visitors to the country. Cardiff Airport ended the 2019/20 financial year at 1.588³ million passengers, which represents flat passenger growth year on year (at the end of February 2020 and prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, annual passenger growth was 7%). This follows growth of 7% in 2018, 9% in 2017 and 16% in 2016. Prior to COVID-19 passenger growth had reached over 50% since the Airport came under public ownership in 2013.

  • Consultation Response PA14. Welsh Local Government Association PDF
    NAfW inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and airports February 2012 INTRODUCTION 1. The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) represents the 22 local authorities in Wales, and the three national park authorities, the three fire and rescue authorities, and four police authorities are associate members. 2. It seeks to provide representation to local authorities within an emerging policy framework that satisfies the key priorities of our members and delivers a broad range of services that add value to Welsh Local Government and the communities they serve. 3. The WLGA welcomes this opportunity to feed comments into the NAfW‟s inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and airports. Tables 1 and 2 below show that local authorities have a major interest in this issue with ten authorities having an airport/aircraft facility in their area and eight having a port – six have both. Overall, twelve authorities have an airport and/or a port – all of varying degrees of scale and activity. (In addition there are a number of former ports that have ceased to operate on a large scale but now house other activities including fishing and tourism related activity).

The Wales Audit Office team who assisted me in preparing this report comprised Jeremy Morgan and Matthew Mortlock under the direction of Gillian Body. Huw Vaughan Thomas Auditor General for Wales Wales Audit Office 24 Cathedral Road Cardiff CF11 9LJ The Auditor General is totally independent of the National Assembly and Welsh Government. He examines and certifies the accounts of the Welsh Government and its sponsored and related public bodies, including NHS bodies in Wales. He also has the statutory power to report to the National Assembly on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which those organisations have used, and may improve the use of, their resources in discharging their functions. The Auditor General also appoints auditors to local government bodies in Wales, conducts and promotes value for money studies in the local government sector and inspects for compliance with best value requirements under the Wales Programme for Improvement. However, in order to protect the constitutional position of local government, he does not report to the National Assembly specifically on such local government work, except where required to do so by statute.
