For the next hour a debate by Individual Members on physical activity.  

Lee Waters, Rhun ap Iorwerth, Huw Irranca-Davies and John Griffiths are proposing that the National Assembly for Wales: 

1. Recognises the multiple health and wellbeing benefits of physical activity.

2. Notes that only 35 per cent of Welsh children are getting the recommended hour of physical activity that they need every day. 

3. Recognises the potential of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 to raise levels of physical activity amongst all age groups. 

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to fully engage communities in identifying the new routes that would link up local destinations and would be most likely to be well used. 

Carl Sargeant disagrees with Adam Price's claim that there was a lack of consultation with tenants about a merger between Tai Cantref housing association and Wales and West Housing.

Janet Finch-Saunders calls on the government to "push local authorities to reinstate funding that's been cut for those suffering from hearing loss".  

Andrew RT Davies raises concerns about high pitch fees which restrict participation in sport.

Mr Davies last year set up the opening try for the assembly team which beat the the Commons and Lords team 33-14.  

Mr Sargeant says he will launch a care leavers accommodation framework on 19 October. 

Next questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children, Carl Sargeant. 

Labour AM Lee Waters asks for an update on measures to help young care leavers access to affordable housing. 

Labour's David Rees calls on the government to ensure that any regulations introduced for wood chip stocks are also included in planning guidance for biomass sites.   

Lesley Griffiths says she "recognises" concerns raised by Mohammad Asghar about unrestricted access to the countryside.

In response to Simon Thomas' question on greenhouse gas emission targets, Lesley Griffiths confirms that the target to reduce all Welsh emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2020 still stands.

Conservative Paul Davies raises concerns about the costs for farmers of complying with Welsh Government regulations on nitrate vulnerable zones.

He says the potential costs could place a heavy burden on Welsh farming.  

Lesley Griffiths says the proposals are currently out to consultation, external. 

Lesley Griffiths says the rural development programme is the main mechanism for supporting farmers.

Vikki Howells calls for including liming of soil in agricultural support schemes.  

Plenary begins with questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths. 

The first of the tabled questions, external is by Vikki Howells: Will the Minister provide an update on how the Welsh Government is supporting farmers in the Cynon Valley?

The committee is now meeting in private. 

Senedd Live will be back at 1.30pm for plenary.

"I agree that the status quo is not an option" says Mr Anderson.

He suggests the government has made a decision to go ahead with Historic Wales, given the manifesto commitment.  

If the museum loses management control of commercial functions it is being "tied by the legs", Mr Anderson tells the committee.  

He warns the closer that the museum gets to government "the more the chilling effect in getting funds from elsewhere".

 Many members refer to the options set out in the Price Waterhouse Cooper (PwC) report, “Investing in the future to protect the past, external” which considered the future of heritage services in Wales and set out four options.

"One of our great challenges is that there has been so little clarity, even though this idea has been in the semi-public domain since April," says Mr Anderson.

Mr Anderson says that the organisation has lost 33% of its budget in real terms since 2010.  

The argument could be that creating Historic Wales is the answer to that, he adds.
