But the shadow broadcasting and communications authority for Wales isn't the devolution of broadcasting—they're two separate things. Obviously, the shadow broadcasting authority addresses all of these in terms of looking at how those models would work, how we…

Well, if we look at the evidence that's actually been submitted to various inquiries, and actually look at the reality on the ground, we shouldn't take for granted that that's secure at the moment. BBC, ITV and S4C have all over the summer outlined the…

I would think that we would all see that there are huge challenges at the moment with our public service broadcasting in terms of cuts that they've seen, additional cuts announced over the summer, and why we need a strong media for our democracy, which holds…

Rydyn ni’n dechrau efo naw awdurdod lleol, a'r bwriad o hwnnw ydy dysgu gwersi, fel roedd Rebeca'n sôn amdano fo, o ran y newid o ran ardaloedd gwledig, ardaloedd trefol ac ati, ein bod ni wir angen gweld hefyd beth ydy'r heriau sydd yn dod, ydy hwn yn cael…

Cwestiwn da iawn, oherwydd dyna un o'r heriau. Dwi'n meddwl pan mae pethau wedi cael eu colli, mae'n dangos i bobl pa mor heriol ydy o wedyn. A dyna pam, dwi'n meddwl, roedd o'n anodd iawn, heb i ni wir wybod beth yw'r sefyllfa, a hefyd cydweithio efo…

Diolch am y cwestiwn yna. Dwi'n meddwl mai un o'r heriau mwyaf, fel roeddwn i'n sôn, ydy'r diffyg data sydd wedi bod i weld, yn un peth, beth sydd wedi'i golli, beth sydd mewn perygl o gael ei golli sydd rhywsut wedi medru goroesi hyd yma, ac wedyn edrych ar…

It's a question I'm asking at the moment. I don't know if it will be in the strategy itself because it will be very different for each of the organisations and the sectors in terms of how they do that. Clearly, that has to be something we look at. I've been…

I share your concerns. I would be on record asking questions of previous Ministers on this, because it is a hugely important venue, as you've outlined, for our nation, as well as our capital city. I haven't had that dialogue yet. I have met informally with…

Yes, and I think it's really important that we learn from what's happened in terms of that dispersed model, and, obviously, as part of developing the new strategy, I completely agree with you. I don't want to leave this committee under any ambiguity. I would…

We are looking at a number of measures, and this comes back to the point that Paul Davies was asking me in terms of measures as well. Obviously, some of it will be economic, some of it is about health and well-being and prevention, and it's trying to look at…

Not necessarily. I think what I'm saying is that I don't know at this point in time. Clearly, the Government does not have the kinds of sums available to it at the moment, unless it was to take away from what's needed in terms of that backlog maintenance. But…

Well, at the moment, none of our national institutions are self-funding. So, we are in a very different position to some nations, when you look in terms of philanthropy and so on. So, I do think, in terms of the future of the sector, looking at how we…

I think it's important that we remain ambitious as a Government and identify those projects that we should have as a nation, and I would argue that we should have a national gallery of contemporary art. I think that challenge then is that, when you see the…

Definitely, because I think some of the things have been as well—. I've heard of projects mentioned in terms of 'shovel-ready projects' because money has suddenly become available. And that might not be an organisation's priority in terms of what it needs…

Currently, it is going from year to year. There are huge challenges for some of our arm's-length bodies in the way that pay settlements aren't automatically awarded to them either. So, that's a constant dialogue with Government, so it creates a lot of…

Wel, un o'r pethau dwi wedi gofyn i swyddogion weithio arno efo sefydliadau sy'n derbyn nawdd ydy deall beth ydy'r gwir fuddsoddiad sydd ei angen ar ein sefydliadau cenedlaethol ni—nid beth maen nhw'n gallu ei wneud efo'r arian sydd ganddyn nhw, ond beth…
