Craffu ar waith y Gweinidogion: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ddiwylliant a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. And I, perhaps, can send a note to you.

Okay, I think I'm going to have to pass over to Paul. I certainly didn't have a discussion—. When I met them, I didn't have a discussion around a review of English theatre. Regarding the budget, my understanding is that the two budgets are together.

Yes, absolutely. I don't disagree with anything Laura Anne has just said.

Yes, of course. I mentioned that I've had discussions with the Cabinet Secretary for economy to see if there's anything we can do in his portfolio; I've had discussions with Eluned Morgan as well. I'm just trying to find anything that I can.

So, again, you’re all very aware, and I know I’ve answered questions, particularly to the two Members over here, in the Chamber around it. I’m still trying to see if I can find some additional funding for them. ACW—the Arts Council of Wales—took a cut, but…

And she met with the principal. But I don’t know if you heard me saying that I was at the National Dance Company Wales yesterday, and we were talking about the lack of dance qualifications in Wales. So, I will be picking that up, because you’re absolutely…

Yes. I think the reason I said it was in Lynne Neagle’s portfolio was that I was trying to explain why I hadn’t answered the correspondence to the Chair.

Yes, absolutely. Well, I mentioned I'm having bilaterals with every Cabinet Secretary and Minister, so that will be on the agenda.

Okay. Clearly, the college is an autonomous organisation. They have to make their academic decisions, but, as I say, the Cabinet Secretary did meet, and I'm pleased to hear she has responded.

So, the college sits in Lynne Neagle's portfolio. I know she met the principal on Monday evening about it and, Chair, I think you wrote to me—

Well, I just mentioned about Celf ar y Cyd. So, that to me, now, is what we must be promoting. I was disappointed to hear Lee say he hadn't seen it before, because we are having a big push on the digitalisation of our national treasures. We've got 100,000…

Well, Creative Wales isn't in my portfolio, but certainly within my portfolio there are lots of opportunities. You heard me mention earlier that I went to the national dance company. I have to say, I knew very little about the national dance company before I…

So, if we think about it realistically, we're out to consultation now—the consultation doesn't close until 4 September. By the time we've had all the consultation responses in and we've come forward with an implementation plan, it's going to be next year. So…

So, I think we have to be very honest that all portfolios have got budget challenges. However, I've had very positive discussions with my Cabinet Secretary colleagues. I'm having bilaterals with them all over the summer recess to discuss a variety of issues…

So, I don't have any more revenue. I'm obviously very aware of the job losses; we had voluntary redundancies that no-one wants to see. I've met with the trade unions. I've met with the trade unions a couple of times now. Clearly, there are concerns about…
