No, I don't think it was—

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…

Yes, that's absolutely the position at the current time. And certainly, when I came into post, obviously, we still had the co-operation agreement, and I had a few chats with Siân Gwenllian and Cefin Campbell around that. And I think we all recognise that we…

Yes. We've got nine, and somewhere in here I have a list of the nine local galleries, museums that are already hosting exhibitions—there we go; Paul's just found it—right across Wales. So, they're already hosting exhibitions. We're carrying on with the…

Yes, absolutely. They were, obviously, both commitments that were in place before I came into portfolio. But, obviously, I'm the Member for Wrexham, so I know that the football museum is progressing well. I'm hoping to visit Theatr Clwyd over the summer…

Craffu ar waith y Gweinidogion: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ddiwylliant a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Yes, absolutely. The commitment for the National Slate Museum is still there. When I came into portfolio—and, of course, I've been north Wales Minister as well—like you, I was never very clear what we meant by the national museum for north Wales. So, for me…

It is capital funding; it's not revenue funding. The jobs aspect is a separate thing, and I'll come to that in a moment. It's not just about the roof, but that is the immediate concern. I've never seen so many buckets as I saw catching water in the national…

Obviously, I inherited a very reduced budget. I was part of that collective decision, as a Member of the Government, so, when I came into the portfolio, I knew the significant cuts that had been right across the portfolio, but particularly in the culture…

Thank you. I think it’s a very good marriage, if you like, between culture and social justice, and I really want to embrace the possibilities. I have to say I’ve been very impressed, with the visits I’ve been to, in this sector, how they’re already embracing…
