Okay. In December 2022, the Welsh Government announced that the former president would lead a governance review of the status of Cadw. Was this linked to the former president stepping down from his role at the museum?

I do. Okay, I'll be very swift. What actions did the Welsh Ministers and the Welsh Government take when, in November 2021, the independent investigator concluded that the former president, 'had not always reached the highest standards and that his actions had…

No, I agree. That's lovely, but, as a committee, we don't know that that is the case. But also I just wanted to—. Final question, Chair; I know it's a sub-question and I know we're short on time. I just wanted to know: is there a particular reason why the…

That's fine, but I'd appreciate it if you tried, purely for the fact that we, as a committee, have a responsibility to ensure that the money is being spent, being spent well, being spent adequately. And I think that every single one of us could probably say…

Thank you, gentlemen. Just talking about the legal connotations of what was just asked by my colleague Rhianon Passmore, obviously, I'm aware of certain court cases that have taken place in the past personally and professionally. Once a judgment is made…

Mr Slade, Mr Thomas, I completely understand what you're talking about in relation to financial climate—I think we can all sympathise—but just playing devil's advocate here now, when you're writing off £42 million for an airport, buying farms for friends and…

Okay. The tailored review report recommended, and I'm quoting now: 'urgent attention should be given to the Library's financial needs'. Since the situation at that time was not sustainable, how has the Welsh Government and the National Library of Wales…

Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru: Amgueddfa Cymru
I understand. Just a subtle hint, I think, from myself, and I think the committee might agree, Mr Slade, that, when it comes to public money being spent on areas such as the National Library of Wales, I think the public and we also have an interest to know…

Okay. I know you mentioned that you're going to be sharing the report with us on the committee, and for that we're thankful, when we do receive it. But does the Welsh Government—because, technically, you do have a level of ownership on this—plan on doing any…

Okay. So, what role does the public bodies unit play in monitoring actions taken, following the tailored review, and what difference do you find that that's made so far?

Thank you very much, Chair. Gentleman, from my understanding—and I'm quite new to this committee; I've only been elected a couple of years—I understand that the previous committee, our predecessors here, actually had reservations and concerns, particularly in…

One other point if I may, Chair—I did forget. And they'd made an appointment of a gentleman called Reg Kilpatrick as the director general for the COVID recovery and local government group as the new director and chair of the WGC Holdco Ltd board. It would be…

Chair, I read the letter and I don't think I've violently highlighted any letter in my life as much as I've done this one. I totally agree with you, I'd very much like clarification on the £6 million-plus that's being spent on the scanners. I understand it's…

I'm happy to do that. That's fine.

Sorry, Chair, I just want to acknowledge that I'm sure the health committee is equally looking into the progress of what's happening with Betsi. Are they going to be doing some work on it, going forward? Is it something that we'll be revisiting later on in…

Weinidog, mae cysylltu plant ysgol â chyflogwyr posibl yn y dyfodol yn gwbl allweddol, ac mae'n rhywbeth y bûm yn gweithio'n galed i'w gyflawni ledled de-ddwyrain Cymru. Gan wisgo fy het dechnoleg am ryw bum eiliad, roeddwn i'n ddigon ffodus i ymweld â…

Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes
Gweinidog, a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan y Llywodraeth ar faterion parhaus yn ymwneud â'n rhwydwaith bysiau? Rwy'n deall bod y Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd, sy'n gyfrifol am y materion hyn, i ffwrdd am gyfnod amhenodol, ac rwy'n dymuno'r gorau iddo'n…

I agree, but, just for our understanding as a committee, we would equally like to see how those payments are going to be spread out over the coming years and how it's going to be shown in your accounts. I think that's what we'd just like to see as a committee.
