On 20 mph, I remember you supporting it. I remember you voting for it.

Business Statement and Announcement
I very much welcome the statement you've made, Trefnydd, this morning on the devolution of policing. I think many of us across this Chamber were profoundly disappointed by the statement made in the House of Commons yesterday by the Home Secretary, where she…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm very grateful to you, First Minister, for that. I tabled this question because I received correspondence from the children at Coed-y-Garn Primary School in Blaenau in my constituency. You'll see that they've written to me talking about the need for…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 6 - Evidence session with Channel 4
Okay. Fair enough.

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 6 - Evidence session with Channel 4
That's fine.

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 6 - Evidence session with Channel 4
Yes, but Wales is still a part of the United Kingdom.

Can I push you on this a bit? Sorry. Andy does a great job in terms of being a reporter from here, and he does a fantastic job in bringing Wales onto the agenda. Obviously we know Ciaran; his sister used to sit here, of course, so we know these people. But…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 6 - Evidence session with Channel 4
Thanks very much. We've discussed production and the portrayal and representation of Wales in the different genres. But in terms of your news, Channel 4 News is a great programme; I've been enjoying the reporting of the chaos in Davos this week. You do have a…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
Is it adequate? 'Yes' or 'no'.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
I understand the context. I understand that. 'Yes' or 'no'?
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
Okay. The question was: is 0.7 adequate and sufficient?
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
Okay. We're running out of time.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
So, do you think 0.7 is adequate?
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
Well, my experience is that you do.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
Well, tell me I'm wrong. You know I'm not wrong.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
Yes, clearly you would, but the people I represent don't feel that Ofcom is particularly on their side. And you know, I've heard representatives of channel 3 licence holders, in the wider sense, come here and say, every time an obligation is required of them…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
The problem is that you're not making regulation at all, and that's my real issue.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
[Inaudible.]—come here and say that quite regularly.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
So, to argue that you don't have any power over those licences to me just sounds very, very curious.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
You've set the programming obligations for channel 3 licences.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
But you set the programming obligations.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
I'm not asking you to be prescriptive.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 5 - Evidence session with Ofcom
I described the regulator, rather than individuals.
