Business Statement and Announcement
Could I ask you, Trefnydd, for a statement on the devolution of policing and the devolution of criminal justice? These are matters of urgency in terms of social justice in Wales and the administration of justice in Wales. It's been some years now since the…

Questions to the First Minister
The devolution of rail infrastructure, of course, is an urgent necessity. There's a tale of two valleys in my new constituency, which I'm hoping to represent after the election: first of all, in the Rhymney valley, where the line is devolved and there has…

I'm content with the remarks made by the Counsel General.

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.7
I think, since now we've raised inconsistencies between the English and Welsh languages on almost every reporting point here, then I think it's worth a note to the First Minister to explain yet again, or the Counsel General, that this has been a theme…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 2 - Evidence session with academics
I agree with you on the point of independence. I think many of us have been concerned over the years about the way that different Ministers have sought to potentially bully public service broadcasters in different ways, and I can't see that changing, quite…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 2 - Evidence session with academics
In terms of where we're going, and this is far too big a subject to cover in the next few minutes, the licence fee is becoming an anachronism in many ways, and not a long-term, sustainable means of funding the BBC. I agree with the objectives that Carwyn has…

I'm grateful to you for this. In taking this forward, what we've got on the horizon, of course, is the BBC charter review. And I'm interested, Carwyn, if perhaps you could outline how you would see charter review as a process helping to contribute towards the…

Yes, I'm grateful to you for your time this morning. In terms of the charter review that's coming up, you referenced the BBC in an earlier response, and I'm interested in the view that you are developing in terms of your approach to the charter review…

If you had that commitment, you'd plan to meet that ambition, you see, and that's where I think you're lacking.

So, what's your plan for going forward, then, to ensure that this momentum is maintained?

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
But if I wanted to do better I would plan to do better, and I would plan to have objectives and targets and indicators that would enable me to know if I'm on target to achieve something. And I recognise what you're saying, you wouldn't go from, say, 1 per…

Can I come in on this as well, because I'm listening to the exchange, and it's a fascinating exchange in lots of different ways, but you seem so London-centric in your outlook? Other broadcasters, other public broadcasters, of course, have moved commissioners…
