Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 6 - Case study
Okay, and, just in case, Robyn, if you wanted to add anything or not.

Okay. And can I ask the same question of Debbie as well, please?

Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 6 - Case study
Could I ask a question to Dafydd, first of all? What exactly can Welsh Government do to give assurance in the supply chain? What exactly can they do about that?

Questions to the First Minister
That's very useful to know about that statement. I've worked closely with Engage to Change, which is led by Learning Disability Wales and is based at Cardiff University, and what they do is provide a job coaching scheme for people with additional learning…

5. What consideration has the Welsh Government given to introducing job-coaching support as part of future proposals for its employability and skills programmes, including ReAct Plus and Communities for Work Plus? OQ61179

Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
Yes. And we've had a letter—sorry, Chair—today from the new economy Minister, who's made it clear that the problem with developing new green skills, new green courses, is that the apprenticeship levy takes money out of Wales; there's a net loss to Wales as a…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
The last thing, Chair, just on funding, seeing as we're talking about that, is my concern is that the Welsh Government is funding a limited array of degree apprenticeships. That money cannot come from apprenticeships below degree level. I think there needs to…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
Okay, that's fine.
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
Yes. And that's exactly how it could happen with things like—. I always take the example of Transport for Wales, because they're in the public sector and can be instructed to do this, unlike, perhaps, companies in the private sector. And you would want…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
And the two issues I've said is that the Welsh Government need to ensure that young people are provided with full clarity on what options are going to be available to them in post-compulsory education at an early stage. In order to do that, you've got to get…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
One of the other things, before we come to the other panellists, and I'd be interested to hear ColegauCymru's view, but for the other panellists, I've talked about the vertical integration between lower level apprenticeships and higher level apprenticeships…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Skills Providers
I just want to challenge something Jenny Rathbone just said, which I don't agree with, which is that degree apprenticeships are in male-dominated areas. I think the challenge is to get women to be taking up some of the opportunities that are currently in rail…

Would Professor Dwyer like to say anything about the scheme in the context of existing and future international trade deals and WTO rules?

Thanks, Chair.

Can I ask how the scheme sits within existing and planned international trade deals, and also within the rules of the World Trade Organization?

Plaid Cymru Debate: Coal tip and opencast mine remediation
I completely take that point. I think that's a really reasonable and good point to make, and also the issue that Rhianon raised about the road going through. I'm not here to advocate for ERI in any way, and I'm as sceptical as you are, but one thing they have…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Coal tip and opencast mine remediation
I'd ask Joel to come and visit Senghenydd mining memorial museum and the garden there. The garden was designated as the national mining disaster memorial garden of Wales by Mark Drakeford, in a previous role, and Dawn Bowden as well. And I have to pay tribute…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Coal tip and opencast mine remediation
I just wanted to say that Senghenydd is in my constituency, which was the site of the Universal Colliery disaster in 1913 in which 439 people working the pit were killed. I think that does actually support the argument made by Plaid Cymru that it was…

Debate on petition P-06-1392, 'Reform of the additional learning needs Code of Wales 2021'
I took some time out from the Children, Young People and Education Committee—a number of years, actually—because some of the things we were discussing became so close to home for me that I found it quite uncomfortable being on the committee, because I'm…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
Diolch, Cabinet Secretary. I'm asking my question today based on the experience of constituents who had a fire sprinkler system installed in a new-build house that was recognised as faulty within two years of them moving in, and it was only through the…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
I think that we should make an effort to reassure people in Bedwas that category D does not necessarily mean immediate risk, and that the tip is subject, because it's category D, to a very rigorous monthly inspection regime. That's all I'll say about Bedwas…
