One-day inquiry into the development of post-16 Welsh language provision: evidence session with post-16 education and training organisations
Well, I can't formulate questions and translate in my head at the same time. [Laughter.] I'm trying to understand, with regard to CTER, who approached who. So, you've mentioned that they need to have Welsh language as a strategic priority in post-16…

Let me switch to English. Chair, I'm going to go to English. I'm trying to understand—[Interruption.] Sorry? I can't hear you, Chair.

Thank you, Chair. May I ask Ioan about the relationship between the coleg Cymraeg and CTER and how exactly it will use its influence to support the Welsh language? And what informal discussions have there been with Julie Lydon and Simon Pirotte?

Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 3 - Independent experts
What I'll do, Chair, is I'll combine the questions I was going to ask into one question, really, and ask the panel to address that, which is the supply chain, and transitions within the supply chain. One of the things we've heard, for example, is that there…

I should add, Ned, that the Welsh Government has established a degree apprenticeship in rail engineering, which is intended to keep Welsh employees in Wales to run Transport for Wales services. I think that's quite impressive, but I think we need to…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 3 - Independent experts
I interviewed the FSB, the Federation of Small Businesses, and the Confederation of British Industry in Wales through the course of my research, and one of the things they said is that employers want to see immediate outcomes, and therefore they tend to…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'd like to focus on skills shortages, and one of the things that research I've done has shown is that there's a fragmentation of the sector, particularly between levels of education—primary, secondary, tertiary and higher education—but…

Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 2 - Alternative Models of Ownership
Diolch, Cadeirydd. That's really helpful. I think, when it comes back to scrutiny of the new Government, we'll be using some of the transcripts from this session to inform our scrutiny. So, that's very helpful. Thanks, Chair.

Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 2 - Alternative Models of Ownership
With all that in mind, what do you think the main priorities of the First Minister should be in that regard, if you were to pick out key items that you think should be taken from the manifesto and also what you would like to see?

Inquiry: Green Economy - Panel 2 - Alternative Models of Ownership
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Would the panel like to say anything more about innovative funding models for transition and models of ownership, and, particularly, Community Energy Wales mentioned that patient underwriting of equity stakes—can you just elaborate on what…

I recommend they don't use the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Cadeirydd, but that's another point. I'll stop there.

Has the Act constrained you in ways that we might not anticipate, or have you covered that, do you think?

Apologies—my line cut out just at the end of that, so I missed the last bit, so apologies if I repeat anything that's already been asked. I know the Scottish Parliament had to have an Act of Parliament in 2020 to establish the bank, and it required various…

Okay. And perhaps I'll invite Charlotte as well to respond to the broader question: what lessons might we take from your research, as a committee, that haven't already been mentioned in detail?

And I'd also like to look at a broader issue and that's the relationship between the EU and the UK at the moment. Previous witnesses have told us that it's vastly improved—that the relationships are better than they've been at any time since Brexit. Is that…
