Culture and the new relationship with the EU: Evidence session with Brexit experts (7)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Turning back to the trade and co-operation agreement, I'm looking at the layout of the agreement and the structure. The civil society forum is fed by UK and EU domestic advisory groups. One of the issues that we've found is that the UK…

Short Debate: Mobile phone use in schools in Wales: The challenges for teachers and learners
Some learners having a hard time in school feel comforted by having their device, so they can contact family members for reassurance during the day, and many feel pupils just feel comfort having the mobile phone in their bag next to them. Another issue that…

Diolch, Llywydd. I'd just like to say that the speech I'm about to make was written by digital leaders in year 9—I said year 10 yesterday; it was actually year 9—of Bedwas High School, and they're in the gallery today: Reggie Dovener, Nia Parsons and Kaia…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Minister for Economy
Yes. The only thing I've noted was the fact that the previous Minister was telling us that she was struggling to have any contact with DEFRA, but you seem to have managed it. Finally, my last question, given we're pushed for time—the UK-EU future trade…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Minister for Economy
Just to say, before I ask my last question, the agriculture Minister was with us in the previous session, and she was saying how difficult it was to meet with DEFRA Ministers. But you've had recent meetings with DEFRA Ministers.

, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
General Ministerial Scrutiny: Minister for Economy
It would be very helpful to have a look at that.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. The apprenticeship strategy that you launched on 27 February in the Chamber made much of the importance of connectivity across apprenticeships at all levels, which was really very good to see. Of course, you've launched the rail engineering…

You have concerns, then, about the 35 per cent negotiated total level of catches that have been decided by the UK Government, and you would have made representations on that?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
General Ministerial Scrutiny: Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
[Inaudible.]—as best we can. Would the committee perhaps writing to the UK agriculture Minister be helpful? What else can be done to improve this position?

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I'd like to ask about the discussions the Minister has had with regard to fisheries and particularly access to water. I understand the UK Government is negotiating access to water with the EU from 2026. Can I understand, then, the Welsh…
