Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 6
I've just got a question on the increase in the maximum fine proposed for illegal felling from level 4, which was limited to £2,500, to a potentially unlimited fine for illegal felling, and the panel's views on that.

I think my question has been addressed.

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 5
I'll ask my question very quickly because of the time. Regarding the issue of marketing standards and carcass classification, are the powers in the Bill appropriate, and are appropriate mechanisms in place for UK co-ordination on marketing standards, and…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales and Trefnydd
My question arises, as some other questions have today, from the scrutiny we're doing of the Wales agriculture Bill in committee. Particularly, one of the issues that were raised last week was funding for the supply chain in addition to that directly targeted…

I think, Chair, to get into that kind of depth probably requires more time than we've got today, but what seems to be clear is that we're not there yet.

So, with that in mind, are any of you aware of the Speakers for Schools programme run by Gyrfa Cymru/Careers Wales? Do you engage with that? It's just a 'yes' or 'no' question, I suppose. No, okay, that's an interesting answer. Is there anything else that…

There's a good question there about accessing those young people who are, say, I don't know, 12 to 14, who are thinking about their futures at that point prior to GCSEs. I understand from people in the education sector I've spoken to that it's very difficult…

Just before I come to Clara, you made an interesting point about the data. How much reliable and accurate data do we have about inclusion in the creative industries? It sounds like different bodies are doing different pieces of work, but there's no overall…

And just because I'm conscious of time, Dafydd, I'm going to move on and ask the same question of Clara and Gillian. Is there anything you'd like to add around those issues?

I'll give you an example. I do an awful lot of work with the autistic community in and around Caerphilly. People with autism—and I'm directly affected by this—find it difficult to socialise and engage with creative projects, which they would actually hugely…

So, what about in communities like mine, where people would find it difficult to access the creative industries? Can you give examples of what's happening—what those grants mean in practice in those communities?

I'd like to ask about equality, diversity and inclusion, which I understand is a very broad topic and we can't go into a lot of detail. But can I first ask about the arts council's submission, which says that your 'actions to improve equality and diversity…

And just so that we can understand how things may improve, how reliable is the data that we've got at the moment? Is it thorough and reliable and does it reflect what is going on, or do you think we need to improve our understanding of what's happening?

Just before I move on to Justin, I just wonder—. Obviously, you're in a university position looking at this; what about if there are young people in school, aged 14 and 15, who are interested in this? Is it hard to access those kinds of people to encourage…

My questions are on equality, diversity and inclusion. It's a very broad area and very difficult to do more than scratch the surface in a couple of questions. But, my opening question would be: there are people who would benefit from being involved in the…
