Questions to the First Minister
This question follows on, in many ways, from my question last week about the ambulance service. This is the other end of the scale, where delays further down the way with the ambulance service might be caused by delayed transfers of care, which of course rely…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
I know we want to look forward not back, but it's worth noting that the reason we've got still a bus service at all is because of the bus emergency scheme, and its successor scheme, that was initiated during the coronavirus crisis. And that was Welsh…

Questions to the First Minister
On the pressure on the ambulance service, which was mentioned by the leader of the opposition, it's not as simple as just providing more staff in the ambulance service—more ambulance drivers, for example, or paramedics. It isn’t going to solve the problem…

Welsh in Education Strategic Plans (WESPS): Evidence session with local government representatives
Thank you. To what extent do you belive that the statutory regime for reviewing and revising 10-year WESPs is appropriate, and should it be a requirement for local authorities to undertake a full review of their WESPs after five years?
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Welsh in Education Strategic Plans (WESPS): Evidence session with local government representatives
Thank you, Chair. How adequate is the monitoring framework? Is the system sufficiently robust to enable long-term scrutiny of local authorities' progress against targets? And what role is there for Estyn in monitoring delivery of provision?

Welsh in Education Strategic Plans (WESPS): Evidence session with Welsh medium early years, post-16 and adult learner provision
[Inaudible.] Are the 10-year WESPs making sufficient links with other strategic education policies, for example the revised school improvement framework or the new Curriculum for Wales?

Excuse my clunky Welsh. I'm doing my best.

Estyn would probably have a role as well.

So, five-yearly monitoring is fine.

Thank you. Is the 10-year cycle appropriate in terms of ensuring that local authorities are appropriately monitored?

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Welsh Language Commissioner: Evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Yes, it has. How would you draw on your knowledge, skills and past experience to build on and progress the work of previous commissioners?

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Welsh Language Commissioner: Evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Thank you. And what is your general assessment of the current position of the Welsh language in Wales? And how will the challenges ahead, as well as progress made, shape your priorities?

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Welsh Language Commissioner: Evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Thank you very much, temporary Chair. I am a Welsh learner. Alun Davies asked my first question, therefore, in your view, what is your main priority in stepping into this role?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Yes, just to Hazel. I'm aware that there are disputes about use of common land as it's happened in my constituency, and I think the FUW actually supported a farmer in a dispute. Will this Bill have any implications for those kinds of disagreements on use of…

I don't want to put you on the spot—I understand that—but just to think about broad terms, how would the Government measure proportional benefit in the supply chain? What method should they use to assess whether certain points in the supply chain would…

Can I say, as a lay person here, wouldn't anything that benefits the local—I take your point about them having to be Welsh-based activities—supply chain, either upstream or downstream, more likely downstream, is going to benefit the suppliers, who are the…

I never know whether I should unmute myself or whether it's unmuted for me. That's the issue there. Can I just look at the supply chain? The White Paper stated that support may be needed for the wider industry and the food supply chain beyond the farm gate to…
