Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 2 - Evidence session with academics
Thank you, Chair. Obviously, it's a fascinating interim review. I just note that it's received support from the Welsh Government. So, I just wondered who this will be reported to and what the engagement with broadcasters is to ensure that it does have a…

And, if I may, just in terms, then, of that partnership working, and that strategic direction, obviously, some of the things you've mentioned, in terms of Welsh language programming, that transfers to digital as well. So, I'd just be interested to see, in…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
I just wanted to, perhaps, just go back. You mentioned in terms of the seed funding, Magnus, and I just wondered if you know the figures in terms of how many people have been supported here in Wales, or a breakdown by nation. I think that would be useful to…

So, in terms of how you engage in other nations and regions, is that every few years as well? I'm just curious because you mentioned that you may do something similar, again, in Wales. New facilities, new investments, new ideas are generated, people enter the…

I just was curious in terms of your last point, because, obviously, in response to my colleagues, you were mentioning the success of that visit and you said perhaps it's something you may do again. I just wonder where that strategy is in terms of engagement…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: NHS Winter Pressures
I'd certainly be grateful for that information, because you mentioned, in your statement and in your responses, things broadly remained resilient. But where that wasn't the case, I think it's really important that we understand how those lessons are being…

Do you not accept that, because of our proximity, we've always enjoyed having strong connections? Many of us feel European because of those connections. You look back at the connection between Wales going back with Ireland, other European nations, your…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Brexit and the future relationship with the EU
We have to be honest about the impact of Brexit on Wales and put in place a strategy to mitigate that. We are not going to restore faith in this Senedd or in any politician if we're not honest about the impact on Wales, and that we do insist that the UK…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Brexit and the future relationship with the EU
Diolch yn fawr iawn. I would say there is a slight hypocrisy when you do enjoy the whole benefits of EU citizenship, whereas we have had those denied, and we're seeing the impact of that on people in our communities. And the people of Wales have had their say…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Brexit and the future relationship with the EU
Diolch, Llywydd. I’d like to start with the point you were ending on, Alun Davies, in terms of honesty, because that's the one thing that was lacking from those that were advocating for Brexit, and it is important, because it did damage politicians. It has…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
