Papers to note
Nothing bespoke to add, but I do agree with the point that Alun has made there. I think it's a fair one.

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with national broadcasters
No, that's great. Thank you.

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with national broadcasters
Thank you, Delyth. Just one question from me. I'm just wondering, over and above anything you've already mentioned, do you feel like the workforce needs any further support from public bodies, both in relation to the increased costs of living, and perhaps…

90-second Statements
We've been blessed, I think, in Wales with a long line of wonderful footballers, from Billy Meredith to John Charles, Mark Hughes, Ian Rush and Aaron Ramsey, to name but a few. I think, as a small nation, we've always punched above our weight with the talent…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Minister, although the new schools in Brackla and Porthcawl, which Sarah just mentioned, are worth welcoming, it’s important to remind ourselves where Bridgend County Borough Council is in terms of the provision of Welsh-medium school places. We know that…

Statement by Peter Fox: Introduction of a Member Proposed Bill: Food (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Can I also welcome Peter Fox's statement this afternoon? As I share an office or have an office next door to yours upstairs, Peter, I know how hard you have worked on this Bill and your staff—in particular, Tyler Walsh—as well, so I…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Can I thank Mike Hedges for tabling the question? Although I'm not too sure where his supplementary came from. But the Minister will no doubt be aware of the importance of the SA1 site and the investment and high-value jobs that come with the development. The…

Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report—'Levelling the playing field: A report on participation in sport and physical activity in disadvantaged areas'
Yes, absolutely, and it's not just—I can't remember the exact quote, but one of our witnesses came to the committee and said that sport was not just for people who are really good at sport; sport should be for everybody as well. We heard, though, from many…

Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report—'Levelling the playing field: A report on participation in sport and physical activity in disadvantaged areas'
As a member of the committee, can I pay tribute to and thank all those that gave evidence to us on the committee during the inquiry, and, as Delyth has done, thank the clerks and the research team for ensuring that the inquiry was held in a timely and…

Debate on the Finance Committee Report—'Post-EU funding arrangements'
I'm grateful to you for that. You'll be aware that the Penprysg railway bridge is something that benefits from the UK Government's levelling-up fund, and your MP colleague Chris Elmore has put his name to that. Are you saying that's the wrong decision?
30 November 2022 , Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Minister, in your prepared answer there, you called on the Chancellor to invest in people and public services. Well, I think we can call on you to do the same. You've had £1.2 billion extra from the UK Government, on top of a record settlement that existed…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
Pauline.

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
Thank you. There's just something I wanted to come back on, because I think there was a little bit of a mix there in terms of the assessment of the health of the industry more generally. Do you think those kinds of benefits in the growth of the screen…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
Okay, thank you. And sorry, Gabriella, did you want to come in as well?

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
And just to follow up on that, where there are gaps in one area, and perhaps an oversupply, if you like, in another in terms of workforce, do you find that people will move from one sub-sector to another within creative industries? Are the skills transferable…

Great. Anybody else?

Great. Anybody on the screen want to answer that as well?

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Good morning, everybody. Thank you very much for joining us. I just wanted a general assessment, really, of what you've made of the health of the creative workforce in Wales at the moment. Shall I start with Richard, in the room?

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with Trade unions and employee representatives
Does anybody else have anything to add just on the difference, perhaps, in the sub-sectors within the creative industries?

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with Trade unions and employee representatives
I think you've touched on a couple of things we'll come back to. You could come in, which would probably cover this point. Would you say the sector is in the same place opportunities-wise—putting aside the after-effects of the pandemic, Brexit and the cost of…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with Trade unions and employee representatives
When you say 'where we are now', presumably you're saying, 'We're still dealing with the after-effects of what has happened'. Because I don't want to look back; obviously, we want to look forward. I'm conscious of where we are.
