So, it's the same organisation that did the work for us. So, it would be interesting to see if that figure for Wales has changed in five years. So, we'll know later in the year, and we'll obviously share that with you.

And I think the Football Association of Wales have also undertaken—. I haven't seen what their report has come up with, but I think they had very similar findings, the FAW. They undertook a report on the social value of football in Wales. If it would be…

Thanks, Carolyn, for that. We did commission a report from Sheffield Hallam University. That was back in 2018. And, actually, Sport Wales have re-commissioned them now to do a further report, which is going to cover exactly the areas that you've just talked…

One thing I would also say, Chair, is that one of the things—we did give evidence on this in the culture committee as well—that we were going to be developing, or delivering, was a sports summit, which we did at the end of last year. We had over 200…

Well, I think we did explain, in rejecting that recommendation, that was explained to the committee at the time, and it was because we have the sport strategy that I've just set out and that Neil's just expanded on, and we didn't want to waste time and…

So, if we start with Sport Wales, which is my responsibility, and we start with their Vision for Sport in Wales, which they published in 2018, that was a strategy for the whole sector of Wales, and that provides a platform for cross-sector engagement. That's…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Well, again, I have to say, strictly speaking, public leisure services are not in my portfolio; they're the responsibility of the Minister for Finance and Local Government. But they're obviously integral to the delivery of sport, and many local sports clubs…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Yes. What I would say is that libraries are integral to the considerations for the new culture strategy. It will include how the library standards work. So, we've consulted with representatives of the libraries sector, and we're including them in the next…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Yes, that would be my understanding and my expectation. What we saw was a growth of digital provision through COVID, and I think we saw the benefits of that. It adds a whole new dimension to libraries. We would very much want to see that developed and made…

Yes. So, officials began working on the seventh framework over the summer, and that will include a thorough review of the requirements of the existing framework, which I touched on earlier, because that's what we're still working to at the moment, and they're…

Well, Unison is my union, of course, and so I listen very carefully to what Unison says, and, having been an official with that organisation for many years, I perhaps should declare an interest as well. But, no, I agree with the basic premise of what they're…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
I think my response to that would be very similar to the response to libraries. Although we have a statutory framework for libraries, tightening that statutory framework I don't think would be helpful. And it's certainly my view that legislating for the…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Well, perhaps what I should say at this point is, it's the Minister for Finance and Local Government who has the lead portfolio in this area. So, I guess that is a question that would need to be put to her in terms of whether there's been consideration around…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
And I think, then, to kind of follow up on the other point of your question, which is about whether legislation would help to tie that down, I think I go back to my first answer, and would say that I think that the process of having a flexible approach to…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
No, I wouldn’t say that, because I think we’re clear within the Welsh public library standards what we expect of a minimum library service, but you’re quite right to point out that no Welsh Ministers have used statutory powers to intervene. That’s not to say…

Gwasanaethau Llyfrgell a Hamdden Awdurdodau Lleol - Tystiolaeth gan Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth
Well, the fact that you’re asking this question, I’m assuming that you know what’s in the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964, because that requires authorities to provide—what is in the legislation is a 'comprehensive and efficient' service. So, the Act…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Twristiaeth
Yn sicr, dyna'r cyfeiriad teithio rydym yn edrych arno, ac mae Gweinidogion â'u bryd ar edrych ar neilltuo'r ardoll ymwelwyr at y dibenion hynny. Ac fe ddywedaf pam—oherwydd mae'n hysbys fod yna gostau cyhoeddus yn gysylltiedig â thwristiaeth. Nid yw cael…

Wel, a gaf fi ddiolch i Peter Fox am y cwestiwn atodol hwnnw? Ac eto, fel y dywedais yn fy ateb i Altaf, nid wyf yn rhannu eich safbwynt ynghylch yr effaith y byddai ardoll ymwelwyr yn ei chael ar dwristiaeth. Roedd yna ymgynghoriad sylweddol ar yr ardoll…

Diolch i Peter Fox am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Mae Croeso Cymru wedi buddsoddi mewn asedau rhanbarthol, fel abaty Tyndyrn, ac mae'r rhanbarth yn elwa o'n marchnata drwy gydol y flwyddyn, sy'n amlygu cynnig unigryw a safonol sir Fynwy i ymwelwyr.
