Darlledu Gwasanaeth Cyhoeddus yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ofcom (2)
Yes, a very quick question because we've run out of time. Regarding the expert panel's report on a shadow broadcasting authority, is there any point in a shadow broadcasting authority, given all the trends we've identified today? Isn't a shadow broadcasting…

Thank you, Chair, yes. I'll try and put it as succinctly as I can. I remember HTV Wales renewed their licence back in the 1990s, and they were talking about, 'Thanks for the future'; they were overjoyed. Thames Television was devastated to lose. The…

Mae'r gwasanaeth rheilffyrdd yn fy etholaeth i wedi cael ei drawsnewid ers i mi gael fy ethol gyntaf yn 2016, ac mae'n cael ei wella'n aruthrol, gyda'r trenau newydd yn gwasanaethu a thrydaneiddio ar y gweill. Mae un gwasanaeth yr hoffem ei weld yn cael ei…

Well, I certainly wasn't questioning your motives in any way, just to be clear about that.

And what happens in private conversations, before you have collective responsibility publicly, is those conversations must happen, and I wonder how helpful it is to have those two different messages out there.
28 Medi 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru
Absolutely, but you must have cross-Government dialogue—

Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru
[Inaudible.]—do that. [Laughter.]

Well, alternatively, you go back to the Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade and tell them that their view is unrealistic, given the practical position you're finding yourself in. I'm really trying to help you here. [Laughter.]

Okay. I guess, just to finish, Cadeirydd, I think all I'm really looking for is the same questions I asked Welsh Government: to what extent is the strategy being co-ordinated across Government departments, with one Minister saying that the UK retaining virgin…

Nusrat Ghani's argument was about the consequences of importing, whereas what I understood it to be was that introducing the electric arc furnace means that making particular steel products would not be possible, so you'd end up importing—
28 Medi 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru
Yes. I'm just trying to understand the process rather than trying to change anything. Obviously, I totally take your point on that. Obviously, I've got no insight into how Government Ministers in the UK Government interact with each other, but we know the…

'Direct reduced iron' is what the trade unions said to the climate change committee.
28 Medi 2023 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Dyfodol Dur yng Nghymru
Diolch, Cadeirydd. The climate change committee heard from the unions, and their view is that there were other options available based on electric arc steel making, supplemented with production using direct reduced iron. Can you help us understand whether…

Yes, just on the mention by David Davies of the scrap steel argument. This will inevitably push up demand for scrap steel. First of all, how confident are you that there is enough scrap steel to achieve these objectives, and will it not have a knock-on effect…

There is a pretty good website linked on Business Wales, but obviously it's not necessarily user-friendly for front-end users, for those who would be interested in using them. Did Dr Walters want to come in with anything there?

I wonder if the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research could offer an opinion on that as well, but, obviously, they're not responsible for schools. But I think we need to discuss this as committee and see if we can make some recommendations in that…

So, neither of you would object if we put SLAs, for example, as a recommendation to Government, as a committee. Okay—

Pwysau costau byw a’r Warant i Bobl Ifanc - Panel 2
Yes, it is, but it's also in places where there isn't tertiary. NPTC is the example in my report I've prepared for the Government. There's an example of a school that has a sixth form that is working with colleges. So, it can happen, and I think the value…

I'll come to employment bureaus in a second. Can I just ask you that question? You have got access to a whole range of employers, schools haven't. We've found that NPTC Group of Colleges are working really well with Llanidloes High School in producing a…
