Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Mick, can I just cut across? Some job adverts say, 'If you'd like to know more information about this post, contact X.' Do you find that individuals do take up that offer if they've got additional questions, or do they think that might count against them?

Fine. Lots of issues there, which we will explore a bit further. So, Mick Antoniw, would you like to come in at this point?

Other witnesses have said that it's also to do with how vibrant the economy is in a particular area. So, Cardiff versus, say, Blaenau Gwent—

Thank you very much for that introductory set of remarks. I wondered if you can shed some light on the fact that the disability employment gap is consistently higher in Wales than across the UK as a whole, and in some areas of Wales, like Neath Port Talbot…

I'm very pleased, in our first evidence session this afternoon, to welcome Daniel Biddle, who is an advocate of disabled people's rights. I'd very much like to warmly welcome you here, Daniel. What, in your experience, are the main barriers to work for…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Ffermydd sy'n eiddo i gynghorau
A wnewch chi dderbyn ymyriad? Hoffwn wybod, ar yr adeg pan oeddech chi'n gynghorydd, a gawsoch chi unrhyw drafodaeth am bwysigrwydd sicrhau y gallech ddiogelu'r llinellau cyflenwi yr oedd eu hangen arnoch i fwydo eich poblogaeth leol, a bod gan ffermydd sir…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Ffermydd sy'n eiddo i gynghorau
Rwy'n falch iawn o gymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon, ac rwy'n credu, gyda diogeledd bwyd mor uchel ar yr agenda yn y byd ansicr hwn, sy'n llawn o wrthdaro a thywydd cythryblus ac anrhagweladwy, mae angen inni ddilyn mantra 'rhag ofn' yr Athro Tim Lang, sy'n siarad…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, y Trefnydd a'r Prif Chwip
Wel, mae'n ddefnyddiol gwybod bod yna amrywiaeth o opsiynau. Mae Age Cymru yn dweud, eleni, na fydd bron i naw o bob 10 pensiynwr yng Nghymru sy'n byw mewn tlodi yn cael taliad tanwydd y gaeaf, ac nad yw rhai ohonynt yn ymwybodol eu bod yn gymwys i gael…

Okay. Earlier on, one of you—I can't remember who—said it's education that leads on the people that we're actually training up. Why is the industry so passive, and sort of saying, 'Oh, well, we'll take what you give us'? Why aren't we driving the education…

So, given the restraints on time, I wondered if, in this final contribution from any of you, if you could give us some good examples of good practice in public sector procurement, and/or good examples of fair work initiatives that aren't in your papers…

Surely only Welsh Government could come up with an overall land-use strategy taking climate change into account. There are numerous examples of why we need beavers in the uplands so that we don't have flooding in Bridgend, but if we don't have those…

I saw Gary wanting to come in, and I wanted to talk to Gary anyway. In your paper, you talk about how public bodies apply the rules and being, for example, risk averse in their interpretation of regulations on tree planting, and a lack of overall strategy on…

Presumably, they have pre-procurement discussions, don't they, saying, 'We are going to be letting this contract, and you may want to think about x'?

And how do we get local authorities to give people time to plan and collaborate, because, often, they're saying, 'We want you to start by the day after tomorrow'?

Yr Economi Sylfaenol: Panel 4 - Tai a datgarboneiddio
How realistic is that given that we're all reading about the financial and budgetary challenges that local authorities are facing? You mention in your paper about the cost-of-living crisis driving people away from best value in terms of local procurement and…

Okay, great example, but how much is it dependent on your geographical location in north-west Wales, as opposed to, say, south-east Wales, where we’ve got a construction industry that works across the border all the time?
