Thank you very much. In terms of that WLGA conference and the commissioner from Birmingham, I did want to come on, really, and just ask you all whether you think that any local authorities in Wales might be at risk of bankruptcy, as it's termed, via a section…

Dadl Plaid Cymru: Prentisiaethau
Credaf fod gan Lywodraeth Cymru hanes cryf o ddatblygu rhaglenni prentisiaeth yma yng Nghymru, ac mae'n destun cryn bryder ein bod bellach mewn sefyllfa lle bydd rhywfaint o'r cynnydd hwnnw'n cael ei wanhau. Ac fel y dywedodd Huw Irranca-Davies a Jack…

And for the very early years, and the workforce in the private nurseries, and so on, would there be perhaps more opportunities for them to advance?
17 Ionawr 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
I'm just wondering, Minister, whether we need to join up a bit more in terms of the early years workforce—the private nurseries, the teaching assistants, teachers, the school team—and whether we need to see that as more of a whole rather than as distinct…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Is there anything that might be done, do you think, Minister, to deal with those issues of economies of scale with the primary schools and the fact that they are smaller projects, in the way that we group different schools together and get local authorities…
17 Ionawr 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Okay, Minister. Could I also ask you about the different sectors—the schools, primary and secondary, further education, Welsh-medium? When we look at this picture of higher construction costs and greatly pressured capital funding budgets, and we look at that…

Are we, though, likely to see projects that were programmed over a period of time taking longer to be delivered? Is that inevitable now?
17 Ionawr 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
No. So, from what you say then, Minister, when we look forward, with budgets flat or perhaps even going down in cash terms, it will inevitably then, I guess, be a matter of delivering less with the same money, or delivering less with less money.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Okay. The sustainable communities for learning programme, there have been previous increases in that budget, but then we've had, unfortunately, fairly rapidly rising inflation in recent times, haven't we? How would you say those two things have played out?…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Yes, some questions on capital funding. Firstly, on the Finance Minister's announcement in October, which took £40 million from your capital budget for the current financial year, which I think equated to around 11 per cent of the budget, could you tell the…
