Yes, we already have a range of infrastructure projects that are part of the infrastructure investment plan that we have, where you would need more steel to deliver those. Our challenge will be—. And you might be aware there's likely to be a reset and renewal…

So, there are two points I'd make. The first is that the floating offshore wind pipeline is significant here. Understanding the first signal for the Celtic sea—about 4.5 GW—is important, but, actually, to unlock the significant investment we'd want, we need…

So, the First Minister and I will meet the chief exec of Tata global in Wales again next week—and you'll know that Eluned Morgan raised our view, our consistent view, directly with Tata when she was in Mumbai for the recent engagement around Wales in India…

The headline that the pathway is clearer in some than others is not a surprise. In transport, we talk about having zero emissions from the tailpipe. So, that's easier to understand. There's a challenge there about the net zero mandate changes made by the UK…

The challenge is for all of our partners: for businesses themselves, trade unions and workers, education and training providers and, indeed, for Governments and the wider public. We talked a bit more about the wider public understanding, or not getting drawn…

I did warn against using anecdotes to try to set policy, but I think they can be useful in highlighting one of those things, and plumbing is a good example. I met people at a European skills homecoming where, in a range of those, one of the winners was a…

I'll see if Jo wants to tell you some of the early insights, but in terms of publication, I'm expecting to publish the outcome of the consultation at the end of March in terms of the summary of the responses and what we've got from that. That's a standard…

On gender, there's a recognition from a range of employers and providers about what they need to do to make sure that there is a greater take-up of apprenticeships in a range of areas. We talked earlier about areas of tech as well as engineering, the broader…

I'll pass you on to Jo to talk about how we monitor, but the ambition in the statement, I think, is important. Regardless of the resource that we have, and it should surprise no-one that we would like to be able to put more resources into apprenticeships…

Well, I can never give you a cast-iron guarantee about the future, but it's our ambition to be able to do that. But within this Senedd term, we think we'll get to a 10 per cent increase. I'd like us to do more, but a 10 per cent increase compared with the…

The undeniable truth is though that the ending of European run-off means that there is a real reduction in terms of what our providers will have to use, and that's undeniable. I think I've been entirely upfront about that. In fact, previously, we've been…

I think, in October, we recognised that we were going to move money that was unlikely to be used in year. So, that was part of the in-year challenge that we had, rather than deliberately cutting the budget. We have got real challenges now, and I recognise…

I didn't realise this was going to be a valedictory session. I think one of the things that we have done, when you think about the last couple of years, is manage all of the incredible change that's taken place. If we go back to May 2021, when we were coming…

Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod bod y £5.25 miliwn dim ond yn bosibl ers i ni gyhoeddi'r gyllideb ddrafft, ac rwy'n falch iawn ein bod yn gallu adfer yr arian hwnnw, ond mae her gyffredinol, oherwydd y dibyn mewn cronfeydd Ewropeaidd. Nid wyf erioed…

Diolch am y ddau bwynt mawr. I ddechrau, mae'n fater o ffaith, nid barn, bod yr ardoll brentisiaethau yn dreth y DU ar brentisiaethau; mae'n tynnu arian allan o wasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru, lle nad yw'r arian yn gallu mynd yn ôl ac mae'n bwriadu…

Pan edrychwch ar gyllid cymharol, mewn gwirionedd, rydym yn dal i wneud yn llawer gwell na Lloegr dros y ffin. Rwy'n ddryslyd ynghylch sut y gall yr Aelod feddwl bod du yn wyn ar y mater hwn. Y gwir yw nad yw cymryd arian allan yn yr ardoll brentisiaethau a'i…
