Accounts scrutiny: Amgueddfa Cymru-Museum Wales
You said that the Welsh Government was aware of the grievance or the concerns emanating from the former director general. Who was leading on this issue within the Welsh Government? Did it go all the way to the Perm Sec? Or could you just give us an idea of…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
When any company is nationalised, the legal question of the appropriate level of compensation for the owners is raised. There are plenty of precedents from the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the European Court of Human Rights that have decided that…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
In last week's debate on water quality, more than one Member of more than one party had made the case for taking Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water back into public ownership. The First Minister himself, back in May, had said that he would welcome it if the Senedd were to…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
I'm grateful to the Minister. It was an inspiration to be in Melita recently, and to see during EuroPride the huge progress that has been made there. It was a traditionally conservative society. There'd been no progress in terms of LGBTQ+ rights for 40 years…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Conflict in Israel and Gaza
If the world does not succeed in facilitating a ceasefire over the next few days or weeks, then there are three likely outcomes, one inevitable and two probable. The inevitable outcome is further civilian deaths, probably in the many thousands, because there…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Water quality
I've always been a champion of the Glas Cymru model of not-for-profit ownership for Welsh Water. It was a Welsh institutional innovation, which even became a Harvard Business School case study at one point. In theory, having this hybrid of a private company…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
As you will be aware, Minister, the Fflecsi Bwcabus situation has been raised in this Siambr by several Members—by Cefin Campbell most recently—and the response that we've received from the Deputy Minister to date is that he acknowledges how important the…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill
Without revealing the exact content of any legal advice you've received, what is your understanding of the justiciability of that 'due regard' phrase?

Will the Minister give way?

Legislative Consent Motion on the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill
Yes, but the point is that this Bill and the legislative consent memorandum that has come before us now, they run roughshod, they undermine our democracy here, and they actually undermine our ability to drive up economic opportunity for all of our people. And…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill
To follow Alun Davies, it certainly is true, if you look at evidence around the world, at states that have successfully lowered the economic gap between the different parts of their state, then actually redistribution of economic opportunity, wealth, goes…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
I understand the inter-governmental and the dispute resolution means of resolving this. What I'm not clear on—and I have to say I'm no clearer on—is what those potential legal avenues that you referred to could be. With HS2, of course, last week we saw not…

Group 5: Operation of regulations under section 10A(1) (Amendments 14, 16, 19, 23, 25)
I'm grateful to the Minister, and I'm following her comments very closely. These amendments are virtually identical with the amendments that were presented by the Labour frontbench on this Bill in Westminster. Can you just explain to us why is it that Labour…

Yes, just to move on very quickly, then, to the next questions, which relate to numbers of jobs, and perhaps, Chair, if it helps you, maybe some of these questions could be provided in written form. Just generally, there's a figure of 311 jobs that has been…

Naturally, because of the nature of our function, we're going to be focusing very frequently on losses and failures. But it's important also for us to learn from successes, and the Simbec investment was successful. Are there any notable lessons that you feel…

In the context of the last point, was it a mistake do you think to have such a high percentage of the fund invested in three companies only?

And accepting that that work hasn't yet been undertaken, how would you summarise your assessment of the value for money overall of this fund on the basis of what you know now?
