Ministerial scrutiny session: Minister for Economy and Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport and Chief Whip
I agree, and I'm glad to hear you're measuring it. That means that you will have measurable objectives as well, I presume.

Ministerial scrutiny session: Minister for Economy and Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport and Chief Whip
The reason I asked the question was because I remember Alun Pugh saying almost exactly the same thing 15 years ago, and I'm not entirely encouraged that there's been much progress in that time, if I'm quite honest. I'm just interested in your assessment as to…

Ministerial scrutiny session: Minister for Economy and Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport and Chief Whip
The programme for government, as we've already described, does not contain any objectives, of course. It contains a few ambitions, but it doesn't contain any measurable objectives at all, not only in your portfolios, but in any portfolio. So, I think they…

Ministerial scrutiny session: Minister for Economy and Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport and Chief Whip
Thank you. In terms of where we are at the moment, the work of the Government seems to be driven by two documents: it's the programme for government, which we've begun to discuss, but it's also the cultural recovery following COVID. I wonder if the Ministers…

Thank you very much, and thank you for that very full answer, Dawn. You said two things: you said first of all you're already implementing the programme for government, and then you said that you were developing the programme for government. Now, those are…

Papers to note
I'm content to note it, Chair, but I must say that I express a level of extreme frustration with the decision of the Business Committee to reduce the amount of time available for scrutiny in this Senedd. I think it's a very, very poor way of operating and I…

Debate: Priorities for 2022-23 Budget Preparations
I'd like to start by saying a word of thanks to the Government for undertaking this debate in the absence of the Finance Committee during this period. I think that it is an important thing that the Senedd does have an opportunity to discuss the budget before…

I’d like to welcome the new Minister to post and I’d also like to thank him for the opportunity to have this debate an early stage in this new Senedd. I welcome the tone that the Minister has adopted in his initial remarks. There are a few things that I would…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Convention on our Constitutional Future
Before coming to a question, with your permission, Llywydd, I would like to say a few words about Elystan Morgan. We lost Elystan during last week, and, of course, he was a giant of the Labour Party and the Labour movement, but also of Welsh politics. One…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
We've heard already this afternoon of the tremendous pain and suffering of people across the whole country who are waiting for services, following the pandemic or as the pandemic dominates the national health service. Is it not time now, Minister, that we…

Welsh Government First Supplementary Budget 2021-22: Evidence session
It's a fascinating reply, Minister. I think, Chair, this is something we as a committee will need to return to, because it seems to me that we're nationalising a large part of social care without nationalising the whole of social care, if you see what I mean…

Welsh Government First Supplementary Budget 2021-22: Evidence session
