Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
I agree with all of that, and I appreciate what you've said. I think it's important; I've always felt that S4C should be funded through the licence fee and not directly by the Westminster Government. I think that is an important issue, and so I agree with…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
But content, of course, is more and more expensive. I've been enjoying watching S4C during the Rugby World Cup—it helps that Wales is winning, of course—but it's also true that what I see in S4C's programmes, of course, is that they reflect our culture and…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
I think S4C's performance is very good, as it happens. I asked a different question, because we have seen that S4C's budget has reduced recently, in real terms, and with the inflation level—and we've seen exceptional inflation over the last few years…

Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Update on Taith—The International Learning Exchange Programme for Wales
Erasmus, of course, is a Welsh invention of that great Welsh European, Hywel Ceri Jones, and I think we should always pay tribute to the work he did in driving that forward. In Brussels a few weeks ago, Erasmus was described to us as a living bridge, and I…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on the Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle (Wales) Bill
I'm grateful, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to continue with that theme, and hopefully prompt the Minister to think a little more on these matters. There are two issues I would like to raise with the Minister on this statement, which I very much welcome…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill
I very much welcome your statement, Counsel General, although I have to say to you that, every time you mention electoral reform, you get me over-excited that the Government is going to deliver on the Labour Party policy of the single transferrable vote and…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Deputy Minister for Climate Change
You've very kind. Thank you, Laura. I think you're being very generous with your recollection there, because my memory of you is holding up a sign saying ’20’s plenty in Usk’, where your children live. Why isn't it good enough for where my children live?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Deputy Minister for Climate Change
If this is so important to you, and this is the thing that is grabbing the attention of the people of Wales, why have you only allocated 30 minutes to it? That's an insult. It's a stunt; it's not taking it seriously.

Debate on petition P-06-1332 'Fund vaccine research to protect red squirrels from deadly Squirrelpox virus'
I've thoroughly enjoyed the debate this afternoon on the red squirrel. It demonstrates, actually, how these things can bring people together. I very much accept the point that the Chair of the committee is making, but would it be possible for the Petitions…

But, as you say, it's not without precedent either. So, perhaps we do need to consider how we approach it.
