Inquiry into sport in disadvantaged areas: Evidence session with Welsh Sport Association
It sounds like what's been said previously there, in that transport and accessibility is something, isn't it—you're repeating that as an issue.

It was about increasing provision. I know you said there are waiting lists; I'm aware there are waiting lists as well, so it's a concern, really. So, increasing provision, how can we do that?

Inquiry into participation in sport in disadvantaged areas: Evidence session with sporting unions (2)
Yes. Just to declare that Phil and I met when the final was played in Wrexham, so that was the first time we met, which was great. I learnt so much, and my son plays basketball, so that's how I got involved as well. So, I am concerned about the waiting lists…

It's used sometimes for community transport, but if it could be used for access to swimming, that might help sustain it, going forward.

The free swimming initiative, do you believe that that is actually keeping swimming pools viable and open as well? That's what I heard from one that was taken over by a local community. So, that's important for the viability going forward. And also, regarding…

Inquiry into participation in sport in disadvantaged areas: Evidence session with sporting unions (2)
I was interested what you think, because we're looking at transport going forward, so bringing in leisure centres as part of the hubs, as well as stations, is not something I've thought about, so that's really interesting. Accessibility, for many, is through…

And it wasn't just sports funding, though, was it? It was the community facilities and activities programme funding, and it was education funding as well.

It was just regarding grass-roots accessibility. I visited Rhyl Rugby Club and they've moved from a semi-rural area into the middle of an urban area, and I know that participants have doubled, haven't they, over the last few years. But it's a community…

First Minister, I understand broadband is not a devolved issue and that, sadly, north Wales has not received any of the £5 billion the UK Government has set aside for broadband infrastructure funding. It could be another two years, I'm led to believe…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
Actually, I don't. It was the banking crisis at the time and the way that the finances had been handled across the world, and that's how it was dealt with. Austerity went on for far too long. We're not discussing austerity at the moment, but I did want to…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you for that answer, Minister. Brexit has left the UK lacking when it comes to legislation to protect animal welfare, and action must be taken as a matter of urgency. RSPCA research has shown that approximately 73 per cent of its inspectors believe that…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report: 'Minding the future: The childcare barrier facing working parents'
I will, thank you. It's brilliant that Welsh Government want to fund two-year-olds to attend higher quality childcare settings, but I agree with the report findings that it will only be effective if the settings can stay open and that the funding is adequate…
