Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 1
So, it's not different for mines. It would be like most planning, and then it would be held, probably, in a 106, I guess. Liability now. It sounds like liability is a huge issue if they become insolvent, and what can you do about that going forward. In 2016…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 1
Would they have been gathered under section 106 agreements when planning was consented? Is that how they're gathered and, then, just held in that way?

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 1
Diolch. I'm asking about funds for site restoration. What’s the purpose of funds held in escrow accounts linked to opencast sites? Are these funds for restoration, or to make the site safe in cases of operator abandonment or insolvency? I believe the paper…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport: Priorities for Transport: Listening, partnership, making change
I welcome the statement, Cabinet Secretary. Partnership working will be really important for councils in north Wales, as they have a lot of arterial routes with high-density residential areas along those arterial routes. I welcome that the A494 Dee crossing…

First Minister, we have heard a lot about problems in accessing dentistry, especially in north Wales, from professional bodies and also constituents, following the pandemic. I understand that there are some promising pilot projects to bring mobile dentistry…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Transport
We need to prioritise investing in maintaining our existing highway infrastructure. It's rapidly deteriorating through ever-dwindling budgets over the last 14 years, further exacerbated by increasing floods. They are in a dire condition. The strategic road…

Debate on the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee Report, 'Nuclear energy and the Welsh economy'
The committee took oral and written evidence from pro-nuclear organisations and individuals, but none from anti-nuclear or a sceptical view to give a balance. I hear what the Chair said earlier, but I want to do that now. There were no comparisons to…

Debate on the General Principles of the Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill
In principle, this Bill is a lovely idea. We know that the environment a child learns in is crucial at any age. If a child does not connect with nature by the age of 12, they will not do so as an adult. And so, to build a lifelong positive relationship with…

One day inquiry into the development of post-16 Welsh language provision: evidence session with National Centre for Learning Welsh
Can I ask you a question on reaching that age, 16 to 25, through a sense of belonging through culture, and through sport as well, so with the rise of Wrexham, singing 'Yma o Hyd', Dafydd Iwan, the national anthem, 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau', and that feeling of…

One day inquiry into the development of post-16 Welsh language provision: evidence session with National Centre for Learning Welsh
I was too busy listening. I lost track. Could I just seek clarity on the number and percentage of young people who enrolled on a learn Welsh course as a result of the free 16-25 course, and what impact will the recent budget decision have on that, again?

Thank you. I'd just like to ask to what extent witnesses recognise the Welsh Language Commissioner's suggestion that attempts to extend Welsh-medium and bilingual provision in the post-compulsory sector have been an uphill battle over the past decade, and…

I'd just like to ask: what's the measure of a Welsh speaker? What would you define as a Welsh speaker? Is that someone you think would be comfortable speaking Welsh, or do you think a bit of Wenglish is fine as well?

Thank you for the answer, Minister. And I'd also like to echo my sympathy to Tassia Haines's family as well at this very sad time. So, I've been contacted by a group of patients treated at Wrexham Maelor. As you said, they are concerned about the provision of…
