Minister, can I ask you about the national contemporary art gallery, going forward? So, given the budget constraints, do you think that this is something that you can still take forward, and is funding coming from within the existing portfolios?

I just want to ask you questions about support for local culture and sport. We did a report on access for disadvantaged communities to sport. Local government are a delivery body as well, and they've had decades and more of austerity as well, and inflationary…

Does what the Government can borrow—because there is a limit to how much Government can borrow—have an impact on this as well, do you think? If the Government was able to borrow more, because that's something that we keep asking for from the UK Government…

Could I just come back? I read in a report that the UK Government are looking at saying to local government, even, 'Look at your assets; perhaps market them, sell them off, mortgage them to get that income', which I think is a concern for me, because once…

Thank you. Just on that question, can they do prudential borrowing, the museums? Is that something—? I know they'd have to have revenue to back it up, but is that something they've looked at?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Healthcare inspection and funding
I will respond to that—I think it's more important to invest in the services, as Welsh Government is doing, by investing in the '111 press 2' service, which I will go on to mention now. [Interruption.] If I can just carry on. The Welsh Government has…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Healthcare inspection and funding
There is a health crisis right across the UK, not just in Wales. All evidence shows this has worsened over the last 14 years since the start of austerity and cuts to public services. The Welsh Government's budget in 2024-25 will be £3 billion lower than it…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A Bill on climate assurance for children and young people
I think this is why we shouldn't be just teaching towards PISA results, isn't it? We want more rounded children, with a more rounded outlook. I was once told that if children do not connect with the outdoors before the age of 12, they will not as an adult…

Debate: Levelling-up
If the UK Government really wanted to level up, it should properly fund public services and all those employed in them. They're one of the biggest employers in Wales. I'm pleased to see that the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee's report into post-EU…

Questions to the First Minister
We know there is variation across Wales in terms of the roads that have remained at 30 mph. The review is going to look at this issue, and we need to engage with our partners in local government and bus operators as part of that. We've seen that the regional…

Okay. Do you know what percentage of Adnodd's funding will be divided between resource and grant in aid, and will this be delivered in the Welsh in education BEL? And what impact do you think this will have on the Welsh in education budget for future years?
