Diversity in Local Government - Evidence Session 1
That's really good. Because it was mentioned before about how some people become councillors but don't understand the role very well or understand what's going on. So, I suppose that helps them to grow and grow their talents as well on the pathway, if they…

Diversity in Local Government - Evidence Session 1
I remember that being introduced just before I left as a councillor and being really good, because, as you say, backbenchers have their own skills and talents that need to be brought forward, and you wouldn't know unless people have time to talk to them. And…

Diversity in Local Government - Evidence Session 1
Yes. As well. Which goes on to—it says here—whether data collection on candidates' and elected members' protected characteristics are sufficient at present, and what could or should be done to improve it. At a previous session, a member councillor said, as…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: The Infrastructure (Wales) Bill
I welcome the statement. The questions earlier highlighted how we need public sector funding to be able to deliver private sector as well, and I'm glad that they will be contributing to the planning process. I hope social value, maybe through energy for…

Questions to the First Minister
I welcome the progress, First Minister; that's really good to hear. One common concern is managing tourism so that it's sustainable, and I believe that the area of outstanding natural beauty already is very good at doing this. One initiative that they have is…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for the answer. I'm really concerned about the impacts on education transport, transport to health appointments, social isolation, economy, and jobs. The view is we need to cap fares and a campaign to get people back onto buses, using them…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Thank you. There was a suggestion that those in receipt of funding, one of the criteria would be to improve equality, diversity and inclusion, and you've said that is one of those targets that you can ask for if they receive funding, so I guess we need to…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Just some questions on equality, diversity and inclusion. We did hear, in one of the evidence sessions, that it was sometimes an afterthought and could be improved, so I'd just like to know how extensive is the data on equality, diversity and inclusion in the…

That would be really useful, thank you. I've got a note here. So, they found in Lincolnshire that, for every £1 of investment, it generated £5 in social value, which is really interesting, isn't it? It was work with Sheffield Hallam University. So, yes. So, I…
