That would be fantastic, thank you.

National contemporary art gallery: Ministerial evidence session
Thank you for that. Could I ask, once the project is completed, how much new art exhibition space will Wales have? I know that there are lots of different concepts at play here, but, in square feet, how much extra space do you think there will be for it?

Thank you. Ian.

Thank you for that, Minister. Could I ask, has the Welsh Government received any proposals for a gallery of Welsh art, and how those proposals, if you've received any, have been assessed?

Thank you, Ian. Alun already has a supplementary that he'd like to ask.

National contemporary art gallery: Ministerial evidence session
It's lovely to have you with us. Thank you so much. If it's okay we'll go straight into questions, and can I ask you first: with the proposals as they stand at the moment, how is the word 'contemporary', or the concept of contemporary, defined, would you say?

National contemporary art gallery: Ministerial evidence session
Good morning and welcome back. We move on to item 6, which is the national contemporary art gallery inquiry. We have a ministerial evidence session now, and I'll ask the Minister to introduce herself for the record, and also the other witnesses.

Papers to note
We have a number of papers that have been received over the summer, from item 2.1 in our paper pack to item 2.14. There may be some papers of particular interest to the committee. Item 2.16 is a letter from Cymdeithas yr Iaith about the location of specialist…

Introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest
Good morning and welcome back. This is the first meeting after the summer recess of the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport and International Relations Committee. May I ask whether any Members have declarations of interest to make before we look at…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
But I’m confident that the majority of people would be in favour of making our roads safer. People will be in favour of saving lives, not only by reducing accidents, but also, as I’ve said, by improving the quality of the air that we breathe. We need to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I think we could all do with slowing down. I fear all nuance has been lost in this debate. I think that's a cause for real shame. I move the Plaid Cymru amendment. Air pollution kills. That's a point that has been made by Members of…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Diolch, Counsel General. Can I thank you for all the work that you have undertaken in this area? And I join you in paying tribute to the brave campaigners, who have not given up in spite of the fact that, as you've alluded to, so many women have died before…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I declare an interest because my mother is one of the Women Against State Pension Inequality about whom I'm about to ask a question. Can I thank the Counsel General for the meeting he held with me over the summer alongside Welsh…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you for that response. There's clearly something wrong with our planning system that has allowed the company operating Ffos-y-frân to keep extracting coal for a year, and counting, after it was told to stop. Now, during that period, the local council…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
1. What legal advice did the Counsel General provide to the Welsh Government regarding the Ffos-y-frân opencast mine in Merthyr Tydfil when it continued to operate after its mining licence expired in September 2022? OQ59886

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with local planning authorities
Thank you, Steve. I don't see anyone else's hand up, so, Chair, I'm happy—oh, I've got Peter.

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with local planning authorities
Thank you both for that. Secondly, the Bill allows for Ministers to make quite significant changes using secondary legislation. Does that make it harder, do you think, for people to engage in the process and to understand the process? In the previous evidence…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with local planning authorities
Forgive me, Steve. I was asking about community involvement and whether you think that the Bill gets the balance correct in terms of whether community groups could be disenfranchised because of this Bill—whether you agree with that. If you do agree, how do…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with local planning authorities
Thank you and good morning. I wanted to ask about how community groups can engage with these large projects, and whether you think that this Bill is striking the right balance. Many people have given us evidence to say that this will present a risk to how…
