Questions to the First Minister
Well, thank you very much for that. The 'Cymraeg 2050' strategy does refer to increasing the proportion of each school year group receiving Welsh-medium education from 22 per cent by 2031. There are counties in the south-east where there isn't a single…

Annual scrutiny of Natural Resources Wales
Thank you. More generally, is there anything further that you'd like to add in terms of your views on the recent draft budget proposals? I'm thinking particularly about the tension that there has been in the past between—. I know that in the last Senedd, the…

Annual scrutiny of Natural Resources Wales
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Moving towards more general budgetary considerations, then, you told our predecessor committee that, from the end of 2020-21, you wouldn't be able to carry money over from one year to the next. Clare, I think that you said that this would…

This isn't something that would be directly in your budget, Ministers, but flooding is one of the these issues where there will be less tangible impacts as well. What work happens cross-departmentally to ensure—to work together in terms of, if there is a…

Yes, there was a logical flaw in the question that I asked. [Laughter.] Chair, I did want to ask one further thing, but I'm aware of time, so I'm happy for us to move on.

Diolch, Gadeirydd. What proportion of spend on flooding would you say is likely to be on fixing what goes wrong, and what proportion do you think will be on preventative spend?

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I have a great deal of sympathy with the Welsh Government on this point. I appreciate that, as you've been outlining, the question over who is going to fund that longer term work is going to be outstanding. Evidently, work needs to be under…

Thank you for that. Firstly, in terms of that forum, is that principally looking at it from a global perspective or from a domestic perspective, or is it a mix? And also, in terms of particularly what Lee was talking about—sorry, the Deputy Minister was…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The cost of living
A crisis is usually immediate. It's a time of intense difficulty, sometimes danger. But when we think of crises, we tend to associate them with suddenness, of something unforeseen, unplanned for, inescapable. This crisis, though, this coalescence of attacks…

Debate on petition P-06-1243 Reinstate cervical screening to every three years
As we mark Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, I'd like to make a general point at the outset, and that is that girls don't always get taught enough about their bodies—neither do boys, of course. A mix of embarrassment, a lack of understanding, even body…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
One crucial factor in ensuring hospitals can provide care is the level of staff absences. You've said, Minister, that there were around 10,000 staff absences in the Welsh NHS last week, and 98 per cent of British Medical Association Cymru members said they're…
