Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Okay. Would you welcome that, or would you find that cumbersome as well?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
But you're not aware of any intention to do that imminently.
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Okay. I'm just looking at the 2003 statement from the Welsh Government and they said they would move from a tailored review to a self-assessment model, so perhaps we can get some clarity from the Minister later on that.

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Can I just ask, are you expecting to be asked to do a self-assessment?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
And you will be undertaking a self-assessment model, a risk assessment, as an alternative, which seems to be more internal and less rigorous than a tailored review. Is that in addition to those things that you've just mentioned?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
You weren't given any reasons as to why there wouldn't be a tailored review.
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Diolch. Excuse me, I seem to have developed a cold this morning. Could I ask about the process of the tailored review? The Welsh Government said in 2001 that they would want to see a full-scale tailored review, but that seemed to change in 2003. So, what are…

Okay. That's appreciated, thank you.
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
So, it would be inconceivable for a Minister to have that kind of influence?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Can you confirm, Giles, just for the avoidance of doubt, that the Development Bank of Wales has absolute independence of Welsh Ministers, and that Ministers don't have any influence over individual loan decisions?

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport: Priorities for Transport: Listening, partnership, making change
I can think of three reasons why this policy needs amending. First of all, there is a road in my constituency that is 20 mph, and almost everyone agrees it should be 30 mph. There are barely any houses on it, and people are just ignoring the speed limit…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Can I ask whether the witness could expand on the pilot scheme and say more about the pilot scheme for 16 to 18-year-olds in partnership with Say Something in Welsh, and how it could be further developed?

Thank you, Chair. May I ask Ioan about the relationship between the coleg Cymraeg and CTER and how exactly it will use its influence to support the Welsh language? And what informal discussions have there been with Julie Lydon and Simon Pirotte?
