One-day inquiry on Welsh Language: Welsh medium education
Thank you very much, and good morning to you wall. Clearly, you've touched on post-16 provision, and I think we could have a three-hour session just on that issue—I hope it's something we can return to in the future—but I wanted to ask if you could perhaps…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I've raised this issue a number of times now, but, as the issue has not been resolved, I still have constituents contacting me about the difficulty of getting a COVID pass if they can't be vaccinated for medical reasons. The medical reason often…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Diolch, Gwnsler Cyffredinol. I would like to declare that I am a councillor on RCT council. As you will be aware, RCT council has published to date four section 19 reports into the flooding that occurred across the country borough as a result of storm Dennis…

Papers to note
Yes, just on paper 4.3 by the Welsh Rugby Union—just to note in their response that they weren't very happy with the questioning in terms of Amazon Prime. I do think that it would be worth us emphasising that we are going further than some of the questions…

But I agree with Alun, and your proposal, Chair, that we should be taking action now, not waiting for a response. I disagree with Tom on that.

It was one of the others.

Papers to note
Yes, I would support Alun with that proposal. Certainly, I think the message that we received very clearly in terms of the cultural recovery fund and the need for a third tranche of that, and I think the Deputy Minister's response—. I think that we would like…

The only other question that I wanted to ask was on the opportunities the length and breadth of Wales. I'm aware of the scheme that Sara has been part of in terms of Cardiff specifically. But, with regard to the opportunities across Wales, are there any…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Thank you very much, and thank you for those very clear messages for us as a committee. You'll be aware that the Welsh Government and the Deputy Minister have committed to a new culture strategy during the term of this Senedd. So, what would you like to see…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
No. That's helpful, thank you. I said it would be a brief 'yes' or 'no' there. If I may, you've emphasised to us, as did the previous panel, in terms of skills and the challenges both pre COVID as well as being exacerbated by COVID, with people leaving the…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Diolch yn fawr iawn, a diolch ichi i gyd. I just wanted to start by picking up on Pauline's point about the cultural recovery fund and perhaps just a quick question to start off with in terms of whether all the panel agrees that there should be a third…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Yes. If I could just ask about participation and engagement, clearly we've received some information in terms of diversity and ensuring greater access to settings. But I would like to ask a question on participation and engagement in our most rural areas, and…

Thank you. I don't know if Louise wanted to pick up on some of the points that I raised, and perhaps some of the other contributors today, in terms of whether further support is required from Welsh Government or what would you like to see happen to provide…

Are you able to share with us what kind of figures we're looking at? What is the amount that you're seeking from Welsh Government?

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I just wanted to pick up with Louise's point, actually; you've sent us a very clear message, actually, in terms of that things are not back to normal, and also about the challenges to the sector. I'd be interested to know from you and…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Yes, I just want to pick up on the word Diane used in terms of 'can't', because 'can't' can mean that you're restricted by Government policy, for instance with Welsh language, or is this a matter that, actually, it's a matter that you've decided you don't…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
As Diane has already mentioned the reports on expanding engagement, I would like to know whether there is any update in terms of the next steps from the arts council and Amgueddfa Cymru, the national museum. Last time you were here we noted that the three…

Trefnydd, over the past fortnight, I have raised twice with the Minister for health the concerns of those with autism and their families regarding the COVID pass. Even though the COVID guidelines were updated last week to state that locations should be…

Just to endorse that, I would find it very beneficial to know what the Minister and Deputy Minister are doing, for example, with the remit letters of the organisations that have been before us today in terms of the role of the Deputy Minister and the…

Papers to note
If I could just note on item 5.1, we'll have an opportunity to discuss this further. I was disappointed with the response in terms of 5.2 and I think it would be beneficial for us to have, in that private session, a reflection on what we'd like to ask about…

Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to go back to widening engagement. I think we went after specifically one element, but, clearly, there were three comprehensive reports and a number of specific issues in terms of recommendations for both organisations, and I…

If I may, they were more than views; there were demands, specifically, within those, and you've referenced the word 'demand', and I wondered what the tension is now between the fact that you've commissioned these and they are actual demands, rather than…
