Thank you, Chair. One of the things—. Sorry, if I can start with—. We've heard lots of evidence, heartbreaking evidence, and there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the answers we've just received and what we've been told by people from across Wales…

May I ask, therefore, why you think this isn't happening now? Because we've heard from so many different people that they just can't access that. And also, you spoke about parents being able to advocate on behalf of their children. What about those children…

Debate on the Local Government and Housing Committee Report, 'Local Authority Library and Leisure Services'
Can I begin by thanking the committee for its important work on this issue? I don't think we will find any disagreement here about the importance and value of both libraries and community facilities and leisure services, in particular. They are the heart of…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
I’m sure you’ll be very, very aware of the huge challenges a number of our small businesses are facing as a result of inflation and also specifically energy costs as well. We know of a number of businesses that are now warning that they just cannot continue…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
So, the national library are saying that there's never been a greater risk to our collections, and this is something that they have communicated as well. So, we all know, and can remember, I'm sure, the National Museum of Brazil in 2018 when there was that…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
'The risk to our documentary heritage will increase substantially, mainly through the loss of a number of jobs that maintain these collections, and our inability to safeguard the library building. There has never been such a threat to our collections.'

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Many thanks. It would be worth perhaps having another conversation, because I've had correspondence with the national library over the past week, and if I can quote in Welsh—and it's in relation to further budgetary cuts, if there are any:

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Diolch, Llywydd. Over the past decade, both the National Library of Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru have written to Welsh Government and the culture committee to warn of the risks to national collections because of budgetary constraints. Both the committee and I…

Debate: The Children’s Commissioner for Wales’ Annual Report 2022-23
I thought Jayne Bryant's point was an important one, reminding us all to read the report, because it is relevant to all of us. And I just find myself reflecting, when reading the report and listening to the debate now, on why I am here and why each of us is…

Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Update on 2023-24 Financial Position

Certainly, and I think, in terms of education more generally, your points are extremely interesting. Looking specifically in terms of this inquiry, I understand the concept you were explaining now in terms of when you box children and young people into these…

Thank you very much. You've just mentioned that you're not an expert on Wales, and I do understand that, but could you, perhaps, share with us whether you're aware of any barriers that are specific to Wales or the UK, or are the same kinds of barriers common…
