Diolch, Peredur Owen Griffiths. Firstly, I should say congratulations to your brother and those competing in the choir competition you mentioned just now. The suggestion is to write to the European Broadcasting Union, copying in S4C, to seek further…

Diolch, Peredur Owen Griffiths. Peter Fox is right: this is a matter for the local authority, ultimately, so I think your suggestion of writing to the local authority whilst closing this petition, and sending a letter to the local authority to highlight this…

Thanks to Peter Fox for the additional suggestion. So, I think there's a suggestion there to close this petition, and thanking this petitioner, but, in doing so, we will write to the Welsh Government to encourage them to encourage sports clubs and schools and…

Thank you. Just finally, Chair, on the point on listening, I think it would be welcome if there were a vehicle for those who gave evidence in different forums to this committee and also the Petitions Committee, if there were a formal vehicle where they could…

Implementation of education reforms: evidence session
Thank you. We've heard evidence in this committee that there are children who are being looked after under the universal provision approach, then there are those who have been caught in the ALN system with the individual development plans. But there's a gap…

Implementation of education reforms: evidence session
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. It's the consistency between the code and the Act across Wales, isn't it, as you recognise, and the importance of that being applied. Can I just ask about the term 'universal provision' or 'universal provision plus'? That's…

Implementation of education reforms: evidence session
Thank you. You've touched on my next question there. We've heard evidence as a committee where, perhaps, the administrative work and the planning work required to deal with some of the issues they have to deal with when working with a child with ALN, may be…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful to the First Minister for his answer. The poor performance of Avanti trains in north Wales is extremely concerning, as the First Minister says. In March this year, 21 per cent of services were cancelled. Myself, the local MP Mark Tami, and train…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
I do understand where the Member is going with the argument. What I would say to the argument is that I don't think that distinction has been definitive enough for the trade union colleagues that I have spoken to about this debate. I don't think the motion…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
If I may, I'd like to focus my contribution on the importance of considering the unintended consequences of motions when they come to the floor of this Senedd. As we've heard already from many contributions, all parties of this Chamber have received donations…
