Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Thank you very much. I wanted to look at how you handle complaints, so going on from what Luke has touched on. Looking specifically at the case of Andrew Ling, who wrote to us about the breakdown of his relationship with the bank, he obtained a £0.5 million…

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Well, it is obviously something we need to raise with the Minister.

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
I just want to go back to the implications of the classification, or the reclassification. Because you say in your paper that, at the moment, this isn't a problem, because you aren't generating so much income that it starts to impact on the way the Welsh…

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
As you said in your written evidence. Okay. So, the final question is on the due diligence that you did on the applicant, given that he had this criminal conviction for fly tipping.

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
And the second question I have is: what due diligence did you do, given that we all know that Mr Dauson had a criminal conviction for having dumped waste on a site of scientific interest?
24 April 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
Yes, I'm just trying to understand, if you're a gap funder, why Mr Dauson sought funding for something that should be fairly low risk. I understand it was for putting up an array of solar panels in the Cardiff area, which has not got a problem with the grid…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport: Priorities for Transport: Listening, partnership, making change
I very much welcome your emphasis on consulting stakeholders before you rush into decision making. I've yet to meet anybody who wants the speed limit on the road they live on to be increased, and I just wonder if you had—I'd be interested to hear from them…

These are crucial to improving productivity in our public services.

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language: Our economic future
Is it the case that you need to legislate to develop a degree in care, a degree in public service administration, or a degree in skills required to redesign our roads to better meet the needs for all users?

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language: Our economic future
—that there are only three approved frameworks for degree apprenticeships: construction, engineering, and IT. These are all important, but are all very male dominated.

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language: Our economic future
I, like you, will be looking forward to a UK Government that has an industrial strategy, which is not what we've got at the moment. It seems to me handing money out to lose jobs without ensuring that you're going to get them back and firm commitments to make…

Questions to the Counsel General
Obviously, this sits absolutely on the jagged edge of criminal justice, with criminal justice not being devolved, but I'm very glad to hear that you're working so closely, and you continue to do so, on this really important issue. I'd like to applaud this…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, thank you very much, First Minister, for looking into that and also for the response of the Cabinet Secretary, because we know that thousands of children are living on polluted roads. They don't choose to live there, they are obliged to live there…

Could I now ask you, under Standing Order 17.42, to exclude the public from the remainder of today's meeting?

Papers to note
Can I ask Members to—? There are three papers to note. Is there anybody who wishes to raise any issues before we note them formally so that they can go on the public record? I see no questions or dissent. Therefore, those papers are noted.

Thank you. Unless there are any further questions from Members, I'd like to thank the Minister, the adviser and inspector, and Liz Lalley, the senior civil servant, for your attendance. Obviously, there are a few things that you've offered us by way of…

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Would it be appropriate to summarise that you're saying that nothing's on the table, but nothing's off the table either?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
We have a singular Wales ambulance service. What are the reasons against having a single fire and rescue service?
22 April 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Okay. I just want to focus—. I appreciate what you're saying about how you don't want to rush into decision making, and I completely understand that. I just want to explore what you said in your written paper—which I found very useful—first, as to why you…
22 April 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Okay, fine. Joel, did you have any further questions?
