Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
I know I'm going back almost a quarter of a century, but I assume the experience is common across the sector. A little different in the library perhaps.

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to understand the difference that not charging for access has made. I know we're going back a bit here, but what impact has that had on visitor numbers and also the diversity of those visitors?

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report, 'Annual scrutiny of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales: 2023'
Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that only one Member has contributed to this debate, but perhaps we could take that as a vote of confidence in the commission, rather than a lack of interest. Thank you to Delyth for highlighting…

Look, time and time again, we've had Ministers stand up in this Chamber and tell us that things are being sorted. Report after report, as we've heard, have been commissioned, with recommendations made, and we've all been led to believe that things would…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
You've already mentioned this afternoon that you're disappointed at the decision by HSBC to terminate its Welsh language helpline service. Now, at the time, they received 22 calls a day to that Welsh language helpline. Since moving to a model where people can…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Education: Consultation on the School Year
May I thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary? I think taking a step back in light of the responses to the consultation is sensible. I am surprised that there was no specific reference in your statement to the impact that some of the proposals would…

Topical Questions
I too am very proud of the record of our respective parties in relation to the work that we did under the co-operation agreement. I am, nevertheless, disappointed that the First Minister isn't here, and as much as I support the work of the Wales TUC, does his…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Listening to the voices of those who are being affected, okay. Well, the Trussell Trust network in Wales distributed nearly 190,000 emergency food parcels in the 12 months from April last year. That's the highest amount of packages they've ever had to supply…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
A visit is certainly something I think, collectively, as a committee—. Individually, if Members want to attend the workshop, that, I think, will be great as well, if that works for people's diaries. So, thank you so much for that. Diolch yn fawr iawn. We may…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 6
Well, I mean, I'll just quote it to you. It says in a council leaflet, shared in 2003, as has been said, 'How much would Merthyr Tydfil inhabitants face paying if the project doesn't proceed?' And the council says, 'The legal consequences appear very severe…
