Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Of course, the problems with data collection only emphasise the need for a Welsh-specific body, because if we don't have the data to understand the problems within Wales, then how on earth do we expect to resolve those problems? I hope in the statement that…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Now, that ONS release does continue a story, doesn’t it, no matter how you cut it. Low employment and high economic inactivity. I do accept that there are problems with that data. It’s one of the reasons why we need a Welsh-specific ONS, one that collects…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Thank you, Llywydd. I’ll also take the opportunity to welcome the Cabinet Secretary to this new role, and what a time to take on the economy portfolio, with all of the challenges that exist.

Questions to the First Minister
This, of course, is an issue that has been ongoing for over a decade and has been across the desks of, now, four First Ministers. It's an unacceptable situation to be in. Not a day has passed this summer without a constituent contacting me over the lack of…

The Foundational Economy - Panel 2
Thank you. I'm conscious of time, Chair. I did want to ask around how Welsh Government has been implementing foundational economics, but, due to time, I think if we write perhaps to the witnesses that would be the best way forward. Great, diolch yn fawr.

Yes, the resistance and the need to measure economic success in a completely different way.

Did you want to come in on that at all, Matthew?

The Foundational Economy - Panel 2
I suppose, with resistance to change, a large element of focusing in on what Preston has done and on the co-operative sector is actually measuring economic success in a completely different way, isn't it? Is it fair to say that that’s where much of the…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. We've heard about some of the stuff that has worked really well in Preston. So, if I could come to Councillor Brown first. I've looked at Preston over the years and some of the policies that have been going on there. It's been quite…

Harry, can I come to you? Are there any additional things that you want to—?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
The Foundational Economy - Panel 1
Because therein lies the challenge, doesn’t it? There are so many different sectors within this catch-all term of ‘foundational economy’. We've got care, health, education—food and drink can come into it as well. These are all very different sectors, so how…

The Foundational Economy - Panel 1
If I could come to Professor Green, because I think there's a lot of common ground between the paper that you submitted to the committee around—. I would argue that Welsh Government has embedded foundational economy policy in quite an uneven way across…

The Foundational Economy - Panel 1
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think we've covered a lot of the meat of what I wanted to ask here, and I think that, actually, the challenge you put, Professor Williams, is a really fair challenge. Listening to the evidence so far though, I think you'd be forgiven for…

Statement by the First Minister: Tata Steel
As a member of the transition board, I of course welcome the work of the board and that of the Secretary of State for Wales in focusing the board, and, to be fair, the urgency with which the Government acted over the summer to release some of the funding for…

Rhys is right. We're in a crisis period right now when it comes to GP practices, and I think that's why it's important to have that early debate. But, of course, I think some work from this committee or between this committee and the health committee, even in…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. It's a very important petition. GP practices are one of the two areas that I personally want to see a lot more work done on within the health service. Just in the context of this petition, I know that the health committee has announced that…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I should say from the outset that, in this particular case, as this is outside the area that I represent, I'm not entirely across it, though I do have some sympathy for what's being said. One of the things I think is absolutely crazy that…
