Fiscal Inter-governmental Relations: Evidence session 7
As it is now, no. We can keep on talking about England as a unitary country, but, of course, England was made up of eight kingdoms: Mercia, for example, and Wessex and East Anglia. So, England has not always been this unitary body. I think that we're moving…

Fiscal Inter-governmental Relations: Evidence session 7
Between you, you've answered the follow-up to one of my questions there, which probably helps us. Peter raised the point that if it's 57 million against 3 million, there is only one winner. But if it's 3 million against 10 million, 12 million, and other parts…

Fiscal Inter-governmental Relations: Evidence session 7
I wouldn't mind. The committee has heard that inter-governmental relations are more routine, less ad hoc and subject to statutory reporting in other countries. Is that a better or worse system?

Fiscal Inter-governmental Relations: Evidence session 7
The United States of America have got it right. You might be in Montana or New Jersey, or you might be in New York or California, but you have exactly the same powers, and the person in the street knows whether it comes under the state, or whether it comes…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language: 'Cymraeg 2050'—Our priorities
In a community where 80 per cent speak Welsh, four in five people you meet will speak Welsh. In one where it's 60 per cent, it will be three in five, and in one with 40 per cent, it will be two in five. In the first community, Welsh is the natural language of…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language: 'Cymraeg 2050'—Our priorities
I welcome the statement by the Cabinet Secretary. First of all, could the Cabinet Secretary explain what he means by '1 million Welsh speakers'? Is it a million in Wales or a million in Great Britain, because there are a number of Welsh speakers who have…

Business Statement and Announcement
I would like to ask for two statements. Whilst campaigning in the election, I have been disappointed with the number of empty houses, and that includes a detached five-bedroomed house. Whilst the loans for upgrading and the extra council tax are having some…

Questions to the First Minister
Music venues are important for the development of musicians. The Bunkhouse in Swansea is a very good example. When Ed Sheeran played in Singleton park, he said it was his second visit to Swansea as he had previously played at Sin City, a small music venue in…
