Financial Transactions Capital: Evidence session 2
Okay. Thank you.

Financial Transactions Capital: Evidence session 2
Thank you very much. I think some of my questions to conclude you've actually touched upon in some of your earlier answers. So, I don't know who would like to take any of these questions. So, in terms of your respective sectors—. We've just heard how it's…

Go on, Mike.

Financial Transactions Capital: Evidence session 1
That does make sense; it's clarified it. In regard, then, to the advantages of coming to you rather than a high-street bank, at perhaps a different or even a lower rate, is it because you are more speculative in terms of those very high-risk start-ups…

Thank you very much. I'm afraid I've had a laptop disappear on me, but it's come back again now. In regard, then, to following on from the Chair's question around the knowledge base, can you explain how much guidance is given to businesses not only in how to…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education
I want to pay tribute also to Julie Morgan for her work and support for the cultural life of Wales. So, it's important to recognise, as the Cabinet Secretary says, the groundbreaking significance of the first national music service, and in particular, I…
