Have you learnt any good practice from the Development Bank of Wales?

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 3 - Global perspective
That's very helpful. So, would you say that this is a bespoke model that's been adopted by your development bank, or is it a continuation or an adaptation of an existing model elsewhere? And if there is good practice learnt, how do you integrate that into the…

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 3 - Global perspective
Thank you very much, Chair. Good morning, panel. Thank you very much for joining us. There's been a theme throughout the evidence so far, focusing on the relative infancy of the Scottish National Investment Bank. Just on that point, I was wondering if there…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Brif Weinidog. Live music and entertainment venues are important cultural establishments in our towns and cities, with none more important than west Wales's finest Queens Hall in Narberth. Now, while it's no secret that you'll soon have a little more…

Thank you. And then final question from me: in terms of Tata highlighting the potential for those workers who may be impacted by job losses to be employed in the construction phase of the new electric arc furnace, and in other investments in other parts of…

Future of Welsh Steel: Secretary of State for Wales
Okay. Coming back, then, to comments of yours at the Welsh Affairs Select Committee, you said 'I would not like to sit here in front of the Committee guaranteeing that a major engineering project will start and finish on time'. So, I'm just wondering what…

Sticking with Community, they shared their concerns with us with regard to Tata senior leadership having, quote, 'been saying very clearly that they've made their mind up', Community said, and they also said it 'suggests that the consultation process is a…

Future of Welsh Steel: Secretary of State for Wales
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Secretary of State, good morning—good afternoon, rather. Previous evidence from Community said that implementing Tata’s proposal would mean 'the end of any notion of a just transition'. I was just wondering how you would respond to that.

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
So, finally, Minister, as it is likely that this will be our final set of questions on education and the Welsh language, I wanted to thank you for your responses—naturally, I haven't always agreed with you—and for the way that we can work together on issues…

Diolch, Llywydd. Weinidog, the consultation into changing school term times ended a month ago, with the suggestions in it gaining widespread disapproval from teaching unions, families, and young people too. This co-operation agreement idea between Labour and…

So, information was provided to UK officials on how this would impact in a devolved area, and then it was left with UK officials to draft a speaking note for the UK Government Minister.
