Cost of living pressures and the Young Person's Guarantee - Panel 1
The reason I ask on Welsh language specifically is that it's becoming a bit of a key ask for some employers and I think that's a really important thing. If we're to reach our million Welsh speakers by 2050, I think that's important. But you're saying there…

Cost of living pressures and the Young Person's Guarantee - Panel 1
Okay. That's really helpful, because the focus has been around the regional differences, but are there any other differences that you're seeing across Wales, in terms of provision or access, when it comes to things like the Welsh language, or is it that it is…

Short Debate: Navigating Wales's Brain Drain: Challenges and Solutions
You're absolutely right, and there's a lot that I agree with, Luke, in your assessment of the situation here in Wales at the moment, and it's not only those who are the 'brain drain'—I remember hearing that phrase when I was in school, and so it's not a new…
