Welsh Conservatives Debate: The defence sector
Hopefully, we're getting to that point where we've got some common ground across the Chamber in relation to how important defence is to our economy, and the aerospace sector as well, but the measure of success can't simply be about how much money we spend on…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
I've got one quick other question, and that is: where are the staff going to come from? And how much is all of this going to cost us, I guess? How quickly will it happen? Is it going to be the panel that will make that decision? Are the staff going to come…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Just quickly, you've talked about this remit letter. I'm assuming this in relation to what was in the Plaid Cymru manifesto about reforming the bank of Wales. Is that what we're talking about here? Because that was specifically around the financial products…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Can I just say, in terms of going back to the conversations that we were having in the room last week, the biggest thing that everyone was talking about was the frustration over how slow everything always is in Wales. And I think it's important for me to…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
We've talked a bit about procurement frameworks previously, and you mentioned in terms of social partnership—. So, I understand that fully, as someone who was there at the table previously; we've been arguing for the need for us to tighten things up in…

Audit Wales brief: Welsh Government arrangements for funding local government
The reason I ask is because after COVID, and during COVID, there was a series of grants that then continued, and they've almost kind of become a part of what people need at this moment in time.

Audit Wales brief: Welsh Government arrangements for funding local government
