Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with Ofcom (2)
I take your point about media plurality and variety of providers, but, obviously, that wouldn't be covered within the channel 3 licence, obviously; the channel 3 licence would just cover that. So, I take it from your remarks so far we are unlikely to see an…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with Ofcom (2)
Okay. The reason I ask is because my understanding is that it is a consistent figure, relative to the rest of the UK, and I wonder, in your determination, whether you feel that there is a greater requirement for Wales as compared to some of the other licences…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with Ofcom (2)
Thank you very much. On the channel 3 licence, the current holder—. Obviously, you've mentioned you're going through the process of renewing that channel 3—I think it was three, four and five that you mentioned, in Wales at the moment, but if we can stick…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with Ofcom (2)
Thank you. For Lord Grade, you mentioned that Welsh audiences were represented at Ofcom despite the figures that Llyr read out. For our reassurance, what would you say are the biggest two or three issues facing Welsh audiences from an Ofcom perspective?

Okay. Diolch.

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
Fine. And, finally, can I ask how often has S4C tried to prevent other broadcasters or news providers trying to run stories about S4C? In what circumstances would that happen?

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
And just for clarity, on the final point, that report will be published as fully as it possibly can be, with the caveat you add about protecting people who have come forward—is that a fair assessment?

Can I ask when the review into bullying allegations at S4C will be complete?

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
Is S4C moving in the right direction in this regard? I'm looking at the stats here, and I see that, in 2021-22, 29 per cent of funding was spent in north Wales, but last year it was down to 26 per cent. Is that moving in the right direction?

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
Yes.

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
If the organisations, as you say, if the ecosystem, if you like, is in south Wales, is it possible to reach that target?

Public service broadcasting in Wales: evidence session with S4C (1)
Thank you. S4C is currently a long way off achieving its aim of an even spend in north, south and west Wales, with the majority of spend in south Wales still. How and when will S4C meet this target?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Can you explain to me, then, Mike, why the Swansea Council website says, and I quote: 'Councils have very limited discretion to maintain a number of urban roads at 30mph'. That's from a Labour-run council saying that the discretion is limited.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Deputy Minister for Climate Change
—exactly what Labour's problem with drivers is. And in turn, his policies have ensured that public transport is more difficult too. He's cut bus subsidies, leading to the cancellation of services, and now bus companies have come out to say that they're…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Today's debate comes at a critical time, a moment without precedent in the history of our democracy. It's important that when the public send us a message, as they've done so clearly with this petition, we listen to what they have to say. Instead, we've seen…

People across Wales are making their voice heard by signing the Senedd's record-breaking petition to rescind your Government's default 20 mph speed limit. Many of those signing that petition feel frustrated that they see a Government that they feel simply…

Thank you. You talked a lot about the problems in the health service, and I understand the problems that you mentioned, but can you explain why your co-operation agreement with the Labour Party didn't make any mention at all about the health service?

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Doesn't it say it all about the ambition of this Government that they're bragging about an increase compared to the early stages of 2021, a time where they closed down the tourism economy here in Wales, and what we've seen since then is a modest increase…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
What they do tell us, Deputy Minister, is that there are fewer people visiting Wales. The statistics are very clear about that, and I'm worried that we've got a Welsh Government that's more concerned about the awards it wins than the people it brings through…

Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Deputy Minister, the most recent statistics on visitor numbers here in Wales present great cause for concern. According to the international passenger survey data released by Visit Britain, there were 33 per cent fewer inbound…
