Thank you. In terms of commercial income, then, which we touched on, what's the plan? What do you envision as the role of the potentiality of increased commercialisation? What would that look like in reality?

Diolch. Can I just talk about funding? What arrangements do you envisage for ongoing revenue and capital funding of the national contemporary art gallery, and how does that differ, perhaps, from current Welsh Government budgets in that area?

Can I associate myself with the comments made by Delyth Jewell and Alun Davies about the enjoyment we had putting together this particular report? I think that enjoyment stemmed from something Alun said, which is that we all want the same thing, ultimately…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv)—Epilepsy services
I am pleased to be contributing to this debate today and I thank Luke Fletcher for bringing it to the Chamber. And the reason for the debate, I think, is key, because of how all-encompassing epilepsy can be for the more than 1 per cent of our population who…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
A figure of 538,000 Welsh speakers reported in the 2021 census will have been a disappointment to many of us who are looking to make that goal of a million Welsh speakers by 2050; the figure also runs below the Government's own 'Cymraeg 2050' projection from…

Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. There was obviously a lot I disagreed with in that debate, but there were some things that were just patently untrue, I'm afraid to say. And Hefin David and the Deputy Minister, Dawn Bowden, both alleged that I'd called into…
