Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Can I thank Hefin David for tabling this question? As a former agency teaching assistant myself, as the Minister knows, I'm particularly pleased that you tabled this today. If the Minister will indulge me on a short but brisk walk down memory lane, Minister…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Minister, for your answer, and you'll know, I'm sure, the Welsh Government estimated between 6,200 and 8,300 additional dwellings will need to be built annually just to meet current housing demand. But with significant historic lack of supply in…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
I agree with you on that one. One last question, if you don't mind, Chair: one of the other criticisms that we've heard about the overall approach to skills and training is that it's too reactive to short-term needs. Do you accept that and how do you balance…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Just going back to the argument you made, Dawn—apologies if I'm paraphrasing you—that production was the biggest sector, therefore it had the biggest slice of the pie, in the previous answer we talked about the potential in, for example, gaming, so do you…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
I think that report said that there was a lack of awareness of support, so that may be something you'll want to take forward. Some of the other evidence we've heard—I'm thinking of the Music Venue Trust, when they came to us a few months ago—said that the…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
The reason I ask is because in the University of South Wales Games Survey Wales, they said that most video game companies in Wales have not effectively leveraged public funding support. Do you think there's a particular problem with the video game industry?

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Obviously, the creative sector, as you'll both know, and I think you alluded to it in your last answer, is a very diverse sector. Are you confident that every part of that sector knows about the funding that is available to it, in terms of skills and training…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. What do you make of the criticism that the creative skills fund will do very little in terms of the scale of the problem that's—[Inaudible.]?

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Minister, for that answer. You'll be aware of Swansea Bay University Health Board's recent plan to recruit 900 nurses from overseas for four years, particularly from Kerala in south-west India. Of course, we're not opposed to recruitment like this…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you. It is obviously coincidental that there is no official record of you calling for that report to be published prior to the publication—or the broadcast, I should say—of that documentary. As I say, the meeting logs don't actually say that you ever…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you, Minister. That doesn't make clear why you didn't make that clear in your committee appearance. You said that you'd received that letter; you didn't make any reference to a prior meeting. But that letter and the committee appearance centred around…

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Good afternoon, Deputy Minister. This week, we saw Oil4Wales pull out of their relationship with the Welsh Rugby Union, citing concerns surrounding their governance. Of course, you recently spoke to our committee to address the…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful to you, First Minister, for your answer. And anybody that's tried to purchase a home recently, or moved home, will notice that the cost of buying a new home is ever increasing. And one of the reasons for that is a lack of supply in the market…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, you've already mentioned the Wales coastal path as being our pre-eminent tourist trail here in Wales. I know you've had your say in the past about your favourite part of the Wales coastal path. It won't be a surprise to you—it's not the first…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
We've talked about visibility as well. I think one of the most visible incidences, I suppose, of Welsh Government policy that we've seen over the last few weeks and months, and years even, is the introduction of a tourism tax here in Wales. VisitEngland…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
