Craffu cyffredinol ar waith y Gweinidog: Y Gymraeg
Just a couple of questions, and I'll be very succinct bearing in mind the time. I'll perhaps put them together. You started mentioning about late immersion centres, and I've actually seen some of the really excellent work with family members who have been…

Craffu cyffredinol ar waith y Gweinidog: Y Gymraeg
I just wanted to follow up on this point about the optimism over the language and what is really happening. And I notice, for example, when you look at social media, and look at something like LinkedIn, it basically says, 'Do you have any languages?' And you…

I suppose the point is, isn't it, that economic investment, particularly on the scale that we saw with the impact of industrialisation in Wales, and the impacts there that were never really addressed—. In fact, the prohibition of the language, working…

Can I just follow on, because you mentioned Wylfa? The issue of social mobility and movements of people and so on have a massive impact on language, and also on economic policy as well. How do you see the challenges, then, of some of the major investments…

And then, just to tie in a couple of themes from that, within the broader economic development programmes of Welsh Government and, I suppose, more broadly, where it really fits in with that, to what extent it perhaps marginalises the focus of Welsh language…

Just a few short questions about some of the economic impacts and some of the findings from the reports, so far, that we know. One of the suggestions, of course, is that the impact of grants has adversely impacted on other businesses within a broader region…

Diolch am yr ateb yna. Wrth gwrs, disgwylir i goridor y gogledd-orllewin ymestyn maes o law i Bont-y-clun, i Beddau, ac, wrth gwrs, mae'r hen reilffordd sy'n bodoli ac sydd wedi cael ei chadw yno at y diben penodol hwnnw. Wrth gwrs, cyllid fydd y mater…

Dyfodol rygbi yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
You are not a pure corporate body, in the sense of some businesses; you are a membership-led organisation. You will have to take account of and what is considered and what is said at the EGM. On this possibility that there may be a different view to what…

Thank you for that. That actually brought me to the final point I was going to ask about. In terms of those metrics, how successful have you been? You've mentioned a number of the successes. You mentioned the living wage and so on. And of course, in the past…

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol Cymru
I'm thinking in terms of legislation that is passed and how it's implemented, and what the impact of it then is on those public bodies that have to implement, but also the impact it has, because obviously you then have a responsibility to oversee that and to…

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol Cymru
Thank you for that. I will move on to two other areas that tie together. One is in respect of legislation. Again, one of the recommendations from PAPAC was that, with legislation, there should be some form of impact assessment on your remit. That obviously…

Just on that programme, to what extent does that programme really fit in with the remit you have as a commissioner? I can understand it raises money, and I know there are concerns about the nature of leadership academies and what they actually are—almost an…

Okay, so very little progress on that particular aspect. You jumped ahead to something I want to ask about, which is the additional funding that you are able to raise. Averaged out, it amounts to about £0.25 million a year—not insignificant, but not…

I'm not so much concerned about the amount. There's always an argument in terms of needing more and so on. I understand the pressures that are there. But, of course, the point PAPAC was making was about the certainty of being able to plan ahead, which means…
