Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A Bill to prevent the sale of single-use vapes
Thank you, and thank you for bringing this forward, Jenny, because vaping is a serious issue that does affect our young people across Wales. One thing that I hope you agree with me on is that we actually need to see more enforcement from our trading standards…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Wales Electricity Transmission Infrastructure Needs for Net Zero
Minister, in your statement, you state that Welsh policy starts with the presumption that grid cables should be underground wherever possible, and I totally agree with that presumption—I think that's right. As you're aware, Bute Energy have plans in my…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Bovine TB Eradication
Minister, I'd like to thank you for your statement this afternoon. As you know, Minister, we lose vast numbers of cattle to bovine TB, but, during TB tests, we also sometimes lose human life. People do die while carrying out TB tests. I have been contacted by…

Questions to the First Minister

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
I would like to thank the Minister for his answer. We all know that going to university isn't for everybody. I recently visited a school in my constituency, and I talked to them there about the importance of going to do degrees—or degree apprenticeships as…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 10
No, I'm finished. I'll be honest with you, I just want to thank you, because that's what I'm hearing and what I heard earlier in evidence was that everything's fine—from educational leaders, perhaps. So, it's good to hear you say that. Thank you.

I'm sure we could write as a committee to the local authorities.

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 10
Actually, on funding, that leads me on to my final question. I raised it in the previous session when taking evidence. When we ask questions on delivery of the Act and making schools inclusive and making sure that people with an ALN or a disability get…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 10
One area that I think was touched on earlier was extra-curricular activities, as well. What we're seeing and hearing is that school transport is sometimes a barrier for pupils who have got a disability, a learning disability or are neurodivergent in actually…

We've heard through evidence that children with additional needs are experiencing bullying in schools. Do you think schools have got enough support and the advice given to them to actually support those pupils who are being bullied in our schools who have…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 10
I'm just interested—. We've heard evidence this morning from senior leadership in local authorities and wider that the system's working fine. But what I tend to find is when I go and speak to headteachers directly, their professional opinions and ALN…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 9
Okay. That's fine. My final question, Cadeirydd, is around funding. We're all aware of the pressures that local authorities are under in terms of funding, and that obviously equates down into our schools as well, and the pressures that they are under. But…

Okay, thank you. If you do get any examples from members, it'd be really useful to feed that back through to the committee. I just want to go somewhere different now, into school transport. We've heard that there is an issue for learners with additional…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. We've heard and heard through evidence that children with additional needs suffer bullying while at school. So, I'm interested to what extent you think that happens while those children are at school. And do you think the support and…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 8
Okay. I'll pick up my final question at the end, because I want to move on to transport now, if that's okay. On school transport, do you feel that people with additional needs are able to access safe modes of school transport to get them back and forth to…
