The Welsh Government’s legislative consent memorandum on the Energy Bill: Scrutiny session with the Minister for Climate Change
It’s interesting you’ve raised that, Minister, because what my supplementary question was actually going to be to you was: is this something you’ve seen across your portfolio? Because as you said, there’s normally engagement at an early stage. Is it just this…

The Welsh Government’s legislative consent memorandum on the Energy Bill: Scrutiny session with the Minister for Climate Change
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Minister, it's interesting what you say, because in paragraph 9 of the memorandum, you did indicate that the Welsh Government was involved with some engagement with the UK Government and that Welsh Government asked for some clauses to be…

Joint ministerial scrutiny session on post-16 education and skills
The reason I raised the question was because of—. A student came to me who did an entry to politics and economics in Cardiff, did the entry qualification, and was then told at the end, 'If you want to actually study now your undergraduate course, you're going…

Joint ministerial scrutiny session on post-16 education and skills
[Inaudible.]—drop off, actually. I've just done a quick search now and a lot of distance and part-time courses tend to be Master's degrees, and they actually don't tend to do many undergraduate courses, and a lot of them that are part-time are done in the…

I've got two questions here, but not to test your patience, I'll roll them into one, if that's all right. I'd like to know, with the regional learning and skills partnerships as well, where they feed into all this, to making sure that on a regional basis…

Joint ministerial scrutiny session on post-16 education and skills
I respect what you say, but, for a lot of constituents who I talk to, they can get stuck, they say, in employment sometimes. To move on to those better skilled jobs, yes, you can do Institute of Leadership and Management courses and different things in…

Joint ministerial scrutiny session on post-16 education and skills
No. A lot of the sector wanted to do more; the framework that we currently have only sets up for the two types of degree apprenticeships, in digital and advanced manufacturing and engineering. Obviously, in England, it's very broad, as to what they do. I did…

Joint ministerial scrutiny session on post-16 education and skills
What I'm interested in, though, is what enthusiasm is there in the HE sector and with our colleges as well to deliver these degree apprenticeships as well, because it does take two to tango here. The Government can be very keen to do this and drive it…

Joint ministerial scrutiny session on post-16 education and skills
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Ministers, you probably hear me go on in the Chamber a lot about degree apprenticeships; they are something that I think are a great way for young people and to meet the Welsh Government's and everybody's lifelong learning goals to get the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Rural communities
