Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. First Minister, it is very pleasing to hear of the work that the Welsh Government is doing about driving inward investment into Wales. I know that, in response to the questions posed by my leader, Andrew R.T. Davies, you said that it…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, residents in my constituency and across Wales are having to leave the country to access specialist eating disorder services. The charity Beat has called on the Welsh Government to ensure there is specialist treatment at the earliest…

Okay. Diolch, Cadeirydd.

If I can jump in, then, because my next question is about that. How have you engaged with the Government around implementation of those common frameworks? How are the office actually helping to work all of these things through?

Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'd just like to touch on common frameworks. I'd like to know what your opinion is on what role common frameworks have played in the operation of the UK internal market Act, and what potential do you think they have to manage and enable…

Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
That's very optimistic of you asking the governments across the United Kingdom at the minute to come to a unified position—that's something beyond me. But I'm finished, thank you, Chairman.

Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
You just mentioned there your report, and your periodic report does talk about business and trade associations presuming that businesses will comply with the regulations in force in each of the devolved nations where possible. Is that really a a sustainable…

Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
That leads on to my next question, actually. People can take your advice, if they want to, but what are the risks to businesses across the UK if they don't understand the implications of the market access principles?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
It's important that you say that, because I talk to businesses as a weekly occurrence, and I would say to people that talk about expanding or doing things differently, 'Have you considered the internal market Act?' A lot of businesses still say, 'Oh, no, what…

Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
Diolch, Gadeirydd, and I'm sorry that I can't be there in person today. I have had a few problems back at home. I would like to welcome you to our committee. As you know, the internal market Act is a huge change for businesses right across Wales and across…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
I agree with you, Minister, and others in this Chamber that river pollution does need to be addressed, and I agree with the comments of the First Minister that no single measure will solve this problem. I'm very interested in the work that's been going on…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - evidence session 5
Okay. That's fine. And finally, Cadeirydd, to what extent do you think that families and children are consulted by local authorities and schools with things that are happening, and whether they need support? Do you feel sometimes that things are done to them…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - evidence session 5
So, do you feel that children with learning difficulties, who are neurodivergent, or with a disability are discriminated against, and have you got any examples of that?
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - evidence session 5
Diolch, Cadeirydd. To what extent do you think there are barriers for parents to accessing childcare for children who are neurodivergent, who've got a learning disability or have got problems?

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - evidence session 4
Thank you. It's lovely to hear your personal experience as well. I just want to say I'm very sorry for all the problems you've experienced. It shouldn't be this hard to access support and everything you need. My one question that I've got for you is: do you…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - evidence session 3
Do you think schools are a bit like that as well, or is it a bit hit and miss? Like you say, some schools are very good and others just do things to people rather than ask them, 'What do you actually want?'
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - evidence session 3
Thank you. I was going to ask a question about unconscious bias, but I think you've answered that in answer to that question, and some of the discrimination that people do face. One question that I did want to ask is: to what extent do you think local…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Bore da. Good morning. To what extent do you feel that children and young people and their families have been directly or indirectly discriminated against because of their disability?
