Statement by the Minister for Economy: Stronger Regional Economies
Diolch, Deputy Llywydd. Minister, it would have been nice to hear some positivity throughout your speech, but you did lose me after you kept criticising the UK Government for investing in parts of Wales that your Government has forgotten for years. And with…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. Thank you, First Minister. Your Government's plan to build 20,000 affordable homes is an ambitious target. However, the building of homes in my constituency is at a standstill due to pollution targets. I'm not disputing the need to address pollution…

Okay, that's great; thank you. I've got just two final questions on apprenticeships. I know they're cross-cutting with the Minister for Economy, but bear with me on these ones. We've heard a warning from the National Training Federation Wales that the Bill…

Back to me. [Laughter.] Minister, I've got just two questions, and there may be some follow-ons. Several stakeholders have concerns about the commission's powers to rationalise sixth forms, and they're worried about the unintended consequences for…

Yes, that is, thank you. Just moving on slightly on this, when we met with HEFCW they suggested in evidence a new strategic duty that requires the commission to promote competitiveness and collaboration in research and innovation. So, I just wonder what your…

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 11
Okay. Diolch, Minister. I want to move on to research and innovation now, because it does state that only registered providers, in other words, those that provide higher education, will be eligible to receive research and innovation funding. I want to know…

COVID-19 recovery and winter pressures on public services
