Disability and employment: evidence session 3
Thank you very much. I'm aware of the time as well, but just one further question, please. We were talking earlier about attitude and the culture towards disabled people in work. Do you have some sort of view on that? That is, do you think that—? Is there an…

Disability and employment: evidence session 3
It's okay. Good afternoon. I just have some brief questions, if that's okay, just to finish, to look at good practice and what we can do to change things here in Wales. First of all, have you heard of Medr—have you heard of that organisation that supports…

Good afternoon, Trefnydd. Could I ask for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, please, regarding the raising of the energy price cap by Ofgem only yesterday? With the recent announcements that Welsh councils will see their…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Welcome to your new role, Counsel General. As just highlighted by Rhys ab Owen, the abrupt ending of the pilot last September, following the denial of a one-year extension due to budget constraints, led to a devastating human cost. The evaluation itself…

Papers to note
Thank you. Sorry to come in here. Thank you very much to them for their updated paper. I'd like to note it, but I'd also like us to take action on the two recommendations that they suggest at the end of their letter. Thank you.

Just one more, please. Just to take a step back, could I ask you all—a brief answer, if you could—in your opinion or your experience, why has the disability employment gap been so difficult to close, in your opinion? Thank you.

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae'n siomedig iawn nad oes gennym ni arfer gorau o'r byd i edrych arno, ond dyna ni. Mae gennym ni sefyllfa yma yng Nghymru lle mae'r bwlch cyflogaeth anabledd yn waeth yma yng Nghymru na'r Deyrnas Unedig. A allwch chi ddweud, yn eich…

Disability and employment: evidence session 2
Thank you very much. I'm going to ask my questions in Welsh. So, the first question is: do you know about best practice across the world in the area of disability employment gap? I don't know whether anyone is keen to start. Chair, is there anyone who wants…

Disability and employment: evidence session 1
Thank you very much. Just one other question, if that's okay. We have heard about the taskforce and, as I understand from your evidence, the recommendations are not public yet. Do you think that it's a bit slow, that the Government here in Wales is a bit too…

Disability and employment: evidence session 1
Thank you very much. Could I also ask what do you think the reason is for the gap in Wales being larger than the disability employment gap across the UK as a whole? What are the reasons behind that in your opinion? I was shocked to read that. What do you…

Thank you very much. I'm going to ask my questions in Welsh. Great. First of all, I want to ask some questions about Government interventions—this Government here and the Government in Westminster. You've touched on one of the schemes that I wanted to ask…

Motion under Standing Order 26.79 to withdraw the Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
Thank you so much. I do have the greatest of respect for you, and I know that you have been a champion for this, which is why it is so bitterly disappointing. But I am still unclear. I am really struggling to understand what has changed. We know that this was…

Countries across the world have introduced legislation to ensure that women's voices are not ignored, or worse, silenced. One hundred and thirty-eight countries have adopted legislation on gender quotas at the parliamentary level. Doing it on a voluntary…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: Winter preparedness in the NHS
Winter is hard, but winter is harder if you're poor. If you're a family where there are two or more children and you can't get child benefit for that third child because of the cuts and because of the unwillingness of the Labour Government to scrap the…

Statement by the Minister for Children and Social Care: The National Framework for the Commissioning of Care and Support in Wales
Good afternoon, Cabinet Secretary. I really do welcome this. It’s a great step forward, but I have just got a couple of points, really, on pace. We continue to wait for this. The complexity in my mind is about the reorganisation and the new culture that’s…

Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. I'm sure we all know the real thankless task that many of our carers, both unpaid and paid, adopt, and I know that many in this Siambr as well have undertaken that role in relation to their relatives or friends. I myself have…
