Maria, would you like to go first?

Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 3
Thank you very much. And then may I ask also about the financial situation in your nation in this area? How do you pay for this, please? I don't know who wants to go first.

Do you want to go first, Maria?

Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 3
Excellent. Therefore, if it's okay, I want to ask the three of you, from your nation, what are the best elements in this area, in the childcare area, that perhaps Wales could learn from? What do you think are the best elements with regard to your policies in…

Well, I'll try to ask my questions in Welsh and just see if Maria can understand.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 3
Thank you very much, and I want to ask my question in Welsh. So, thank you very much to you both. Just go back to Scotland and ask how do you measure or assess the childcare provision and the poverty situation as well? Are you seeing the impact of that, and…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Senedd Women's Caucus
Thank you, Janet. I just wondered if there were any other thoughts—

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Senedd Women's Caucus
Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn. I don't think I have very much else to ask, because we've covered loads of areas here. But just to ask, if I may—and it would be great to include Janet on this as well—how do we ensure, as well as, potentially, gender quotas…

Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Cadeirydd.

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Women's Rights Network
Diolch yn fawr iawn. I'll just ask a very quick question in English, because I think we've covered quite a bit that I wanted to talk about. You've made it very clear, your concerns around the structural issues facing women here in Wales and in the UK, but…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Women's Rights Network
Thank you very much. I just want to ask a brief question in Welsh on that final point that you made in relation to the evidence from Mexico. We heard from the earlier panel that there was one example, which took place over six years ago, of…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with Diverse5050
Thank you. I'll move on, because we I know that time is against us. Can I just ask a final question? Are you aware of any other countries, that are maybe similar to Wales, where this is being implemented? Do you have any information about other nations where…

Do you see it being effective as it is at the moment?
, Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with Diverse5050
Thank you very much. Just returning to the Bill as it currently stands, as it is intended to be implemented, do you believe that it will be effective in ensuring that we do have 50 per cent women? And if you don't, is there anything else that the Government…

Diolch. To the room—to Selima and Jess; have you got any further comments?

Thank you. Diolch. And Nkechi, any thoughts from you about this?

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with Diverse5050
Thank you very much. I'll also be asking my questions in Welsh. You've touched upon some of the issues that I wanted to address in terms of the provisions of the Bill, but could I just ask whether there are other things, in your view, that need to be done to…

90-second Statements
This week is Stalking Awareness Week. I wish to briefly shine a light on this pervasive and damaging crime. Stalking is defined as a pattern of fixated, obsessive behaviour that is intrusive and causes victims to live in fear of violence and severe distress…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you very much, Cabinet Secretary. Sadly, the latest childhood poverty statistics for Wales released last month paint a very disheartening picture of stagnation—29 per cent of children now live in relative poverty, representing 190,000 children. The…
