Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, Prif Weinidog. One of the really key things that you need when you're assessing a health service is data. And just to draw us back to the issue around dentistry, it is the case that the Welsh Government still does not have a centralised…

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
I also asked about the timeline. Is it too much to ask, when you've had your meeting with the commissioners, if you could write to the committee to say what kind of timeline you have in mind?

Thank you, Chair.

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
And perhaps an impossible question now. Do you have any kind of timescale in your mind to move these things forward and come up with a model that will work, in your opinion?
22 April 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Thank you, and just one additional question, if I may. Has the Welsh Government considered the need to undertake research on governance models that are possible within the fire and rescue services? Have you been thinking about that? I know that it's early in…
22 April 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Yes, I just wanted to ask whether there was a situation where you were thinking that there was a need to be more radical, particularly with the ambulance authority here in Wales. Do you have a view on that at all?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Can you put your thing on mute, Dan, because it's echoing? Can you go on mute? Thank you. Yes. Sorry, Chair—that's what was happening. It was feedback to me. Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
Yes, thank you very much. I wanted to focus on the role of the fire and rescue authorities, but you've touched on this area already, particularly your view on what's there now, and thinking of the future, but without having the experience of exactly what you…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with academics
Thank you. We'll come to, maybe, Professor Kelly. I guess it's just thinking about what we can and can't do in Wales, given our system here.

Professor Krook, would you like to go first?
18 April 2024 , Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with academics
Thank you very much. The second and final question from me is about political parties in Wales. Do you have a view or ideas on how we can support the political parties in Wales to ensure that they have 50 per cent female candidates? Is there any evidence from…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with academics
Thank you very much. I'll be asking my questions in Welsh. These focus on sanctions and incentives in the Bill, and the first question is for you all, if that's okay. What's your view on the sanctions and the incentives that have been set out in the Bill, and…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission's Welsh Parliament Parties Panel
Thank you very much. My last question: in your opinion, do you have enough time to ensure that this Bill does happen within your party before the next Senedd election? Thank you.
18 April 2024 , Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Electoral Commission's Welsh Parliament Parties Panel
Thank you very much. I would just like to focus on that last point, namely the challenges, in your view, and in the views of your party, that you will face in terms of seeing this Bill happening. Have you discussed that? Could you follow up on that, please…
