Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. Just to go back to Julian Tudor Hart, who spent decades of his life in the deprived communities of south Wales and saw at first hand the level of poverty. I just really wanted to think about child poverty in particular here in…

Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 2
Could I ask, just to follow that up—? You've mentioned the fact that people don't know what's available. What would help that situation? What should we put in place to help families understand exactly what's available to them, in your opinion and in your…

Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 2
Thank you very much. I'll be asking my question in Welsh, and it's the same question that I asked the previous panel. Could I hear from you all please: aside from funding, in your opinion, what is the solution in terms of changing the childcare system? You…

Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 1
Just one brief question: so, it's up to the parents, in truth, to do the work—is that true? And if it is true, is there another system that you think could work that wouldn't rely on the parents doing all the work?
26 February 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Childcare follow-up inquiry: evidence session 1
Thank you. I'm going to speak Welsh—I'll ask a question in Welsh. I just wanted to follow up on that, please. I represent Pembrokeshire, which is a very rural area, so could I ask you how does it work in practice? Do parents just say, 'We need a place for our…

Governance of fire and rescue services: evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership and Chief Fire Adviser
Yes, sorry. Given that we've got a little bit of time, just following up on that issue about mid and west Wales, for example, I just wonder why there isn't consistency across the three fire authorities to look at the opportunities here, given that we know…

About the intervention and oversight board that you just mentioned, Deputy Minister, could you just explain a little bit more about that, particularly how independent it is of the Government, and also of the fire and rescue services? Thank you. That's my…

Governance of fire and rescue services: evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership and Chief Fire Adviser
Just one more question, if I may. Is that okay?

Governance of fire and rescue services: evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership and Chief Fire Adviser
Thank you very much. Just to return to the issue of Mr Millington, it's unfortunate, isn't it, that the story is about Mr Millington, rather than being a story about things changing and improving. Could I just return briefly to the Deputy Minister to ask you…

Governance of fire and rescue services: evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership and Chief Fire Adviser
Thank you. I'm a little surprised that there is no expectation that there will be training of a certain level provided. So, thank you for saying that you'll look at this again. Could I also follow up on Sioned's question on Mr Millington? Do you accept that…

Governance of fire and rescue services: evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership and Chief Fire Adviser
Thank you, Chair. I'm going to be asking my question in Welsh, if I may. I want to follow up the questions asked by Ken and Sioned. First, from Ken, you touched on the role of local councillors in terms of fire and rescue services across Wales. We're aware…

Greenham Common, the grandmothers in Argentina, the women in Iran—these are all places and times where women have played a significant role in bringing peace, long-lasting peace. And if we look at research, it shows that women can change the picture of war…
