Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. I know that time is running out, so I've just got one question for you all—the same question for you all, and it was the question that I asked the previous panel. We know that the majority of the people who have leadership roles in the area…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 1
Could I ask about social workers who are white and black? Usually, the leader is white. What's happened there—? And we also see that the workers are black. What's happened there, do you think?

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with parliamentary academics
Thank you very much. A final question from me on an entirely different issue. It's a question on the electoral system and I was wondering whether you had a view on the proposal currently within the Bill, namely the closed list system. It would be interesting…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with parliamentary academics
Thank you very much. That's very interesting, isn't it? Perhaps we will contact the rem board on that issue. Thank you very much. Could I just ask a further question on job sharing? Do you have any international examples that we can look at or are you aware…

Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Llywydd and the Senedd Commission
Yes, if I can just follow up on that, please, we heard in our previous session that there are fewer people who have high opinions of politicians like ourselves, and I just wanted to hear more of your view on that system, because, as I understand it…
