Diolch. Over 500 Commission staff work in Tŷ Hywel, and then, of course, you do have the 96 Members and our members of staff. The refurbishment of Tŷ Hywel is set to last approximately three years. We've only got three and a half years left of this current…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Diolch. I just need to correct you. In the previous UK Conservative Government, under David Cameron, £56.9 million of funding came directly into Wales for superfast Cymru broadband. And we then had Project Gigabit under Boris Johnson, the Right Honourable…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Yes. We need to see a greater emphasis on funding. How will you address these notspots?

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy

Do you have any idea?

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
Where's the £70 million gone? Who would we as a committee need to ask for a breakdown on that £70 million of public money, taxpayers' money?

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
We're trying not to shoot the messenger here. [Laughter.]

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
Right, okay. I'm so sceptical.

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
Can I just interrupt you for one second? Have they actually put—? We can all fill in forms as well, but has it actually cost them anything as yet?

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
GCRE say that more than 200 companies have indicated support, 20 per cent of which are overseas. Now, I could indicate support as a businesswoman, it doesn't mean I'm going to deliver on my indication of support. How actual—in terms of being concrete—are…

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
No, but we are here to scrutinise and take evidence from you, but I'm not getting many answers, to be honest. Sorry. I'll ask some more questions, maybe.

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
I'm feeling here a little unconvinced about this whole thing. So, if I'm feeling like that, how are you going to attract private investment into this? I think it harks back to what you said.

Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
Can we have a flavour of the size of the potential market for GCRE, how it breaks down into different types of testing, and whether this could lead to long-term relationships and repeat business?

, Economy, Energy and Connectivity Committee
Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
Is it in the best location, the GCRE? Particularly in terms of whether it will be accessible for potential customers. 'Yes' or 'no', I guess.
, Economy, Energy and Connectivity Committee
Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) Inquiry: Panel 1
Thank you. Good morning. Bore da. How far are the proposed GCRE facilities likely to meet the UK and European rail industry's current and future needs? Let's see some positivity.

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy: Update on the National Energy Strategy
We don't need more state-owned companies being established, nor do we need more large-scale wind and solar developments without proper consideration. What Wales needs is cheap, reliable energy to keep our existing factories running, help our businesses remain…

Questions to the First Minister
We on these benches very much value greater co-operation and increased trade with Ireland. Around 1.5 million passenger journeys are made between Wales and Ireland each year through Holyhead port, making it a vital gateway between the two nations. Holyhead…
