Thank you, Sioned. And just a very quick question from me around consent in relation to section 128, and just that we know at the introduction that consent was pending. Has consent been granted by the UK Government?

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 11
Thank you, Sioned. And just following on from Sioned’s questions on this, really, Minister, can you clarify and perhaps give us an understanding of in what circumstances Welsh Ministers would use the current powers available to them on the face of the Bill…

That's really helpful, and thank you for clarifying that and for the work that you'll do to put that more clearly. Can you just outline what the purpose of associate membership of the commission is, and why will learner and workforce representatives not be…
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 11
Thank you. Is it the intention to have one associate learner member only, or at least one, and do you believe that Schedule 1 reflects this intent? Because there seems to be a bit of inconsistency in the Bill's text relating to the associate learner member.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill—evidence session 11
