21 June 2022Plenary
Group 11: Welsh Ministers' funding powers (Amendments 32, 33, 34, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95)
I'd like to move amendments 90, 91, 92, 93, 94 and 95. The objective of these amendments is ultimately to limit the funding power of Welsh Ministers. They would ensure that the ability for a Welsh Minister to authorise the provision of financial resources is…
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 9: Funding policy and transparency (Amendments 78, 31, 58)
I'd just like to take the opportunity to signal my appreciation for Plaid's tabling of an amendment inspired by the efforts that I have made throughout the process so far.
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 8: Apprenticeships (Amendments 86, 97, 114, 116)
Move.
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 8: Apprenticeships (Amendments 86, 97, 114, 116)
Diolch, Llywydd. I obviously anticipated the rejection of our probing amendment, but I thank the Minister for providing further clarity on the matter, even though I ultimately disagree with the approach. I am, however, disappointed that my amendments to…
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 8: Apprenticeships (Amendments 86, 97, 114, 116)
Diolch, Llywydd. I will speak to all the amendments in this group. As I stated at Stage 2, I believe in a more rounded tertiary education system, including traineeship programmes, employability programmes and apprenticeships, and I therefore continue to be…
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 7: Learner well-being and protection (Amendments 12, 13, 98, 99, 100)
I'd like to echo much of what the Minister has said and I'd also like to thank him for taking our original amendment forward and supporting the intentions originally set out by the Welsh Conservatives regarding learner well-being and protection. I would like…
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 6: Senedd procedure and process for making regulations (Amendments 85, 87, 88, 89, 96, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 66, 110, 111, 118)
Diolch. Thank you for your response, Minister. I remain of the firm belief that there is an overabundance of amendments in the negative, and that safeguards are necessary to ensure that the reach of the Welsh ministerial powers is limited, as outlined…
21 June 2022Plenary
Group 6: Senedd procedure and process for making regulations (Amendments 85, 87, 88, 89, 96, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 66, 110, 111, 118)
Diolch, Llywydd. I want to speak to my own amendments first. The purpose of amendment 85 and several others within the group is to require any direction from Welsh Ministers to be done so by statutory instrument, subject to the affirmative procedure, and to…

Group 5: Institutional autonomy, academic freedom and freedom of speech (Amendments 166, 81, 82, 83, 84)
I'd like to start by thanking Sioned Williams for tabling this debate. I would like to move amendments 81, 82, 83 and 84. The purpose of these amendments is to reflect the content of clause 1 of the UK Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill, covering the…
