Group 1: Welsh Government Relationship with the Commission (Amendments 151, 15, 16, 60)
Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Minister. I'm not surprised that the Minister is not accepting our amendments, but I would outline that a letter of remit is not new. For example, the Welsh Revenue Authority has a letter of remit. So, I think that a commission…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you, Minister. The city of Newport has been crying out for inward investment now for far too long. Sadly, under years of Labour mismanagement, they have reigned over a period of stagnation for the area. Only now, with the shared prosperity fund, the…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
So, Minister, what steps is this Government taking to stop this from becoming a full-blown crisis in my region, to cut extortionate waiting times, and can you commit to updating the Senedd on progress being made, going forward?

Thank you, Minister. I have many e-mails in my inbox, as does everyone, I'm sure, about the fact that waiting times are just becoming worryingly long now. I've also had an e-mail from a constituent recently who's a teacher and was involved recently in an…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 13

Thank you. It was suggested by the students, just quickly, that perhaps something as simple—as well as media and social media—as a poster throughout schools and colleges, just really simply outlining what's right and what's wrong would be an effective thing…

I'd like to start by thanking Estyn for this report. Estyn's independent report 2020-21 makes interesting reading and is very concerning in some areas, as I'm sure the Minister will agree, which of course reflects the pandemic, and in some areas what we see…
