Questions to the Senedd Commission
Firstly, I should declare an interest in so far as I've spent over 30 years working in the commercial property market. I fully understand that a decision needs to be made on the future of Tŷ Hywel, and that during the sixth Senedd, under the previous Welsh…

Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
It partly answers my next question. What would you like to deliver that you aren't currently capable of delivering as a library, in an ideal world?

Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Yes. I understand that there's a significant backlog of cataloguing thousands of archived materials and hidden collections of Welsh and Celtic book collections. I just wondered what access there is to these, and what access might be proposed for the future.

Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Diolch. Audit Wales published a report last year on some of the challenges facing the National Library of Wales, and I just wondered what progress you've made in terms of their recommendations. They tended to be ongoing, but I just wondered if you've got any…

Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Thanks. Much to my shame, it was only my first visit to the library earlier this year, but it was really impressive, and I wish I had gone earlier. So, that was great. You mentioned earlier, Ashok, about the pension scheme, and I just wondered if you could…

Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
So you don't know when. There's no answer to when it might close.

Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
Do people know what to expect in terms of timings and whether it's going to be phased? How are the conversations are going? Because there's a lot of uncertainty at the moment. People are talking about it and are worried about it closing. So, if you've got…

The plan isn't going to be ready until another year. So next August is when you think you can present a plan.

Yes, that's why I chucked them all in there.

Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
I am interested in knowing—perhaps you can come back to this—the number of staff you think is the optimum number you need to make St Fagans fully operational. But you'll be pleased to know, Lis, that I'll turn to the major projects now and ask a question…

Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
I just wanted to ask first of all about St Fagans. I'm a big fan of St Fagans and the national museum being a big part of my life growing up with my young family here in Cardiff, but I know that there are lots of buildings closed at the moment because there's…

No, not yet. I have got one other question. I will come on to the large capital project.

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Finance
Cabinet Minister, I welcome this Government's commitment to review the land transaction tax and a wider ambition to encourage empty buildings back into use. With Wales barely building half the homes it needs, every empty house counts. One of my constituents…

Diolch.

Inter-institutional Relations Agreement: evidence session
Diolch yn fawr. It's been touched on previously, but one of the things I understand the last committee raised most frequently with the Government was being notified of international treaties. I just wondered whether you think that international milestones…

Thank you, both. Can I start by saying how impressed I was with your annual report and your accounts, which I had a look at this week? It shows you're doing some really good work. I was particularly impressed with your systems thinking and your user-centred…

Ministerial scrutiny session: Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Economic development in these communities of a high density of Welsh speakers is obviously critical to keep those members of the communities there, and I think there were parts of the Arfor programme that were considered successful. So, talking about how we…

Just to go back to Arfor—. Excuse me, I'm going to speak in English. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to scrutinise you in Welsh. I understand everything, but—.

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning: Building Safety Programme Update
