Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 2
Yes. That's really helpful, Guto, and, actually, you've answered my following question because I was just going to wonder what your perspectives were on duplication, certainly in line with the Multiply programme. So, I think you've captured that really well…

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. The Wi-Fi kicked out and it was all panic stations here because I knew I was coming up shortly, so apologies. I just really wanted to touch on—. We know that Welsh Government will have a reduced role in administering the shared prosperity…

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 2
Yes, I just wanted to add to it. So, I'm getting from this that, in their own contexts, both Governments are probably right, but there's a level of political convenience to maintain their positions. Would it be fair to say there is a bit of political…

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 1
Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Chair.

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 1
Great, thanks for that. A final one from me, really. Obviously, as we know, Welsh Government involvement with the previous EU schemes and other funding streams has been slightly different. What involvement do you envisage Welsh Government having in taking all…

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 1
Thanks, Tim. Have the UK Government put any mechanisms in place in Wales to support local authorities or those bigger regions to manage the complexities of this?

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair. Hi, Tim; hi, Chris. Thanks for coming along; it's great to see you. And just reflecting back on some of the earlier questions, as a leader at that time, the capacity issues I think you've captured well, because these things came on abruptly…

Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
Thank you for that. Also, I suppose it leads me on to my next question. I know one of Lord Thomas's commission's recommendations was that Welsh Government and practitioners and law schools should work together to create a strategy for law in Wales. Have you…

Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
Yes. Well, thank you for that. Oh, sorry, Professor Lewis, do you want to—? No. Well, linked to, then, support, have you got any views of the effectiveness of Wales's Government in supporting the legal sector in Wales? Has it been positive, or can they do…

Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
Thank you, Huw. I suppose I would just be very interested in your perspectives of how you see the law council helping small to medium-sized law firms in their development. How do you feel you would be able to support them in their development?
9 May 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
Yes, yes, yes. Well, I gather there is a need for wider public awareness of how the law system works in Wales. As you've just indicated, it's not very clear between who makes the decisions on this and that, and I suppose those are some of the things the…

Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
Yes. Thank you for that. That shares some of the complexity of the concerns and things we've got to get under. I mean, to what extent has—? Perhaps we can understand better from you the extent to which the Welsh Government's programme for the accessibility of…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local Communities
The focus of this debate is what Wales's Government have done over 20 years, and Wales's Government have lifted very few children out of poverty. We have the same amount in poverty now as we had 20 years ago. So, likewise, if more focus had been on—. Oh, I've…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local Communities
I'll just finish this point, if I may, Huw. Despite Welsh Labour saying there would be no children living in poverty—Tony Blair—by 2020.

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
I thank the Member for Cardiff Central for raising what is an important and timely topic, and I agree that more Welsh food needs to be processed in Wales, particularly given the disruption to supply chains that we've seen in recent years. It is then…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you very much, Minister, for that response. Llywydd, as the Minister is, I'm sure, already aware, the Welsh Government's proposed changes to raise the occupancy criteria to be classed as a business by 160 per cent has caused quite a stir within the…
