One-day inquiry on Welsh Language: Welsh language civic organisations
Thanks, Chair. I'm just curious if you could outline any engagement you've had with Welsh Government with regard to their international strategy. So, I'd be just as interested if you haven't, as well as if you have, and the nature of that involvement would be…

One-day inquiry on Welsh Language: Welsh language civic organisations
Thank you, Delyth. Only the one question from me. I'm just curious to what extent you've worked with the Welsh Government to outline their international strategy, or worked within their international frameworks or networks. So, I'd be just as interested if…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, as we look ahead to Small Business Saturday, as you have, I'd like to acknowledge as well the amazing perseverance of small businesses here in Wales, particularly in my region of South Wales West. These companies, many of which are family-run…

Papers to note
Yes. If the committee wants to write the letter, that's fine, but I wouldn't feel comfortable unless you get the language correct and I'd quite like to see that then, before that goes out.

Papers to note
I'd be quite keen to see the response from the Secretary of State before we kind of waded in; I think it probably would be for the best. And secondly, if we were to go down that road, as I say, I would like to see the draft before it was sent.

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Well, you obviously mentioned that you're mindful of the Welsh Government's sort of international strategy, so how do you know that you're meeting those criteria? Are Welsh Government kind of—? How do Welsh Government monitor that, if at all?

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Can I just follow up? From the three answers we had there, I think it was only Pauline that mentioned a kind of role in formulating that strategy, so I'm interested to know from Sara or Dyfrig—I think Sara mentioned about the kind of work within the strategy…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Thanks. Obviously, the Welsh Government has an international strategy. I'm just curious to know what level of engagement, either directly, indirectly, or not at all, you've had with that international strategy. It would be good to hear whether you have or you…

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
Thank you, Delyth, and good morning, everybody. It's lovely to have you with us in the committee today. I wanted to start by asking about Wales's place in the world. How do you think your sector should be used to promote Wales's place in the world?

No, I think that covers everything I've got, Chair.

One day inquiry on arts and creative industries
I think Diane mentioned about specific examples of the work that you're doing in that sector, so I'm quite keen to learn a bit more about that, but maybe that's something, if you're happy, Chair, that is done in writing, perhaps, after the—. Because I'm…

Brilliant. Yes, no problem. So, I wanted to start this morning by asking you all about Wales's place in the world, and how you see your sector should be used to promote Wales to the world.

Hello there, good morning, everybody. Just before we start, I couldn't completely hear all the witnesses in the room. I don't know if it's a microphone thing, but it wasn't super clear.

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 3
Thank you, both. I'm conscious of time, Chair, so I'll pass back to you if that's all right.

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 3
Yes, okay. Thanks, Jenny. I'll just start then by asking, as Jenny alluded to, I guess, what key measures your nation has in place to support workforce development and fair work within the childcare sector. Do you feel it's sufficient, and are there any…

No, but I think Gwenllian wanted to come in to respond to that.

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 2
Thanks, Chair. We were just talking there about the out-of-school childcare sector, and I'm pretty keen to get an assessment of the impact you think COVID has had on that particular sector, and how the Welsh Government—what they can do now to support the…

Childcare and parental employment—evidence session 1
Yes, sorry, Chair. I'm very conscious of time, so I'll just try and condense what I'm trying to ask into one question. Shavanah, you mentioned earlier the TUC survey where you found that two thirds of mothers didn't feel they had sufficient childcare at the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Spiking
Diolch ichi, Dirprwy Lywydd. I’m pleased to open this Senedd debate today on the growing concern around the shocking increase of drink spiking in nightclubs in Wales and across the UK. I'm sure many of us in this Chamber will have heard some horrific stories…

Papers to note
Diolch, Delyth. I just wanted to endorse, I guess, what Alun said, and clearly there is a demarcation there behind the scenes, because a lot of the witnesses, for example, that we had today had mentioned not that they had met with the Minister, but they'd met…

One-day inquiry into heritage, museums and archives
Yes, just one very brief one. I'm just wondering what assessment you've made of the introduction of mandatory COVID passes in your sector, and what impact you think that will have.

One-day inquiry into heritage, museums and archives
Yes, no problem. So, I'm just keen to get a better understanding, basically, of the current impacts of COVID, so how it's treating you today as opposed to when we were going through a worse time. So, is there any further specific funding you might need today…
