One-day inquiry into heritage, museums and archives

Thanks, Delyth. I won't take too long, because Alun has asked all the questions that I had planned for you all this morning [Laughter.] What I would ask, though, just to get your views, is what sort of impact, or what your views would be, I guess, on the…

Thank you, Alun, for bringing this debate to the Chamber today. I think it's a very important debate and I'm really grateful to you for giving me some time to speak. One of the key lessons that I drew from your remarks was that you are right to say, 'Okay…

Sorry, I'll be really quick. So, I had a meeting quite recently with the BBC, and I had a long discussion about local journalism, particularly in my area where I live, in Bridgend. I feel that the local stories and local aspects are not covered very well, are…
