Lee Waters: ...on implementing our manifesto commitment to develop a timber industrial strategy and create a stronger wood economy for Wales.

David Rees: Item 6, the Care Planning, Placement and Case Review (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2021. I call on the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language to move the motion—Jeremy Miles.

An allocation of £33 million has been made to further education and local authorities to support learners in colleges and sixth forms to fund additional teaching time, and £6 million has been allocated to support 1,400 trainee teachers currently in...
Peter Fox: ...rises. And one of the saddest facts to date is that a generation of young people have been let down. We can't afford this to be repeated again. That is why our plan for change would also ensure all schools would be the very best they can by ending the underfunding of young people's education—something that has gone on for far too long.

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Laura Anne Jones: ..., firstly can I start by thanking you for your written statement last week? I really welcome the fact that you listened to my concerns, our party's concerns, and those, most importantly, of the educational sector, and have now yourself taken the decision to remove masks and bubbles in schools across Wales from September, with local authorities being able to adapt if absolutely necessary in...
Jenny Rathbone: ...for people to do. And in the context of some of the really serious county lines activities that have happened in Pentwyn in my constituency, I wondered if you can tell us how much you think the school holiday enrichment programme should be carrying the load here. There's a wonderful programme going on at St Teilo's Church in Wales High School, where I declare I'm a governor. For five out...
