David Melding: ...UK to understand how pancreatic cancer cells develop, with the aim of developing diagnostic tools for the future. So, we have a proud record also in Wales and in our universities and medical schools, and that's something, I think, that we need to contribute and ensure that we take that to its maximum extent and back it as well. But getting those major funding sources and bringing them into...
Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: ...and with specialists within the industry. In terms of recommendation 12, my Welsh Government officials will work closely with colleagues from across Government, particularly with the Skills, Higher Education and Lifelong Learning Division, in order to support the skills agenda and to consider in detail how the screen industry can take full advantage of apprenticeship programmes provided by...
Jenny Rathbone: ...sustainable mode of production of meat, but if we produce them by feeding them soya and corn, we're probably contributing to the massive deforestation of the Amazon. So, we are going to need to educate everybody on how to make appropriate choices about everything that we do as well as nurturing our nature with just very, very small decisions around putting in window boxes and planting food...
Carolyn Thomas: ...excellence at Coleg Llandrillo's Rhyl campus is further evidence of the Welsh Government's commitment to the renewable energy sector. The centre there will become a hub for delivering world-class education and training in engineering, with the latest specialised equipment, and will be a new institute for renewable energy technology, in partnership with RWE Renewables. A main feature of...
Mr Neil Hamilton: ...altogether is that we will cease, once and for all, to make contributions to the EU budget and that money will be available to spend on other things in Britain. We have just had a debate on higher education. One of the things that we could spend a portion of that money on is higher education. Norway, of course, has a much higher dependence on EU trade than Britain has; 80 per cent of its...
Mark Drakeford: ...as an excuse not to invest in young people. The employers that I have met over this summer have gone out of their way to explain to me the actions that they take, working with their local further education colleges and so on, to try and prepare people who live in their communities to take up job opportunities that are available. But even when they have done that to the maximum extent, they...
Mark Drakeford: ..., as well, Llywydd, at alert level 0, face coverings will continue to be a legal requirement on public transport, in health and care settings and in all indoor public places, with the exception of education settings and hospitality. The aim of the Government will be gradually to ease these requirements as the risk of coronavirus decreases. Finally, Llywydd, I turn to two further changes to...
Lee Waters: ...we've had in the Dennison Advanced Material Centre, creating a state-of-the-art engineering training facility in the Blaenau Gwent learning zones, which is now one of only a handful of further education colleges in the UK that can provide advanced composite training as part of its aeronautical and motorsport engineering courses, and 60 students have already started there; 30 per cent of...
Mick Antoniw: ...actual fact, this legislation also enables us not only to add to the list, but also to support adding to that list by looking at alternative schemes and encouraging those schemes, and also through educational processes and the work that governments naturally do to shift culture, to change culture in terms of our orientation, our reliance on and our addiction to the use of single-use...
Mark Isherwood: ...should be aware that local campaigns against proposed housing developments generally focus on the claimed inappropriateness of the site proposed and the inadequacy of local infrastructure such as schools, GP surgeries and transport links to support an increased population. It is therefore also regrettable that he has only accepted in principle the committee recommendation that the remit of...
Paul Davies: ...this can have on working people. And you will be aware, First Minister, that the Taylor review of modern working practices reports that one fifth of people on zero-hours contracts are in full-time education. And, apparently, 68 per cent of those on such contracts do not want more hours. Therefore, it's crucial, I think, that we continue to create opportunity for flexible employment for...
Mick Antoniw: ...who contribute so much to our communities and our nation and who deserve to have their voices heard in Wales, if not in England. We're also building on this by working with local authorities, education and third sector partners on a comprehensive engagement and awareness-raising campaign ahead of the May elections. Last week's voter registration day encouraged newly enfranchised young...
Mark Isherwood: ...residency requirements before foreign citizens can vote here. Dismissing the Electoral Reform Society, she rejected a requirement for politics and democracy in Wales to be taught in all Welsh schools. Dismissing academics, she rejected provision to ensure that individuals are not automatically registered on the open electoral register, impacting those individuals who have purposely chosen...
Luke Fletcher: ...-quality green Welsh jobs. One in five Welsh workers are in climate critical sectors that may be lost due to net-zero targets. Ensuring that there are jobs that people have the correct training and education for in the hydrogen industry will contribute towards a just transition, making sure that no-one is left behind during the green industrial revolution, and guaranteeing prosperity for...
Michelle Brown: ...t forget, and we shouldn't forget, the 1,000 plus children and young people who are currently waiting between 12 and 18 months for a neurodevelopmental assessment, which is going to impact on their educational attainment. So, you know, while the—. The Cabinet Secretary says there have been improvements in various things, including the management of complaints, clinical oversight, and...
Bethan Sayed: ...public services; that we should decimate our emergency services, endanger the safety of our country through cuts to the police and the Border Force; reduce our children’s opportunities through education; and risk the lives of our loved ones in hospitals because of slashed budgets—all in the name of austerity. This is the environment in which trade unions now have to operate: outright...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: ...same aims as that process. So, the task of the 2050 project will be to co-ordinate the work of planning on our journey towards 1 million Welsh speakers, from the early years, through Welsh-medium education in the statutory sector, through to post-16, and Welsh for adults. We will also double the use of the Welsh language by creating new projects and evaluating current projects. And,...
Mark Drakeford: ...the nations of Europe. Just as we heard from Eluned at the start, I think of my own family. Both of my grandfathers were combatants in the first world war. I vividly remember, as a child in primary school, being told by eyewitnesses of the sight of Swansea burning from Carmarthen, 30 miles away. When I heard that story fewer years had gone by since those awful events than have gone by...
Bethan Sayed: ...process. They are trying to get this through, and despite local people supporting it, it still hasn’t gone through the planning stages. So, it’s all about working with community groups and schools to make sure that they understand the importance of renewable energy. With the right infrastructure in place, including changes to the planning system, these schemes could be enabled much...
Julie James: ...sure that we have both the economic development opportunities highlighted and we have the skills production there, so we take on the right apprentices, we make sure that we work with our further education colleges to be producing the right kinds of apprentices to work on these projects, but actually we’ll also be working, of course, with our universities as well, because one of the big...
