4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: Public Commemoration in Wales: Guidance for Public Bodies (29 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Diolch yn fawr, Heledd, and thank you for the support for the work that we're doing, because it is hugely important work. We talked about this as being something that has been developing over the course of a couple of years. We developed a lot of this work in the wake of the Black Lives Matter campaign and the murder of George Floyd and what we saw happen around the world. We've taken that...

4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: Public Commemoration in Wales: Guidance for Public Bodies (29 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Can I thank Tom Giffard for those largely supportive comments and some of the very constructive suggestions that he made? To try and take your points in order, Tom, it is our intention that all decisions made on how we commemorate, both in terms of future and existing public commemorations, are made by local people and that there is as wide a possible involvement in that as we possibly can....

4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: Public Commemoration in Wales: Guidance for Public Bodies (29 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: This guidance is intended to help public bodies make good decisions that manage the risks of controversy, that take opportunities to create a more informed relationship with our history, and that genuinely celebrate the diversity of our communities. The guidance fulfils a commitment in the programme for government to address fully the recommendations of 'The Slave Trade and the British...

Dawn Bowden: I was having the feedback in my ear then, sorry. I'll start again.

4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: Public Commemoration in Wales: Guidance for Public Bodies (29 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Public commemoration is central to the way in which we represent our history, promote our values and celebrate our communities. But it can sometimes be controversial, and will always be an issue of considerable public interest. Today, I am delighted to announce that we are going out to public consultation on 'Public commemoration in Wales: guidance for public bodies'.

11. Short Debate: Together stronger: Social enterprise and community-owned businesses in Wales (23 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you Dirprwy Lywydd, and thank you to Cefin Campbell for introducing this important debate today. As you will be aware, supporting social enterprises across Wales to develop is one of the key aims of the Welsh Government.

11. Short Debate: Together stronger: Social enterprise and community-owned businesses in Wales (23 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Our vision is a well-being economy that drives prosperity and is environmentally sound and helps everyone to realise their potential. It's rooted in our existing economic action plan, 'Prosperity for All', with its progressive purposes of reducing inequality and spreading wealth and well-being across all of Wales. Our economic well-being is without doubt tied to our environmental, cultural...

11. Short Debate: Horse-racing: An economic and sporting asset for Wales (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: We'll have a charabanc outing. 

11. Short Debate: Horse-racing: An economic and sporting asset for Wales (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: I absolutely would, yes, and presumably you'll be paying for all the bets, Darren.

11. Short Debate: Horse-racing: An economic and sporting asset for Wales (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: But can I also just tell another very, very short anecdote? Those of you who are as old as me will remember the 1992 Grand National. I was in hospital, having my eldest son at the time, and the 1992 Grand National was in April, and the winner was Party Politics, and it was five days before the general election of 1992, and I bet on Party Politics, just because it was the general election, and...

11. Short Debate: Horse-racing: An economic and sporting asset for Wales (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Diolch, Llywydd, and thank you, Llyr, and everyone else, actually, who's contributed to this afternoon's short debate. There's no doubt at all that the horse-racing industry contributes significantly to the Welsh economy and provides employment across many different areas, from stable help to hospitality. And as Llyr pointed out at the beginning of his contribution, it's the sport with the...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Okay. So, a number of points there. Obviously, what I would say—and I won't single out the National Eisteddfod specifically, because all of our cultural organisations and bodies are experiencing very, very similar issues and I'm having regular discussions with all of them. In fact, part of those discussions do form the discussions that I have with your colleagues Siân Gwenllian and Cefin...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Heledd Fychan, for that question, and I think it's a very fair point. As you quite rightly say, we do have a basic income pilot running in Wales and we do need to evaluate that. I think that evaluation will then inform where we take that scheme further, beyond the pilot. You'll be aware that, through the pandemic, we did have a support scheme for freelancers in particular that...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Well, I think it's been abundantly clear why the Welsh Government is attending the FIFA World Cup. I think all of us accept, and have said on several occasions, we would prefer not to be in Qatar for all the reasons that have been previously talked about. In fact, just answering this question is one of those reasons, because what I would like to be focusing on is the fact that, for the first...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: I wouldn't frame it in quite that way, Tom. What I would say is, certainly—if I deal with your first point first—going to New Zealand was a very valuable experience, and I've done quite a detailed report on the activities that I undertook while I was there. I think it was extremely important to support the women's team while they were out there, qualifying for the world cup, playing on a...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: I can't tell you exactly how many miles it is, but I think New Zealand is around 12,000 miles, is it?

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Nov 2022)

Dawn Bowden: There we are; that's quite right. 

10. Short Debate: Sport in North Wales: Ensuring opportunity for all ( 5 Oct 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. And can I thank very much Sam Rowlands for introducing this short debate this afternoon? I'm grateful for all Members and their thoughtful contributions. As Sam has already said, we've got great sporting traditions in Wales. We're excelling in many sports, and we look forward to the women's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand starting next week, and, hopefully, the women's...

5. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: World Heritage in Northwest Wales ( 4 Oct 2022)

Dawn Bowden: Janet, again, I take my hat off to you, I really do. For Conservative Members to stand up and stand there and talk about how sorry they feel for people who are hit by the cost-of-living crisis just absolutely beggars belief. Have you completely missed the damage that your Government has done over the last few days, let alone the last 12 years? So, when we want to talk about a cost-of-living...
