Suzy Davies: I'm grateful for that answer, actually. I'm pleased to hear that the work's being done on the bullying guidance there, which I hope will be as broad as possible and include bullying for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender—and a whole range of other factors that we've spoken about here before. I was grateful to the Minister for confirming my understanding that the pay rise for...
Suzy Davies: No, no.
Suzy Davies: But not ALN.
Suzy Davies: Thank you. I was anticipating your answer as well, as it happens. I expect we'll be back here before the Donaldson curriculum is finalised, because I think there is space—this is not the same as, 'Can I bring falconry on to the curriculum?', this is about life-saving skills. And there's a demand for it to be mandatory on the curriculum, as far as I can tell, so perhaps we'll return to it. ...
Suzy Davies: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Yesterday was Restart a Heart Day. I'm sure you've been anticipating this question. The health Secretary's out-of-hospital cardiac arrest plan can only go so far, and as far as I can tell from speaking to the relevant charities across Wales, there is still resistance among your officials to include emergency life-saving skills, not just cardiopulmonary resuscitation,...
Suzy Davies: Okay. Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Just briefly, then, we're not finished on top trumps with ironworks—I'm going to raise you all with Neath ironworks. But I do it very specifically, because, of course, there's no mention of co-production in the prospectus itself, but it does refer to community stewardship, and I really hope that you will look on the Neath and Dulais valleys as good...
Suzy Davies: First Minister, the economic action plan states that, 'Good quality jobs and regions that are attractive places in which to live, work and invest, will provide people with a reason to remain or return to work and live in communities where the Welsh language thrives'. Good education, of course, underpins this ambition, and, while these statements seem aimed at young people who are already in...
Suzy Davies: Will the First Minister make a statement on emergency services in South Wales West?
Suzy Davies: Would you take an intervention? I'm just curious—one of the things that came up in the course of deciding on this Bill was whether 16 and 17-year-olds might like some education through the school system about the political system, and so forth, rather than party politics. Do you have a view about whether that's better dealt with in a Bill like this, or within the Government's own local...
Suzy Davies: Will you take an intervention?
Suzy Davies: I haven't got a huge amount to add to that which we just heard from the Llywydd. I just think it's important to point out that we have these powers and we should use them. While the more difficult questions, perhaps, have been delayed to a second Bill, there is a serious purpose in this Bill as well, and I mean particularly the change of name to this Parliament. It's not just a vanity...
Suzy Davies: Well, certainly—obviously, I'm not going to give you too much detail; quite a lot of this will be confidential, and I'm sure you understand why. But the level of attention paid to the Colwyn Bay office is the same as here. So, the whole of the Senedd is classed as a tier 1 site. The National Assembly for Wales's security team works in partnership here with South Wales Police and other...
Suzy Davies: Thank you for that question. It's a serious question and, as you may notice from budgets in the most recent years, the Commission has already made a significant investment in protective security across the estate but also in Members' offices, which is regularly reviewed, considering the UK threat level from international terrorism. And, as well as providing appropriate security advice and...
Suzy Davies: Oh, absolutely. I can give you that reassurance now. We all want this to work. The figures that we have—. This is the first time we've done it; it's been done on best estimates and comparisons with similar ideas in other Parliaments, if you like. But, if this doesn't turn out to be enough money, we will have to, as a Commission, find extra resources to make sure that we can support it...
Suzy Davies: Absolutely. The Assembly Commission agreed in November 2016 that £100,000 would go in this financial year to help set the institution up and to promote it and to help young people understand what it would be for. And, thereafter, in non-election years, we're talking about £50,000.
Suzy Davies: Thank you for that contribution. I'm hoping that the members of staff hear the congratulations that you've offered them, because the girl guides and brownies that you were talking about obviously had an amazing experience, and, if we can compare what their experience was like with those who came in during the Eisteddfod, where understanding of what happens in this place grew really quite...
Suzy Davies: Thank you. Well, we engage with over 20,000 young people each year, half of which engage with us on the estate. Youth groups, colleges and schools are all invited to take part in sessions in Siambr Hywel, and we also travel to schools—that should be more convenient for them. The range of services offered to young people is actually advertised on the website as well—so, I'm just giving...
Suzy Davies: Well, I think it's fair to say that all parts of the public sector, particularly our local authorities, have been great participants in this commemoration over the last four years. We're talking about the end of those commemorations now, and, as we heard earlier, of course, local authorities are strapped for cash at the moment, but the same is true of the Commission in deciding how it needs...
Suzy Davies: Thank you very much for that idea. We're always looking for new ideas in the Commission to improve the building and perhaps convey our connection with the people of Wales. I mean, this is a serious part of our history, and I hope that the temporary exhibitions and the work that's been done in the last few years have helped maintain that link, and particularly for young people, to remind them...
Suzy Davies: Thank you, Andrew. Well, over the last four years, of course, we've worked with a range of partners to commemorate those who lost their lives, including the 14-18 NOW and Wales for Peace, to hold conferences, a series of guest lectures and panel discussions, including contributions of experts in particular aspects of war. We'll all remember the exhibitions, including the weeping willow...
