Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:47 pm on 14 September 2016.
I’m grateful for the Member’s comments and questions. Of course, the Member will be aware of the First Minister’s announcement of a Cabinet sub-committee to look at the implications of Brexit and what that means to Welsh Government, and the discussions through the UK, which has already had its first meeting. I haven’t had a direct meeting regarding the research finances with my colleagues, but I believe that is under way with that department.
With regard to the youth parliament, the Government’s position has been very clear: we’re supportive of a youth parliament, but we believe that is a matter for the Commission, and I’m sure the Commission has heard that very clearly, both today and from previous correspondence.
