I’d like to thank the Member for her question and also welcome the support of the Welsh Conservatives for improving the commercial performance of many of our heritage and historic environment organisations. In terms of Cadw, I’m pleased to be able to tell Members today that, actually, 2016 is on course to be the most successful year in its history. It is part of Welsh Government, but a decision that I took early on in my previous role was to bring the commercial activities of Cadw more in line with Visit Wales and the objectives of the Year of Adventure and the Year of Legends. As a result of this work, July 2016 was the best month on record for Cadw. Income was more than £160,000 higher than in July 2015, and nearly £400,000 higher compared to the first four months of last year. I’m pleased to be able to say that visitor numbers were up 14,000 in July of this year compared to last year. The reason that I state these facts is because it shows what can be done when organisations work more closely together in terms of promotional activity and marketing. The steering group that has been put together encompasses representatives from Cadw, the National Museum Wales, as well as representatives of the trade unions of the workforce who are employed right across the estates, and also the royal commission and the national library. The steering group will identify how Historic Wales can best be constituted so that it can effectively realise the commercial potential of our historic environment service, Cadw, and, of course, the National Museum Wales. The steering group will consider a range of options for Historic Wales that were evaluated in the report ‘Investing in the future to protect the past’, which the Member is aware was prepared by PwC earlier this year. That report, which has been published on the Welsh Government’s website, was informed by a steering group that was chaired by Baroness Randerson. The steering group now is chaired by Justin Albert from the National Trust. He has incredible knowledge of the sector and has great understanding of the Welsh heritage estate, but is independent of the organisations being considered as part of this exercise.

In terms of whether or not we need legislation, well, that will be considered as part of the recommendations that the steering group ultimately reaches. In terms of wider engagement, it’s my intention to go out to a public consultation in 2017, once the steering group has reported back.
