The energy performance of new homes in Wales was improved through the 2014 changes to building regulations. Further improvements will be looked at as part of meeting our emission reduction commitments under the Environment (Wales) Act 2016.

I concur with the view set out in the carefully-argued and authoritative report of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. The Bill contains some welcome elements but, without significant amendment, it will not deliver the lasting, durable settlement we had been hoping for.

Education remains a central priority for this Government.

The Welsh Government recognises the value of vocational qualifications and through the Learning and Skills (Wales) Measure 2009 ensures that all learners are offered at least three vocational qualifications at key stage 4 and at least five vocational courses at 16-18 in local curriculum offers.

Trade unions are the voice of working people in Wales and a key partner of the Welsh Government in delivering our programme for government.

Welsh Government continues to work with the Betsi Cadwaladr university health board and other partners to deliver high quality health services that provide the best possible outcomes for the people of Arfon and throughout north Wales.
