6. Will the Leader of the House provide an update on the progress of digital transformation across Pembrokeshire’s public sector? OAQ53066

Yes, I'm very happy to. There has been good progress on digital transformation across Pembrokeshire’s public sector. Alongside our investment in broadband through the Superfast Cymru programme—. I was going to say very recently, but I believe it was actually August, I met with Councillor Paul Miller, who's the cabinet member for economic and community development, I believe; he has responsibility for digital in Pembrokeshire, and we had a very good conversation about the best use of both the public sector broadband aggregation network and some of the superfast roll-outs in terms of exploiting public sector transformation in Pembrokeshire, and I know that the council is very keen on working with us in that regard.

Well, I'm glad she's had a very constructive dialogue with Pembrokeshire County Council. Now, as the leader of the house is aware, schools rely on broadband to help deliver parts of the curriculum, and it's imperative that it is available to all schools across Wales. I understand that Ysgol Llanychllwydog in Pembrokeshire is the only school in the area that is not able to receive broadband, and I'm advised that it is due to logistical challenges that are primarily due to the school's location within the boundaries of the Pembrokeshire national park. Given the circumstances, will the leader of the house, in conjunction with her colleague the Cabinet Secretary for Education, look at this particular case to investigate what scope is there to look at alternative provision for the school to ensure that the pupils are not disadvantaged by these logistical challenges?

Yes, I'm very, very well aware of the school there; it's in a very beautiful part of Pembrokeshire, and it has a very interesting little pub with a bar in its front room just around the corner. But it is very isolated, I think it's fair to say, and part of its beauty is its isolation. We are very well aware of it; we are working very closely with the school to see what can be developed in order to get them online. But I have to say, if you know the Gwaun valley, it's logistically very problematic because not only is it very beautiful, it's steep and wooded and isolated. So, it's about the most beautiful but the most difficult topography you could possibly imagine. The school is quite little, so, in terms of the economic possibilities, it's proving a difficult nut to crack, but we are very aware of it and we are working very closely with the school and with the council to see what we can do to get the school online as fast as possible. It is the last school in Wales that we've got a problem with, though, which is great, but we do need to crack it for them.

Finally, question 7, Jack Sargeant.
