Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:02 pm on 17 May 2022.
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, thanks so much for this very welcome statement today—a statement that you would not be making had it not been for the contribution that Rhianon Passmore has made in regard to this particular issue over many years. Just a small number of questions from me.
First of all, how do you envisage using or utilising the Welsh diaspora, and in particular some of the most successful modern-day musicians that we have representing Wales around the globe, including people like Jonny Buckland, who went to Mold Alun High School, and is one of the world's most successful modern-day musicians as a member of Coldplay, and who regularly reflects on the fact that it was his music teacher, Mrs Parr, who gave so much in his development? Secondly, Dirprwy Lywydd, I would like to ask the Minister whether any thought or consideration is being given to similar initiatives for drama and dance. Diolch.
