Diolch yn fawr, Minister, for your statement today. Of course, we all want to see the Welsh language properly supported, especially after what can only be considered disastrous census results. Whilst we in the Welsh Conservatives are supportive of Adnodd being set up, don't you think it could be considered short sighted to have the company that is set to take the reigns of the crucial learning materials for the new curriculm to be delivered so long after the roll-out of the curriculum itself has begun? Surely, we now have another cohort of students who have missed this opportunity with this delay.

Now, whilst your focus has been on establishing a company to manage learning materials, do you not recognise that you have failed to ensure that there are sufficient Welsh-speaking teachers, particularly Welsh-speaking teachers in core subjects, to actually utilise these materials? We have a staffing crisis in Wales, yet you are producing materials without the teachers to actually teach them. So, Minister, how will these materials be properly used without the sufficient number of Welsh-language teachers in Wales?

It's not just the lack of teachers to utilise the materials that concerns me. It's crucial that, with cuts to the education budget now announced by your Government, you ensure this company delivers on its stated mission and proves itself to be a good use of Welsh Government funding and efforts. We always hear of new boards being set up for various portfolios across this Welsh Government and, quite often, when you look into them, there's not much transparency, you never know how often they meet, where the minutes of these meetings go. So, what assurances can you give that this will be a transparent board and that they will be accountable? Can we be sure this approach is cost-effective? If so, what mechanisms have you put in place to ensure the taxpayer isn't footing an ever-growing bill?

The fall in the number of children and young people able to speak Welsh was a critical component in the extremely poor latest census results, indicating that the present strategy of Welsh education provision is demonstrably failing, and has done since the start of devolution. A question I have for you also: you know we have GwE in north Wales—how will this board function and work with those kinds of organisations, this organisation? I suppose, for me—. There won't be any duplication, I hope. So, what mechanisms do you have in place to ensure that these materials are properly utilised in schools and that learners can get the most from them? And is there going to be sufficient training for current teachers to deliver these materials and to get the best out of them? Diolch.
