Those islands have fought well and valiantly for their rights, but they are in a different position from us—for example, they are not part of the JMC process. It puzzles me...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: School Standards (19 Sep 2018)

Darren Millar: ...subjects that I've picked out at random. So, you can't simply suggest that it's because you're encouraging more people to take those academic qualifications.
