Robin Millar: I must confess that I have not spoken in many Budget-related debates in the House, partly because I am well aware of the expertise of many other Members. It is a matter of some interest and pleasure for me to listen to the likes of my right hon. Friends the Members for Witham (Priti Patel) and for Wokingham (John Redwood) as they explain the consequences of, and the reasoning behind, measures...

Covid-19: Lockdown Costs and Benefits - Question (13 Mar 2024)

Lord Robathan: ...by a letter, highlighted in today’s newspapers, by 55 academics, who say that this is what it should do. We all know the costs: devastation of the economy and of education—both of children at school and of those at university—worklessness, backlogs in the courts, mental ill-health, excess cancer deaths and an NHS in chaos.

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Improving Pupil Attendance (13 Mar 2024)

Jeremy Miles: Well, the Member will know that we've reviewed the definition of persistent absence in Wales, I think, from the statistics that he's citing, so it no longer is defined as missing school at 20 per cent. It's now reduced to 10 per cent, so that the support can go in deeper and sooner. So, we expect that will enable us to make a difference, not least given the funding we're making available to...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Bullying in Schools (13 Mar 2024)

Jeremy Miles: Well, I'm grateful to Jack Sargeant for bringing this issue to the Chamber. It is a very, very important issue.

I do agree that there is no place in either schools or in our wider society for bullying, and I think that we would...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: STEM Subjects (13 Mar 2024)

Jeremy Miles: ....] But, in all seriousness, I think the Member is right. We can have as many initiatives as we like, as I've just talked about with Paul Davies and we've discussed in the Chamber many, many times before, but I think it's partly about how we describe the aspirations for young people as to the kind of careers they should be aspiring to. Whilst I do think we are doing a lot of that in...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (13 Mar 2024)

So, I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to do that. In terms of progress...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Provision of Nurses in Schools (13 Mar 2024)

Joel James: Thank you, Minister. I have been contacted by several residents in my region who are deeply concerned about changes in the way medication is administered in local special educational needs schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008 (13 Mar 2024)

Jeremy Miles: Thank you to Delyth Jewell for that important question. It is a good question. One of the challenges is the data on the reasons for parents choosing Welsh-medium education for their children, but there is a broader challenge that the Member has referred to, and that's fair enough. The Deputy Minister for Climate Change will announce the outcomes before the end of this week, so that's timely...
