Questions For - First Minister
What assessment has the First Minister made of the impact of funding more Members of the Senedd on frontline public services?
The clear and compelling case for Senedd reform has been repeatedly made through a series of expert panel and commission reports. The scrutiny role of the Senedd is vital to a healthy democracy, and it is right that we should ensure that it is fully equipped to carry it out.
Will the First Minister make a statement on flexible working practices in the public sector in Wales?
The Welsh Government supports such developments, and employers across the devolved public services in Wales work in social partnership with their recognised trade unions to offer a range of flexible working practices—for example, this includes remote working, flexi-time and condensed hours.
What action is the Welsh Government taking to improve food security in Wales in light of the risks to trading arrangements with the EU?
The Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales and Trefnydd met with UK and devolved administration Ministers on 16 May. The Minister emphasised that only by joint working can we address the risks that all nations currently face in relation to food security.
