Questions For - First Minister
How does the Welsh Government assess the wider impact of its own legislation on small businesses in North Wales?
Legislation brought before the Senedd always contains statutory commitments to evaluation and monitoring. Combined with our social partnership arrangements, we work with business, including those in north Wales, to assess the impact of laws passed in this Parliament.
Will the First Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's progress in maximising the economic benefits of the A465 Heads of the Valleys road?
The final sections, 5 and 6, are currently being constructed and will support the objectives of our Valleys taskforce, delivering economic and community benefits for local residents.
Will the First Minister provide an update on the basic income trial for care leavers?
On 19 September 2023, we published monitoring data reflecting the enrolment year of the pilot. That records a provisional take-up rate of 97 per cent, which exceeds our original expectations and is significantly higher than that of other opt-in basic income schemes worldwide.
Will the First Minister outline the Welsh Government's transport priorities for the next 12 months?
Our transport priorities are set out in the national transport delivery plan. They include action to reduce the need for travel by bringing jobs, services, and facilities closer to where people live, to make sustainable modes of transport an attractive option, and to encourage everyone to make these sustainable choices.
