    Y Gwir Anrh/Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AC/AM Prif Weinidog Cymru/First Minister of Wales Ann Jones AM Chair Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Cardiff [email protected] 29th March 2018 Dear Ann, I am writing in response to your letter of 15 March following my appearance before the Committee in Newtown on 16 February. My responses on each of your points are below. Welsh Government support for businesses participating in trade missions Developing new export business requires a certain level of investment of time and money from companies. The Welsh Government contributes to this investment with both free and subsidised advice and support. Companies should not see trade missions as the first step towards exporting. Whilst they are a good way of assessing the potential opportunities in a market, they require a significant amount of advance preparation to ensure companies can maximise the benefit from their time in market. A great deal of support is available to help companies prepare for the trade missions, much of which is free or heavily subsidised. As I mentioned in Newtown, sharing the cost demonstrates a joint commitment and partnership between the company and Welsh Government. The cost of participation is substantially subsidised and, if a company is serious about exporting, then this should not be a barrier to joining a trade mission. There are three different types of intervention to take a company to market which are: Food and Drink Trade Development visits; attendance at major trade shows; and multi-sector trade visits.

  • National Assembly for Wales Communities
    Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee CELG(4)-10-14 Paper 3 National Assembly for Wales Communities, Equality & Local Government Committee Written Evidence March 2014 1 Section 1 1 Introduction 2 Ofcom welcomes this opportunity to submit evidence to the National Assembly for Wales‟ Communities, Equality & Local Government Committee on our activities and regulatory duties. Ofcom is the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across broadcasting, telecommunications, postal services and the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. Ofcom operates under a number of Acts of Parliament and other legislation. These include the Communications Act 2003, the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006, the Broadcasting Acts 1990 and 1996, the Digital Economy Act 2010 and the Postal Services Act 2011. The Communications Act states that Ofcom‟s general duties should be to further the interests of citizens and of consumers. Meeting these two duties is at the heart of everything we do. As a converged regulator, Ofcom publishes high quality data and evidence about the broadcasting and communications sectors in Wales, through, among others, its annual Communications Market Report, UK Infrastructure Report1 and Public Service Broadcasting Annual Report. The data in much of this submission is based on the latest iterations of these reports, published in 2013. Data for the 2014 reports is currently being collated. The Communications Sector In recent years, consumers in Wales have benefited from significant changes in the way communications services are delivered. As a result, consumer expectations have changed considerably. In the past decade since Ofcom was established, the UK‟s communications market has experienced rapid change: In 2004, most connections to the internet were through a dial up connection and broadband was in its infancy with a maximum speed of 1 or 2 megabits per second.

  • What Does It Mean for Planning in Monmouthshire?
    Severn Estuary Shoreline Management Plan What does it mean for planning in Monmouthshire? Coastal planning Welsh Ministers are responsible for planning policy in Wales. Welsh planning policy is contained in Planning Policy Wales (PPW) and Minerals Planning Policy Wales (MPPW) with practical advice and support in Technical Advice Notes (TANs), clarification letters and other guidance issued by the Welsh Government. Chapter 5 of Planning Policy Wales, TAN 14 (Coastal Planning) and TAN 15 (Development and Flood Risk) provide guidance on planning in coastal areas and other areas at risk of flooding. All three documents make reference to Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs) and the need to take SMPs into account in local authority plan making and development control to take account of the risk from physical changes and risks at the coast. The Welsh Government National Strategy for Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management recognises that it is not possible to completely prevent flooding or stop coastal erosion. Local Authority land use planning and development control have important roles to play in delivering the strategy. Your local Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) What is an SMP for? SMPs provide important information for planners and regulators Hold the Line (HTL): to plan for and manage the way that the shoreline changes over keeping the line of defence in time, including: aapproximately the same location as it is now • An assessment of the way that the coast will change over time – taking account of sea level rise and climate change • Identifying

Welcome to Cardiff! Dear Conference delegate, I’d like to welcome you to this 63rd Conference of the Political Studies Association, held in Cardiff for the first time and hosted by the University of Cardiff. We are expecting over 600 delegates, representing over 80 different countries, to join us at Cardiff’s historic City Hall. The conference theme is ‘The Party’s Over?’; are the assumptions that have underpinned political life and political analysis sustainable? This subject will most certainly be explored during our Plenary Session ‘Leveson and the Future of Political Journalism’, a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. We will bring together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices on this topic; Chris Bryant MP, Trevor Kavanagh, Mick Hume and Professor Brian Cathcart. This year’s Government and Opposition- sponsored Leonard Schapiro lecture will be given by Professor Donatella Della Porta, who will consider the issue of political violence, the new editor of the American Political Science Review, Professor John Ishiyama, will discuss ‘The Future of Political Science’ and the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones AM, will address attendees at the conference dinner.
