Weinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): I wrote to all cabinet leads for consortia (copied to consortia managing directors, lead directors and lead chief executives) in April following submission of the consortia business plans. Whilst I advised in those letters that I endorsed the general approach to each of the consortium’s business plans, I also highlighted areas for development for each of the consortium to address.

My officials have discussed the areas for development with officers and I expect revised plans to be with me in May.

Moving forward my officials will hold three challenge and review sessions each year with consortia to measure progress and impact. I intend to chair the session in the autumn term.

Weinidog Cyllid (Jane Hutt): The table below shows the value of spend on advertising for the last three financial years. The breakdown for each channel or medium on which advertising was purchased could only be provided by going through individual departmental records to identify specific instances. Due to the disproportionate cost that would be involved in its collection, this therefore cannot be provided.

After a request from me he has recently provided the detail of this revised closure as it applies to Wales.
