Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith (Ken Skates): There are currently no official statistics on trade between Wales and the rest of the UK. Researchers have developed estimates in the past but the level of integration between the economies makes the measurement of trade between Wales and the rest of the UK a challenging task. Understanding these supply chain issues is critically important following the decision to leave the EU and is being pursued as a priority.

Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Rebecca Evans): The Welsh Government does not routinely collect information on the total spend on autism services in Wales.

From this year we are committing more than £9.5 million additional funding to improve the lives of people with autism. £6 million to support the delivery of the National Integrated Autism Service across Wales, over £1.53 million for the WLGA to support the delivery of the refreshed Autistic Spectrum Disorder Strategic Action Plan and the National Integrated Autism Service up to 2019.
£2 million will also continue to health board neurodevelopmental services supported by the T4CYP programme and there will be a further £24,230 for the Anchor Companies project.

Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Rebecca Evans): Funding for all-weather artificial turf pitches in Wales is potentially available through a number of sources. Sport Wales, together with the Welsh Football Trust, the Welsh Rugby Union and Welsh Hockey has established the Collaborative Sports Facilities Group to provide a strong sporting voice to inform the major pitch-sports facilities landscape in Wales. The Group implements a programme of investment in full size artificial playing surfaces and report that the number of completed 3G pitches up to the end of 2016 is 63 with a further 10 planned for 2017.
Other potential sources of investment in artificial turf pitches include the Welsh Government's 21st Century Schools and Education Programme, the Community Facilities Programme and Vibrant and Viable Places. Support may also be available from local community funds linked to wind farm developments and landfill sites.
In addition, through the Sports Facilities Capital Loan Scheme, the Welsh Government has supported projects in Cardiff and Conwy which include the provision of new artificial turf pitches.
