Weinidog Diwillant a Chwaraeon (John Griffiths): The Welsh Government is working with the Premier League to maximise the opportunities of having two teams from Wales competing in the Premier League.
The Premier League School Sport programme aims to provide high quality opportunities for young people to take part in sport. Discussions are underway involving key partners including the Welsh Football Trust, Sport Wales and the clubs. A service level agreement is being drawn up which will include some key outcomes in order that our investment and performance can be monitored and key partners will be analysing progress collectively. To avoid duplication of effort these outcomes will coincide with the existing work already being carried out by the FAW Trust, Sport Wales and both clubs.
The schools taking part in the programme have already enrolled for a period of 3 years. The number of schools in the programme is extensive: I shall write to you separately with a list of all those involved along with those situated in the constituency of South Wales Central.
The Welsh Government is investing a total of £60k over the 3 year period with £10k per annum allocated to each club.

Huw Lewis: The Welsh Government has approved, in principle, the first wave of investment in the 21st Century Schools and Education Programme. The anticipated cost of this investment is £1.4 billion over a five year period..
This programme has been established on a collaborative basis between Welsh Government and Local Government. The Welsh Government’s capital grant intervention rate is 50% in this first wave and is set at programme level.
Prior to the approval of each local authority’s programme, confirmation of match funding from each local authority was required for this first wave of investment. This level of intervention demonstrates a clear commitment by Welsh Government to support the successful delivery of this programme through partnership. In working with local authorities Welsh Government seeks to drive improvements to the condition of our schools infrastructure and provide a learning environment fit for delivery of the 21st century curriculum.
Gofyn i’r Gweinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol a Bwyd
Suzy Davies (Gorllewin De Cymru): A yw hysbysiadau statudol planhigion sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol torri coed sydd wedi'u heintio â Phytophthora yn Ne Cymru i'w tynnu yn ôl ac, os felly, pam? (WAQ66391)
Answer received for publication on 12 February 2014
Weinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol a Bwyd (Alun Davies): The revised Phytophthora ramorum Disease Management Strategy introduced in December 2013 requires all Statutory Plant Health Notices (SPHN) within the Core Disease Zone to be rescinded if no felling has commenced in the area specified within it. Rescinded SPHN’s will be replaced with an SPHN (m) movement licence and a felling licence. Unlike an SPHN, a felling licence stipulates that the felled trees must be replanted. If felling has commenced, the SPHN will not be rescinded and the trees must be cleared.
This new process is designed to enable owners of infected larch to maintain its value by providing a longer period in which to fell and market their timber. This enables better control over movement to slow the rate of infection across Wales. Details of the new strategy can be found on the Welsh Government’s website at:
