Gofyn i Weinidog yr Economi, Gwyddoniaeth a Thrafnidiaeth

Edwina Hart: The airport is operated at arms length with an investor who is prepared to take a medium to long term view on their investment. All investments therefore are made on an MEOP basis as required by EU State Aid Guidance for support to airports.  Last week the EC published new guidelines on the State Aid support for airports, these new guidelines will assist in the decision relating to any future MEOP investment made by the Welsh Government.

Gofyn i’r Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau

Angela Burns (Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro): A wnaiff y Gweinidog esbonio'r rhesymau dros y cynllun peilot ar fynediad hyblyg i'r Cyfnod Sylfaen mewn pedwar awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru? (WAQ66532)

Derbyniwyd ateb i’w gyhoeddi ar 12 Mawrth 2014

Weinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): I have set up these pilots to respond to some concerns received from parents/carers about the flexibility of the Foundation Phase. These concerns include the way the hours are allocated and the number of sessions/days the Foundation Phase is offered in some places which do not always fit well with work commitments and the availability of wrap-around childcare.

The Welsh Government has, therefore, agreed to pilot options to explore ways in which flexibility of access to Foundation Phase provision might be increase, taking place from January 2014 until July 2015 and aiming to:  

• test flexibility options across the Foundation Phase in maintained and non-maintained settings;

• identify issues that may arise for local authorities and settings as a result of providing or trying to provide greater flexibility;

• consider how those issues can be addressed; and

• create a better understanding of whether increased flexibility makes a difference to parents ability to access the Foundation Phase for their child.

Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): A wnaiff y Gweinidog nodi cyfanswm y cymorth cyllid y gofynnwyd amdano gan Gyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy ar gyfer llifogydd arfordirol / atgyweirio difrod gan stormydd yn Aberconwy? (WAQ66533)
