Ken Skates: The Fund was only launched in May and so it is too early to be able to provide this information. The intention is that the Fund will enable a significant increase in the number of factual and entertainment programmes coming out of Wales, and will provide unprecedented access to the international content market. Sky Vision is a global distributor of tv programmes across all genres, and represents content from an extensive range of broadcasters, including Sky's own channels and other UK and European broadcasters, and producers in the UK, the USA, Australia, Germany, France, Holland and South Africa. Sky Vision's sales team has worldwide reach, through attendance and representation at all major markets, and the company has significant experience of launching programmes internationally. This gives us confidence that the opportunity to work in an international arena will be greatly enhanced as a result of this Fund.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant (Carl Sargeant): Any democratically elected Young People's Assembly should sit with the National Assembly for Wales as the democratic body in Wales. The First Minister and former Presiding Officer have both stated this.
We are clear that the participation of children and young people will continue to be key in the development and delivery of our legislation, policies and programmes. We are committed to ensuring children and young people continue to have an active voice in the workings of this Government.
The Welsh Government funds a national model, Young Wales, to enable the voices of children and young people to be heard.
In the event of the establishment of a Young People's Assembly I would hope there would be collaboration with Young Wales in taking work forward.

Carl Sargeant: The Welsh Government welcomes the Equality and Human Rights Commission's Report 'Is Wales Fairer' and will use it to inform our equality objectives.
Through our Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group, thousands of people across Wales have already received anti-slavery awareness training. This awareness raising has led to an expected correlation in the identification and reporting of victims of trafficking (or slavery), as reflected in the Commissioner's report. By improved reporting, we are ensuring that victims receive the support they need and that perpetrators of this heinous crime can be brought to justice.
The number of adult and child victims of slavery who were referred to the National Crime Agency UK Human Trafficking Centre* (using the National Referral Mechanism) has increased from 34 in 2012 to 134 in 2015.
*The National Referral Mechanism data is provided by the National Crime Agency Human Trafficking Centre.

Carl Sargeant: Tackling Poverty is a shared responsibility for all Cabinet Secretaries and Ministers.
In my portfolio I am particularly concerned about the impact the UK Government's ongoing welfare reforms have had, and continue to have, on some of our most vulnerable families.

Mark Drakeford: A set of 46 National Indicators will enable the Government, Assembly Members and any citizen in Wales to find out what progress is being made at a Wales level in achieving the seven well-being goals in the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
