Question on Business Statement 18th September
2018
Mike Hedges AM - Two questions
for the leader of the house, one I think that the leader of the house must be
getting used to by now: can I request a further update on Welsh Government
action on the Virgin Media closure in Swansea? Unfortunately, I say now 'on the
closure'; before we broke up for the summer it was 'the proposed closure'. Can
I ask for a statement on that?138
Can I also request a statement
on banks and UCAS acceptance letters in Welsh? Last year, I had
clarification that Lloyds Bank would accept it after initial refusal. This
year, I've had Santander clarify they accept it after initial refusal. Either I
can, on an annual basis, get clarification from the major banks one at a
time or the Welsh Government can hold a discussion with them and make a
statement to a Plenary session.139

Julie James AM - Yes, well on
that one I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to do that. I'll
certainly look into that. I don't understand why we have to go through a
process of them refusing and then us getting in touch and then being told
'yes'. I think several Members in the Chamber have had a similar
conversation, so I'm happy to see what I can facilitate in terms of the service
across Wales on that one.140
In terms of Virgin Media, yes,
absolutely. It's now clear that the site will close. The taskforce, as I
understand it, is in position but I will discuss with my colleague Ken Skates
bringing an update, now that the closure's been confirmed, to the house, as a
large number of Members have constituents that are affected by it.
