'Unsatisfactory'
In the view of the
Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee
, chaired by Labour's Huw Irranca-Davies, it is "unsatisfactory that the Explanatory Memorandum did not compare
the Bill introduced into the National Assembly with the Bill rejected in the Fourth Assembly. In our
view, that would have been a more transparent approach."

Three capital projects to be delivered through a new public-private partnership
Mr Drakeford says that three major capital projects are to be delivered through a new form
of public-private partnership – the Mutual Investment Model.
The three schemes – completing the dualling of the A465 from
Dowlais Top to Hirwaun; the new Velindre Cancer Centre and providing a
significant tranche of investment in the next phase of the 21st century schools programme – will
together make up some £1bn of new investment, he says.

'Rolling back of the more damaging effects of changes'
Mr Skates says, "I
want to see the rolling back of the more damaging effects of the changes made
to our local bus services more than thirty years ago.
"A
change that served only to undermine, threaten and destabilise local bus
services."
Mr Skates says, "Taken together with public funding provided to maintain free bus travel for older people and disabled people, contracted bus services for learner travel, community transport and funding provided to support rail services in Wales, the public sector investment in our public transport network is in the region of half a billion pounds annually.
"I am simply not convinced that we are getting the value for money that the people of Wales have a right to expect."
He adds that next week he will be publishing a public consultation on "a set of suggested measures that in the longer term could reform the way in which bus services are planned and delivered across Wales."
