Presiding Officer Statement The Presiding Officer made a statement marking the
one thousandth Plenary meeting of the Assembly since it was established in
1999. The Presiding Officer said that today’s Assembly is a very different
institution to the one that first met 15 years ago, especially as we have had
law-making powers since 2011. The Presiding Officer also said that she very much hopes that over the course of the next 1,000 meetings, the Assembly will see many more changes, including a settlement that is clearer and easier to understand, greater control by the Assembly over its own internal affairs and procedures, and an increase in the number of AMs to reflect the Assembly’s enhanced responsibilities. |

Welsh Liberal Democrats Debate NDM5593 Aled Roberts

propose that the National Assembly for Wales: 1.
Welcomes that the Welsh Government, together with the Welsh Liberal Democrats,

Recognises that the two year budget deal helps address concerns expressed by
schools in previous years of the scheme regarding the continuity of funding. 4.

poverty and educational under-achievement, and in closing the attainment gap
between pupils from disadvantaged and more advantaged backgrounds. The following amendments
have been tabled: Amendment 1 - Elin Jones

with: 1. Notes the real term
cut of £56m in this year's education budget which includes cuts of £5m to the

scheme. 2. Notes further cuts of
£26.4m in the draft budget to post-16 education compared with the supplementary
budget for June 2014. 3. Believes that the
