Wales Unemployment High Despite Economic Activity Rates

I talked to the Minister about culture and jobs. Wales has worse employment numbers than the UK. Businesses expect things to get worse. Many might not hire due to the new Employment Rights Bill. They worry about its impact, too.

I honored Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas. He helped Theatr Clwyd get money. I remember visiting Gwrych Castle with him.

I attended several meetings. These included the Autism Group which I lead. I also went to the Co-operatives Group meeting. The Health Board gave us an update.

I met with the Archbishop of Wales. We talked about funeral delays. Families are upset by registration issues. This stems from the new medical system.

I attended Apprenticeship Week Wales 2025. I spoke with college representatives there. I also met with BHF Wales and other groups. They want to help young people in North Wales.

I visited Airbus Broughton again with other politicians. We received a briefing and a tour. It was very informative.

I also revisited the Parc Adfer facility. It turns waste into energy. The plant helps North Wales avoid landfill. They have plans to capture carbon.
