Kirsty Williams AM: As I said in answer to your question earlier there is a difference reflected in the exposure of institutions to EU and international students I would argue that it is not necessarily the case that institutions that are not hightariff are not able to do very well in this sector If you look for instance at Swansea University—if you look at the work Swansea University has done that shows you what is possible
Hefin David AM: What is Swanseas success then ? What can we learn from Swansea ?
Kirsty Williams AM: What I think is important—and this is not about any one institution—what I think is really important is that we look to— And I can not force institutions to do this It is a combination I believe for all universities of getting their offer right—so having a curriculum at their institution that is attractive and offers courses that people want to study It is about that curriculum being delivered in an excellent fashion so high quality ratings for teaching as well as having an infrastructure that is attractive to students So it is all about getting the offer right and providing what students both domestically and internationally want
Hefin David AM: But the evidence would therefore suggest that that model of success that you have just outlined is happening in Swansea but it is not happening in other institutions and they are seeing a drop
Kirsty Williams AM: Well as I said I think what we can see from Cardiff Swansea and others is that it is possible to do very well in the sector
Hefin David AM: So Cardiff Swansea and Bangor—but the others not
Kirsty Williams AM: As I said what we can see is that if you get the offer right I think we have something very special that the HE sector can market itself on | Kirsty Williams thought Swansea University was quite a good example for them to learn from. During such a dilemma, Swansea University found a solution that provided an attractive curriculum and offered courses that people really wanted to take. They delivered their curriculum in a fashion way, guaranteed good teaching, and had an appealing infrastructure, which all made good use to attract potential applicants. That was exactly what other institutions needed to do at present. |

mother: Oh, you are welcome. Anything to have you not worry! My daughter here wants to go to school too. She does love her stories.
son: What is your daughter's name?
mother: Her name is Anne. Why don't you take that fur rug to her? She looks quite cold.
son: Definitely, it is certainly chilly these days.
mother: Fortunately, we have a strong thatched roof and mud to keep the walls of this cottage insulated. Otherwise, the winter chill would take us in the night.
son: Let us move towards the fire, it will be warmer over there.
mother: Yes, let me sweep the ash away in front of the fire first. Take one of the chairs and have a seat, son.
son: Thank you very much. This is much warmer than where we were before.

#Person2#: I don't know how to do this. I mean ... yeah, I don't know.
#Person1#: I know, but you've got to. You, you can't ... the ... you know, you've got to do this if you want to try to hope that there's going to be anything to this relationship. It's, it's much better to talk to her openly about this now, cause, I promise you, the problems will just escalate, so ...
#Person2#: But, she might blow up.
#Person1#: She might, but hey, wait, listen. Why don't you guys come over for dinner and we can talk about it together? You know, um ...
#Person2#: I just don't know.
#Person1#: I know, and you're right, she might blow up, but if you don't do anything, I promise the problems are just going to get bigger. She's probably going to end up losing her job, she's probably going to get arrested, and she might even die.

military commander: I shall send this horse to our secretary to get her to send some men over to bring them here to us or in contact with us as discretely as possible.

Lynne Neagle AM: thank you We have got some questions now on the unintended consequences from Siân Gwenllian
Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes we have discussed some of these already but for example under the new law or the proposed law would one unintended consequence be that if someone living in Wales who can not use the reasonable punishment defence—would their life prospects be different compared to those people in England who will be able to use that defence ? I think you have mentioned that in your written evidence
Barry Hughes: Yes A simple answer : if somebody in Wales is convicted—so if it goes towards the end of the spectrum that is serious which results in a prosecution— It may be—the sort of circumstance I can see happening here is somebody who takes a principled stand and declines any form of outofcourt disposal and says Prosecute me We probably would end up prosecuting because it is a relatively serious offence So let us say it comes to court and let us say they end up being convicted of assaulting their child—in circumstances that would not have happened in England—then they would have a criminal conviction they would not have in England and that inevitably has an impact upon their life prospects But I think along the road there there would have been an element of choice
Sian Gwenllian AM: And do you think that that would be an isolated incident ?
Barry Hughes: Yes truly I believe an isolated incident I have said before that I would be very surprised if we even had referrals that reached double figures on these cases They are likely to be very limited When the CPS was asked to conduct a survey across all of England and Wales—this was the review in 2007—it spanned just over a twoyear period and there were 12 cases that were brought up at that stage Now I have to say I do not think that is entirely reliable but it is indicative We had a Freedom of Information Act request at one stage which threw up something like three cases in a year So if you think about that as being all of England and Wales—and we make up about 5 per cent of the volume of criminal prosecutions nationally—you can see why I might say the numbers are likely to be small for the reasons we have explored about getting past the evidential stage into the public interest
Sian Gwenllian AM: Thank you for that In terms of thinking about another kind of unintended consequence in terms of managing performance and all of the targets that the police need to reach are we perhaps going to see some people going through the criminal justice system in an inappropriate way and contrary to the interests of the child because we need to reach some target in terms of performance measures ?
Barry Hughes: I have to say I think that extremely unlikely In the CPS we do not have targets for securing convictions or not Clearly we prosecute if we think that there is a reasonable prospect a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest but we have no targets And I would also say because the numbers here are likely to be so small any assertion of looking to meet targets—it is a tiny tiny fragment of a drop in the ocean
Sian Gwenllian AM: What about— ? There is a target for unsolved crimes or unsolved offences What if they fall into that category ? Is that an unintended consequence ?
Barry Hughes: I am talking about something I do not have great knowledge of here There was at one stage a series of targets for the police that bore down upon cases that secure what was called a sanction detection which counted for Home Office figures That disappeared some years ago Some individual constabularies may still have targets but as far as I am aware we do not have a suite of national measures The police are required to report against this but we do not have targets And in my experience the police are much more sensible these days than they may have been 20 years ago in terms of trying to get cases charged in order to meet some notional target It is much less of an issue than it ever was—much
Sian Gwenllian AM: We have mentioned this namely the risk of malicious reporting against parents involved in private family law cases This happens now of course Is that going to increase if we change the law ?
Barry Hughes: There is greater potential for it to increase I think the numbers again will be tiny and dwarfed by the number of cases where we have to deal with the fallout between a relationship breakdown between partners—whether they be living within the same house or living in different houses Regrettably there are times when children are used as part of this ongoing dispute Getting into the subtleties of the father say smacking the child in a way that was reasonable chastisement or was not reasonable chastisement is probably part of a much bigger piece here I can see it potentially arising It is not something that would cause me concern simply because we already have a welldeveloped approach to dealing with the way in which we evaluate the evidence from parties who may well have a particular position that they want to reinforce sometimes through exaggeration of basic facts and sometimes through fabrication
Sian Gwenllian AM: Are there any other unintended consequences that come to your mind if we introduce this law ?
Barry Hughes: No I think we have had a pretty helpful canter through most of the circumstances here that might happen And I can not think of anything else off the top of my head
Sian Gwenllian AM: Finally from me therefore—another issue in a way—the European convention on human rights Would not introducing the new law mean at some point that Wales could get itself into difficulty because there is a breach of the human rights convention ? And therefore England as well at some point
Barry Hughes: Right How to approach that one ? In the 2007 review to which we have referred already the Government the then Government set out its position that it believes that section 58 in the way that it was drafted is compliant with the European convention There are various parties who would disagree with that but that was the then Governments position If Wales implements this legislation and it becomes part of the law then arguably Wales would be more in compliance with ECHR than not and England would be less so But nonetheless at present I have not seen any demurral from the position that was expressed in 2007 which is that they consider that the position that is been adopted with section 58 is compliant with the legislation It may well be tested by case law that is the way it is likely to happen Some of the changes in this arena were driven by case law—so that case I referred to Regina v H which was heard back in 2001 in the Court of Appeal was significant in helping shape the direction of travel towards section 58
Sian Gwenllian AM: And that case law not necessarily would have to happen within the UK—that case law could come from other countries within the European Union
Barry Hughes: It could but I would be a foolish man if I were to say what impact European jurisprudence might have upon us Laughter
Suzy Davies AM: Inaudible—like common law jurisdictions would be
Barry Hughes: Yes At this point in time that would be a bit of a punt
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Yes Suzys touched on this mildly but in written evidence you say that you do not consider that the costs of prosecuting cases made possible by the Bill will be of great significance to the Crown Prosecution Service and you are basing that from your evidence here today on the low numbers of prosecutions So we have been asked by individuals and we have had consultation responses from individuals who have argued that there is no point creating legislation if people are not prosecuted for breaching it What is your answer to that ?
Barry Hughes: There is a huge body of legislation out there that outlaws certain offences and I think probably about— There are over— From memory—please never hold me to this—but from memory there are something like 10000 criminal offences we probably prosecute 5 per cent of those in any given year There are some offences on the statute— I have been prosecuting for 32 years now there are some offences that I have never come near and probably never will But nonetheless the fact those offences exist sets out in terms what is acceptable and what is not acceptable So we have various defences to do with Acts I remember seeing some about Antarctic stations and offences that might be committed there Well they are not something that we do but it sets out what is tolerant—what is tolerable sorry and what is not So the fact that we might not have many prosecutions is for me not a reason not to say that we should not signify that certain behaviour is or is not acceptable Clearly we do not wish to criminalise everything—that would be a nonsense—or to attempt to set the boundaries by almost micromanaging what individuals do and do not do The criminal law provides a general framework within which to operate which most people tend to understand So awareness is important and it comes back to that point
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you And then the explanatory memorandum says there is a shortage of registered intermediaries who assist child witnesses during police interview and when giving evidence in court Is this a potential barrier to implementing this proposed law and are there any other potential barriers you want to raise ?
Barry Hughes: No It is a potential barrier but I do not think it is a barrier There was a shortage of registered intermediaries in Wales and I know that the Ministry of Justice have taken action to deal with that and we have had a number of people who are now in a position to act as intermediaries Now of course if they were to decide not to do that anymore we may have a problem but in turn we would be looking to recruit more people into those positions So yes it has the potential to serve as a barrier but in practice I do not think it would be a barrier I think particularly given the very low numbers we are talking about we would be able to manage it I have got no significant concerns I have to say
Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you Well we have come to the end of our time Can I thank you for attending the three of you and for your answers which have been fascinating and very clear and most helpful to the committee ? You will be sent a transcript following the meeting to check for accuracy Thank you again for your time in coming here today Diolch yn fawr
Barry Hughes: Thank you It is been a pleasure
Lynne Neagle AM: Item 3 then is papers to note Paper to note 1 is a letter from me to the Business Committee requesting an extension on the deadline for the Bill which has now been agreed Paper to note 2 is a letter from myself to the Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services requesting some further information from CAFCASS Cymru on the Bill Paper to note 3 is a letter from myself to the Minister for Education regarding Diamond reform implementation ahead of our scrutiny session on 4 July Are Members happy to note those ? Item 4 then Can I propose in accordance with Standing Order 1742 that the committee resolves to meet in private for the remainder of the meeting ? Are Members content ? Thank you | Barry Hughes explained a number of unintended consequences questioned. The first one was about the isolated incidences in Wales, and the second came to the targets in terms of performance measure. The following concerns included malicious reporting, the European convention on human rights, low numbers of prosecutions, and a shortage of registered intermediaries. |

Professor F: What s the problem the l I forget Is the problem the lapel or or
PhD B: it really depends my my my impression is that it s better for meetings with fewer speakers and it s better for for meetings where nobody is breathing
PhD D: So in fact this might suggest an alternative sort of a a c a hybrid between these two things So the the one suggestion is you know we we run Thilo s thing and then we have somebody go and adjust all the time boundaries and we send it to IBM The other one is we just run his thing and send it to IBM | The preparation of files for transcription by IBM is facing some minor difficulties, as some features (hand-coded time boundaries, multiplicity of channels etc) may complicate the generation of beep files. |

#Person1#: Are the galaxies in the universe moving through space?
#Person2#: No, the galaxies sit more or less passively in the space around them. But not too much. As the space between galaxies expands, it carries the galaxies further apart - like raisns in an expanding dough.
#Person1#: But I heard that our Milky way galaxy may one day collide with a neighboring galaxy. If galaxies are moving apart from each other, how can they collide?
#Person2#: Well, the universe is a chaotic place, and the gravity from one galaxy, or from a group of galaxies, may disturb the motion of its near neighbors, causing them to collide. However, on average, when you compare two large enough chunks of space, the galaxies in one are moving away from the galaxies in the other.
#Person1#: Wow, you're really informative. Thanks a lot.
#Person2#: You're welcome. | #Person2# tells #Person1# the galaxies sit more or less passively in the space and galaxies may collide because the gravity may disturb the motion of a galaxy's neighbor. |

preacher: As a preacher, I've come to see how corrupt and decadent the church is. That's what made me lose my belief.
pope: Explain yourself then, I enjoy nothing more than caring for those that are less fortunate.
preacher: Well, many authority figures in the church exhort their members to behave in ways in which they don't behave. How could they be guided by the lord if they don't adhere to the lord's ways?
pope: Well, my son, power is always like this. I can't control this, as the church is too large for me to properly moderate.
preacher: Is there nothing you can do?
pope: I'm afraid not, as God does not like to interfere. I, as a man, cannot do enough on my own to fix this.
preacher: Then I may have to find another path for my life. I can no longer preach what I don't believe in.
pope: Why don't you, instead of preaching, dedicate your time to stopping this corruption? In the name of God and myself!

#Person1#: OK, so the value of everything you want to insure is $4,000.

Industrial Designer: at first we will I will f say something about what younger people want our group w w we want to sell our remote controls to And then I will discuss what my opinion is about the costs about what battery is in it what kind of buttons also First the younger people they want like soft mat materials and primary colours Like totally yellow totally red so it is visible the shapes are curved and round like you also said Maybe it is nice to get a remote control not like all the other ones straight and flat and long But to give him the shape of your hand so you it is easier to use or something like that But that is just an idea And then I will have to discuss about the costs of all the things for the remote control The battery there are few options I think the best option is to use the basic battery So everybody can buy it at the at the supermarket Or use a k kinetic battery like within a watch When you shake it a few times it it is loaded the the form of the remote control I think it is also nice have it curved And maybe like it is handshaped so you take it here in your hand and here are the buttons material you use plastic Hard plastic because it will not have to burst like in the in one time And also rubber because the younger people like that what we see in the research the pushbuttons We have one new thing discovered It is a scroll push thing like a mouse Maybe it is easy to use for the channels When you want to go m move up you just scroll up and click on the button if you want to see the next if you want to see that channel And also for the mouse for the volume it is also easy to use Just scroll a bit up scroll a bit down And that is also easy just w when you have a thing like this and you get it here You can do it with your thumb And with your l left hand you can push the buttons | Industrial Designer said that the younger people fancied soft materials and primary colors. For example, total yellow or totally red could be visible. The shapes could be curved and round,which would be easier to use. It would be better to use the basic battery so everybody could get it at the supermarket, or to use a kinetic battery after shaking it a few times, it could be loaded. Industrial Designer suggested hard plastic material and rubber since the younger people liked that. The survey also discovered that the young favored a scroll push like the mouse to use for channels and volume. |

#Person1#: Katie, have you looked at your evaluation yet?
#Person2#: Yes, I have.
#Person1#: Let's go over some of these areas. You are always available to work. But you've arrived late several times. Since I've spoken to you about this, you have improved.
#Person2#: I've been trying. I was only late once last month.
#Person1#: That's good. One more thing, Katie, when you don't have a customer, you're always standing there daydreaming. If I ask you to do something, you're always willing. But when you don't have customers, I expect you to polish the jewelry and the mirrors, put new paper in the cash register, restock the boxes and do other things without being asked.
#Person2#: OK. | #Person1# tells Katie about her evaluation and expresses expectations for Katie's future work. |
