Nick Ramsay asks "What caused this love story to turn into a tragedy? To be honest it really was a comedy of errors." (There are some groans in the Siambr.)

He cites a theme of naivety in the Welsh Government's purchase of the site, and the extra costs it subsequently incurred.

He says, "It is unfortunate that Pinewood, like several other Welsh projects before it... have fallen foul to the Welsh Government's lack of due diligence, poor governance arrangements, ill-informed decision making, and a basic overall lack of transparency and clarity."

When plans for the 180,000 sq ft studio complex were unveiled by the then First Minister Carwyn Jones in 2014, he said it was a "priceless opportunity to promote Wales as a world-class location for film and television production".

Pinewood had a track record of creating more than 1,500 films in more than 75 years, including the James Bond franchise and the Carry On series.

Under the deal the Welsh Government bought the site, in Wentloog, Cardiff, to develop as a studio and leased it to Pinewood.

The government established a £30m investment fund for film and TV projects and sponsored Pinewood to promote the studio and the fund.

But the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report said the contract lacked detail and ignored potential conflicts of interest, while a building with a leaking roof was bought without a structural survey carried out.

• Film fund to miss Welsh spending target
• Taxpayers pay £400k a year to run studio
• Film flop received £3m in Welsh funding
• Film studio paid no rent for two years

The report - presented by PAC chairman Nick Ramsay - highlighted "inaccurate, incomplete and poor quality advice provided to Welsh ministers on a number of occasions".

AMs also raised concerns officials did not realise VAT would have to be paid on the Welsh Government's sponsorship deal with Pinewood.

The agreement meant the government would pay Pinewood £483,000 per year to promote the studio.

However, the deal did not include VAT, which cost a further £87,600 per year, meaning Pinewood would be paid £2.63m over five years.

The report added: "We are very concerned about the omission of VAT from the original sponsorship agreement, as this brings into question both the robustness of due diligence work and also the failure to obtain specialist advice on VAT implications."

The first debate of the day is on the Public Accounts Committee report: The Welsh Government's relationship with Pinewood, external.

A deal by Welsh ministers that would have paid Pinewood studios £2.5m to boost TV and film production in Wales has been criticised by the committee.

Ministers hoped Pinewood Studios Wales, opened in 2015 in Cardiff, would generate £90m for the Welsh economy.

The Welsh Government admitted last year that the figure was unlikely to be met.

The committee of AMs has now criticised "inaccurate, incomplete and poor quality" civil service advice that resulted in a "catalogue of errors".

In 2017 the Welsh Government ended the deal with Pinewood and now pays the company a fee to run the facility.

No Topical Questions were accepted.

Topical Questions must relate to a matter of national, regional or local significance where an expedited Ministerial response is desirable.

UKIP's Neil Hamilton says "the latest figures I've found for those people who go blind while waiting for treatment in Wales is 48 in 2014". He says it's a "scandal that a single person goes blind while waiting on the NHS".

Vaughan Gething replies "we prioritise those people in the greatest need to avoid the prospect of people suffering avoidable sight-loss".

Conservative Janet Finch-Saunders asks detailed questions about social care and carers, and gets personal: "the way you smile you don't look as if you believe there's a social care funding crisis in Wales".

Vaughan Gething cites "significant reductions to our budget made by the UK government".

Vaughan Gething says he's set up an oversight group for Cwm Taf and will meet families affected by the failings at maternity services at the two south Wales hospitals in the next few weeks.

Mr Gething had ordered the review, led by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology and the Royal College of Midwives, external, after details of 25 serious incidents, including eight stillbirths and five neonatal deaths emerged.

Helen Mary Jones questions why people should have faith in him seeing that Betsi Cadwaladr health board which serves north Wales has been in special measures for four years and the damning report, external which said Royal Glamorgan and Prince Charles hospitals in Cwm Taf were "dysfunctional".

Mr Gething says "I've acted in the time I've been in office on all the information that I had available to me".

He insists he is "far from complacent".

Plaid Cymru's Helen Mary Jones asks how many senior managers or board members in the Welsh NHS have lost their jobs as a result of service failures or mismanagement since 2016?

Mr Gething replies says he does not have a "figure at my fingertips" but acknowledges the importance of accountability.

A day after health minister Vaughan Gething apologised to the women and families affected by failings at Cwm Taf health board's maternity services but rejected calls to resign, he faces AMs' questions.

Mr Gething has put Cwm Taf maternity services into special measures which means it will face increased scrutiny but both Welsh Conservatives and Plaid Cymru want him to resign over the issue.

Nobody from UKIP questions the education minister.

Michelle Brown used to be their education spokesperson, but earlier this year she became the fourth AM to leave the group since it entered the institution with seven in 2016.

UKIP's group leader Gareth Bennett is excluded from the Senedd this week after he superimposed Joyce Watson AM's head on a woman in a low cut top in a video.

In response to Plaid Cymru's Bethan Sayed, Kirsty Williams confirms that "we will continue to provide tuition fee support to students from the EU who start their studies in the 2019/2020 academic year.

"I would like very much to clarify the position for 2020/21, but I am unable to confirm until we have a clear position from the UK government on the provision of loans".

Kirsty Williams tells Conservative Suzy Davies she will ensure that "children's life chances are not compromised" by the biggest reform to Welsh schools in decades.

The draft of the new curriculum has been unveiled, and it will be introduced in 2022 for all children currently in Year 3 or below.

• Draft school curriculum for Wales Q&A

The new curriculum aims to rethink what and how young people should be taught, and introduces six broad areas of learning and experience (AOLE).

It will be introduced in primary and Year 7 classrooms from September 2022 before being rolled out to all year groups.

Kirsty Williams cites the latest Estyn annual report which said that half of secondary schools were judged good or excellent, and eight out of 10 primary schools which were assessed were rated good or better.

The Llywydd Elin Jones conducts a ballot to determine the names of Members who may table questions, and a computer randomly selects the order in which the questions are to be asked in plenary.

The first of the tabled questions, external is by Conservative Darren Millar: Will the Minister provide an update on educational standards in Welsh schools?

Prynhawn da.

Plenary gets underway at 1.30pm with Questions to the Minister for Education Kirsty Williams.
