Mark Isherwood asks for a "deaf mark" to be promoted by employers to show they are "friendly to disabled employment."

We have reached the final item of the day, the short debate by Mark Isherwood on the employment barriers that face people with hearing loss in Wales.

Members laugh as Janet Finch-Saunders uses her keys to illustrate her point about home ownership.

Conservative Paul Davies says it's "unfortunate here in Wales that only 1,612 families have yet been able to buy their homes through the help to buy scheme" compared to over 88,000 families in England.

There are two Help to Buy, external products available for buyers in Wales:

1. Shared Equity Loan

A Welsh Government initiative to help first time buyers and existing home owners purchase a new-build home up to a value of £300,000 with as little as a 5% deposit.

2. UK Mortgage Guarantee Scheme

Available on both pre-owned and new build properties up to the value of £600,000. The scheme supports mortgage lending of up to 95% of the purchase price.

You can apply direct to participating lenders to use the scheme. The lender will check you are able to make the repayments before they offer you a mortgage.

Members move on to the Conservative debate on support for first-time buyers.

Lord Barnett himself opened a House of Lords debate on the topic in 2011 in which he said: "I have been pressing for a very long time for the formula in my name to be changed to one of need."

In her reply, the Finance Minister Jane Hutt says the debate highlights that the funding system "needs reforming."

Conservative Nick Ramsay says he thinks it's "strange" to have this debate today as the Finance Committee has an inquiry into the formula underway.

"One of the reasons it is so controversial, external is that it has led to public spending per head being typically 20% higher in Scotland than in England. Last year under the formula, Scotland got £10,152 per head, Wales, despite being much poorer, got £9,709, and England got £8,529."

The Barnett formula is a system of grants which dictates the level of public spending in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

When the UK government increases or decreases funding for departments such as health and education in England, the Barnett formula is used to decide how much devolved governments will receive.

The formula is named after its inventor, the former Labour Chief Secretary to the Treasury Joel Barnett, who devised it in the late 1970s.

Labour AM Mike Hedges opens the debate which proposes the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Believes that as long as the Barnett formula continues then expenditure on developments that only benefit England, such as HS2, should produce the full Barnett consequential for Wales; and

2. Further believes that, when the UK Government and Welsh Government are in dispute over whether expenditure should produce a Barnett consequential for Wales, there is a need for an independent body to arbitrate.

Members move on to the first debate of the afternoon which is by Individual Members on the Barnett formula.

Here is a link to the announcements affecting Wales.

Members have moved on to questions to the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, Edwina Hart.

Conservative member Russell George says the Chancellor announced he will fund 30 hours of child care per week, doubling the existing provision in England.

Mr George asks the minister "will you commit the Welsh government to following the UK government's lead here in Wales?"

The minister replies "I will look at the detail and look at what consequential we have."

Eluned Parrott asks the minister about adaptable social housing in Wales and if the government has given any thought to "making an adaptable housing register mandatory for local authorities."

The minister answers it's "certainly something we can look at."
