Paul Davies: Leader of the house, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for agriculture has said that a UK-wide agricultural framework may be appropriate. So, in light of this, can you tell us what kind of framework the Government would want to see introduced, and can you tell us what the Welsh Government’s objective is when it comes to such a framework?
Paul Davies: Will the First Minister make a statement on the Welsh Government's priorities for health services in west Wales?
Paul Davies: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I’m very pleased I’ve had the opportunity to take part in this debate this afternoon. Members are right to emphasise the importance of the further education sector in Wales and to draw attention to examples of some of the excellent work that our FE providers are doing. In my constituency, Pembrokeshire College offers a strong and varied programme...
Paul Davies: First Minister, one of the key elements of economic development plans of the Welsh Government were the enterprise zones, including the creation of the Haven Waterway enterprise zone in my constituency. Now, given that these enterprise zones are crucial to your plans, can you give us the latest news on the development of the Haven Waterway enterprise zone, including the progress made towards a...
Paul Davies: Cabinet Secretary, I appreciate that you’re still looking at the issue of children’s zones, and I welcome the fact that the Government is looking at programmes where it can actually work with the third sector much more closely. Now, giving that delivering children’s services in rural parts of Mid and West Wales can be very different to perhaps more urban areas, can you update us on what...
Paul Davies: Cabinet Secretary, you’ve made it quite clear in a recent response to a written question I asked that you’ve not made any representations to your ministerial counterparts across the UK about the possibility of an animal abuse register and you’ve also confirmed that you have no intention of raising the issue of increasing penalties for animal offences at all at this present time. Given...

Paul Davies: Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on childcare services in west Wales?
Paul Davies: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her statement this afternoon? We on this side of the Chamber welcome today’s statement, but perhaps, from the outset, can I just clarify that the Welsh Government will be accepting in full all the recommendations in Professor Hazelkorn’s report? Can I also take this opportunity to thank Professor Hazelkorn for undertaking this important piece of work,...
Paul Davies: Minister, you may be aware of Alcohol Concern’s Communities Together project in north Pembrokeshire, which will be hosting a conference in March to learn more about how local communities can actually reduce alcohol harm, and how we can develop healthier relationships with alcohol. Do you agree with me that projects like this are a great way to promote healthier living, and can you tell us...
Paul Davies: What is the Welsh Government doing to improve health services in Pembrokeshire?
Paul Davies: First Minister, as I’m sure you are aware, a number of farmers in my constituency are hugely concerned about the possibility of the introduction of nitrate vulnerable zones, which will have a huge impact on their businesses and on the rural economy more generally. Your Government’s consultation has now been concluded, so can you tell us when you will take a decision on this issue? In the...
Paul Davies: 2. Will the First Minister outline what the Welsh Government is doing to support farmers in Pembrokeshire? OAQ(5)0365(FM)
Paul Davies: Cabinet Secretary, the second annual report on implementing Part 2 of the Wales Act 2014 makes it clear that engagement with stakeholders has concentrated mainly on professionals and specialist technical groups to date. So, under these circumstances, can you tell us a little more about what the Welsh Government is doing to promote the Welsh Treasury more broadly to the public in Wales, so...
Paul Davies: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her statement this afternoon? I think it’s important that, from the outset, we reinforce the message that the risk to public health from this virus is very low and that it does not pose a food safety risk for Welsh consumers. I appreciate the delicacy of this particular issue and that’s why it’s so important that the Welsh Government is quick to act...
Paul Davies: First Minister, in light of these cases of avian flu, what additional work are you as a Government doing to assess the impact that this disease could have on the poultry sector?
Paul Davies: Diolch, Lywydd, and I'm pleased to take part in this debate this afternoon and highlight some of the ways I think we can help our learners achieve better standards in Welsh schools. There’s no doubt that we are all extremely concerned and disappointed by Wales’s PISA figures last week. Despite the hard work and professionalism of teachers across Wales, the figures show that Wales is...
Paul Davies: Cabinet Secretary, you’ll no doubt be aware of the planned closure of Lloyds bank branches throughout Wales and that the number of planned closures in Pembrokeshire is wholly disproportionate to the number of nationwide closures, given that three of the 49 planned branch closures happen to actually be in my own constituency. Deputy Presiding Officer, I should declare an interest as a former...
