...release any Welsh Government land for the purpose of construction of the proposed super-prison; b) to develop the local economy through supporting businesses in the industrial park; and c) to make representations to the UK Government in support of alternatives to large prisons.
Mr Neil Hamilton: ...period for the document ‘Taking Forward Wales’ Sustainable Management of Natural Resources’ is supposed to end on the thirtieth of this month. I know that the Cabinet Secretary has had representations from many people to say that this is a vast exercise given the breadth of the consultation that is going on and the number of issues that are often very disparate. She has been very...
Suzy Davies: Thank you for that answer. It sounds like work is still ongoing. I have to say, you told me shortly before recess, in a question on representations made to me on behalf of Faith in Families in Swansea West, that Swansea’s local Communities First delivery board had, and I quote, ‘detailed transition plans to make sure that locally supported projects didn’t lose out.’ I’ve now been...
Nick Ramsay: ...had some serious problems, and probably should itself be left well alone. But it is quite frankly bizarre that the Welsh Government should be contemplating moving to the Scottish model of patient representation at the very time—the very time—that that model is coming under such heavy criticism north of the border. Many AMs have referred to the description of it as a toothless hamster....
Mark Isherwood: ...as well. It is concerning that he only accepted in principle recommendation 15 that the Welsh Government should establish robust passenger and stakeholder engagement structures, including strong representation from the English regions. In July, I hosted an Assembly event organised by the ESP Group, highlighting the importance of inclusion and well-being in the design and delivery of...
Dawn Bowden: Can you tell us what representations to the UK Westminster Government to improve the funding to the Welsh Government?
Huw Irranca-Davies: .... The Government’s own pilot areas are showing that it is an unmitigated disaster and it is driving young women, but also all people, into poverty. Could I ask the First Minister what further representations he can make to the UK Government? Because the impact in all of our communities is going to be significant.
Vaughan Gething: Thank you for the question. I think it’s a helpful opportunity to clarify the point and the purpose of the board, because the board isn’t going to be a representational board, made up of different interest groups. If we do that, we’ll have different groups fighting and competing with each other, rather than actually having a board with sufficient expertise to actually undertake the...
Janet Finch-Saunders: ...line with the rest of the UK and Europe. In ensuring objectivity with regard to this power, how will the provisions in this Bill draw a clear dividing line between the ombudsman’s commitment to representation and the Welsh Government’s priorities? And how will this Bill ensure greater Welsh Government and public service acceptance of investigatory outcomes? The current model complaint...
Jenny Rathbone: What representations has the Welsh Government made to the UK Government about the roll-out of universal credit across Wales?
Hefin David: 4. What discussions has the Counsel General held regarding increasing diversity in representations to the Supreme Court? (OAQ51152)
Michelle Brown: ...out with a statement that he was going to readjust the tax regime to find more effective ways of taxing these workers. Personally, I think they’re completely ignoring the real problem. So, what representations have you made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to increasing the growth of secure employment, rather than focusing on the tax take?
Mick Antoniw: ..., a considerable knowledge of Welsh law and matters relating to the Welsh language, and fulfils that function, I think, very, very satisfactorily. Of course, you’ll be aware that we have made representations over the years in respect of the need for a permanent Welsh judge on the Supreme Court. By ‘Welsh judge’, I suppose you have to mean a judge who has a commitment to and an...
Ken Skates: ...to legislate for the stand-alone customs, VAT and excise regimes that the UK will need once it leaves the EU, and also detail on the contingency planning in the event of a ‘no deal’. The strong representations we and industry have made in respect of frictionless trade I think have been heard, but how that will work in practice remains unclear, especially in the event of ‘no deal’,...
Nick Ramsay: ...and business cycle and that had to be addressed. But the way that the revaluation was handled and the way that it was communicated to people across Wales did concern us. As I said, I received many representations and, in fact, sadly—I checked on this recently—a couple of the businesses whose owners contacted me have already gone—they’re empty, there are boards in the windows. I...
David Lloyd: ...review down the line about thoracic surgery. We’ve got thoracic surgery in Swansea, we’ve got thoracic surgery in Cardiff. I’ll hold another short debate nearer the time, shall I? I’ve had representations this week that neurosurgery in Cardiff—which, as you know, we’ve lost from Swansea—is under pressure. You need neurosurgery for a functioning major trauma centre, yet I’ve...
Carl Sargeant: ...This will result in the ability to lend long term, which is something that I’m sure RSLs will keep a very good eye on as a business risk to their association. Finally, regarding local authority representation, there was certainly local authority representation on there. This is, as we move forward, a discussion that we’ll have in terms of how we make sure that the balance is right...
David Rees: Cabinet Secretary, I have received many representations from constituents regarding this matter in particular, and I think, as you’ve pointed out, there is resolution that needs to come together between the two groups. Now, you’ve just mentioned fishing tourism, but many of our citizens actually enjoy fishing as a pastime, and therefore enjoy the activities they undertake, not as tourist...
Russell George: ...the information reported says that Powys County Council have talked to the police. It doesn’t say that the police are investigating any issue. Can I ask you, Minister, if you would formally make representations to the county council—I shall certainly do it myself as a local Assembly Member, but formally, yourself, as a Minister—to ask the county council what exactly they’re talking...
Paul Davies: ...learning difficulties using the public transport network is by simply increasing understanding and tolerance of the challenges that face young people with learning difficulties. I’ve had many representations from groups such as Pembrokeshire People First, and I should declare an interest as their president. Groups like Pembrokeshire People First continue to advocate policies to make...
