3. Statement by the Minister for Economy: The Free-port Programme in Wales (28 Mar 2023)

Carolyn Thomas: Thank you for clarifying for Conservative Members that it was the Welsh Labour Government who worked hard to ensure we received parity of seed funding with England of £26 million—not the £8 million previously offered—as well as protection for workers' rights and environmental protections. I say this because these made-in-Wales conditions are the reason I also finally agreed to support...

Carolyn Thomas: 7. What assessment has the Counsel General made of the legal protections that the people of Wales may lose as a result of the UK Government’s Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill? OQ59338

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (29 Mar 2023)

Carolyn Thomas: Thank you for that answer, Counsel General.

The future is also bleak under Rishi Sunak as there was nothing for public services in the spring budget. As the...

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local government funding (29 Mar 2023)

Carolyn Thomas: No, I'll carry on. We heard this morning in committee that service providers fear we could be about to enter another period of dire austerity. As a council, we organised and restructured, making nearly £100 million-worth of savings over those 10 years. We went from six depots to one, rationalising staff by nearly 40 per cent, year after year salami slicing departments by 30 per cent. When we...

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local government funding (29 Mar 2023)

Carolyn Thomas: I'm not taking them—I'm just carrying on. I've got a lot to say here, okay.

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local government funding (29 Mar 2023)

Carolyn Thomas: Other authorities have cut officers and services rather than raise council tax, meaning they now have a shortage of officers to deliver core services, such as planning or social healthcare, and technical highway officers to apply for Welsh Government grant funding for active travel. More pressure is put on councils now due to the way replacement EU funding bids have to be made by local...
