1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Wales’s Relationship with the European Union</p> (17 Jan 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: Whilst I’m pleased to hear that the First Minister has spoken to the UK Prime Minister this morning, I’m not surprised that he didn’t get much light on these matters. But having understood what she said in that speech, does she understand that it wouldn’t be appropriate for her, as the UK Prime Minister, to try to negotiate along with the rest of the European Union on issues devolved...

6. 4. Legislative Consent Motion on the Wales Bill (17 Jan 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: The debates here on legislative consent motions are a key part of our constitution and emerge from the practice that also exists in Scotland, through the Sewel convention, as we heard earlier, of ensuring that Westminster is able to legislate on issues where elements are devolved. The case is different in this regard. We are giving Westminster permission to legislate on our own powers,...

3. 3. Statement: Supreme Court Ruling on Article 50 (24 Jan 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: Thank you, Llywydd. May I also thank the Counsel General for his statement this afternoon, which has more than explained to us the constitutional and political importance of all that he has been able to achieve? I would briefly refer to three elements: first of all, that the devolved nations and the devolved Governments have spoken with three voices but almost singing from the same hymn...

6. 4. Statement: The Hazelkorn Review of Welsh Education (31 Jan 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: As one who has been most fortunate to be able to contribute to education and governance across this system for very many years, may I first of all congratulate the Minister on her courage? It is about time that we had a Minister who is willing to get to grips with the differences and inequality that have been part of the post-16 system from the very outset. I’m grateful to her for doing...

8. 6. ‘Securing Wales' Future’: Transition from the European Union to a New Relationship with Europe ( 7 Feb 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: Maybe I can be helpful to him. [Laughter.] My understanding of ‘self-determination’ is exactly that: a group of people recognised as a nation or a community could self-determine to remain in the status quo. On the other hand, self-determination might be something further. So, they’re not synonymous, in my humble opinion.

8. 7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Economic Development ( 8 Feb 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: The First Minister is aware, from his time as Minister for fisheries and agriculture, how crucial the shellfish industry is to the Welsh coastline. But given that the shellfish industry was never part of the common fisheries policy or the common agricultural policy, isn’t it reasonable, therefore, that it could be expected that that industry could continue to sell into the European...

5. 5. Statement: The Future of Local Bus Services (28 Feb 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: May I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement today? I believe that this is the most comprehensive statement that I’ve ever heard on bus services in any parliament in the UK: let’s start there. I am so pleased that we are putting the bus at the heart of our public transport system, where it should be. May I also thank him for the invitation to participate in the summit in Wrexham? I...

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>The Scottish First Minister</p> (14 Mar 2017)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: I’m very grateful for that response, and I’m sure that the First Minister will have had an interesting conversation, as always, with the Scottish First Minister. Because there is so much in common, leader of the house, between the Scottish Government’s White Paper, ‘Scotland’s Place in Europe’, published before Christmas, and the red paper of Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government,...
