Statement by the Presiding Officer ( 5 Dec 2018)

Elin Jones: ...Youth Parliament team at the Assembly. We are very much indebted to everyone who ensured that this project has come to fruition. Over 450 young candidates, almost 25,000 registered to vote, with representation the length and breadth of Wales—the statistics speak volumes about their success.

2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services: Support for Rural Councils ( 5 Dec 2018)

Alun Davies: ...from the Member for Llanelli she pitted rural against urban. In the past, we have pitted north against south, east against west. I do regret this tendency within our debate, because it does not reflect either the debates that we have with local government, and I do not believe it reflects the reality either. I will say to the Member that the finance sub-group, which provides...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The National Grid (11 Dec 2018)

Carwyn Jones: ...Grid on a number of issues, including the proposed north Wales connection project, which is currently going through the development consent Order process. The Welsh Government has submitted its representations to this process.

1. Questions to the First Minister: The Development of Cardiff Airport (11 Dec 2018)

Jane Hutt: ..., as he has, the latest passenger figures, which show that during the last financial year, total passenger numbers grew year on year by 9 per cent to reach 1.48 million. And also, just to follow up representations that I know you have made consistently, First Minister, to the UK Government regarding devolving air passenger duty—of course, there is cross-party support here for that—it's...

3. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (11 Dec 2018)

Hannah Blythyn: ...our international obligations in respect of an environmental impact assessment. So, officials are currently giving careful consideration to compliance with the EIA directive, taking into account representations from the Member himself and other Members, the developer, and, of course, the Docks Incinerator Action Group.

4. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (11 Dec 2018)

Julie James: We've been making representations to that effect, and that's a very good example of one of the benefits that the European Union brings—the other one, of course, is roaming right across Europe, which doesn't necessarily happen after Brexit. So, very much as part of our preparedness for it, we are lobbying the UK Government and actually having negotiations with Europe itself about how best to...

4. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: Disabled People (11 Dec 2018)

Caroline Jones: Leader of the house, I have received representations from constituents expressing dismay about their inability to travel on public transport with friends, because they all need wheelchair spaces. And, if you're lucky, most public transport has one or two spots for wheelchairs. Most of us take for granted the ability to travel together, yet disabled people in Wales are being denied that right....

1. Questions to the First Minister: Sustaining Rural Communities ( 8 Jan 2019)

Mark Drakeford: ...of Wales in the Brexit context. I know that he has seen 'Brexit and our land', and very many people have responded to that policy. The Minister Lesley Griffiths at this point is reviewing all the representations made and she will publish a report on people's comments on 'Brexit and our land' in the spring.  For the first time this afternoon, Llywydd, I will have to say that I am not...

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 8 Jan 2019)

Rebecca Evans: ...on Christmas Day, I was in contact with the First Minister, expressing my concerns as a constituency Member on Christmas Eve, and I know that many Members of the Assembly have been making representations very strongly to the Home Office on a number of issues. The fact that Otis is very much a valued member of the community in Swansea—he's a volunteer, he's very active in his local...

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 8 Jan 2019)

Leanne Wood: ...too strong even for RNLI boats to be launched into. Apart from wanting to publicise the petition calling for positive action with regard to this case—and I'm aware, of course, that immigration is not devolved—I'd like to know the extent to which the Welsh Government can make representations to Westminster on these matters. Will you be prepared to work with charities that assist...

4. Statement by the Minister for Education: Introduction of Personalised Assessments ( 8 Jan 2019)

Kirsty Williams: ...of the teachers who can decide what is best for them and their learners, and also in the numbers that work best for the school too—pupils can be assessed individually or in small groups. We have not designed these assessments in isolation. We have learned from the best with an expert group, including representation from Denmark and the Netherlands, providing advice throughout. This has...

9. Short Debate: The white heat of technology? ( 9 Jan 2019)

Mohammad Asghar: Undoubtedly, we live in a world where most of us cannot even function without our phones, tablets, laptops or PCs. I will admit I am not the most IT-savvy person on the planet, but I do know that the world is progressing at such a rapid speed and pace that we all here in Wales must keep up with it. Are we really doing it? You may remember that one of the arguments put forward in favour of...

2. Questions to the First Minister: Questions Without Notice from the Party Leaders (15 Jan 2019)

Adam Price: ...UK Government has benefited from £8 billion from this surplus, at a rate of £1 million a day. Steffan was a champion of the cause of mineworkers, supporting their petition and making countless representations to the UK Government. The Minister of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said in July last year that she would explore options for the future of the scheme, with...

7. Debate: The Local Government Settlement 2019-20 (15 Jan 2019)

Julie James: ...£23.6 million as a result of the Welsh Government's final budget allocations. This includes £13 million to support local services overall, recognising the responses to the consultation and the representations made by Assembly Members; £1.2 million to provide an improved settlement floor; £7 million a year recurrently to support the increase to the capital limit in charging for...

6. Debate on the General Principles of the Autism (Wales) Bill (16 Jan 2019)

Helen Mary Jones: ...said is that it is a matter of debate, and I have her response here in front of me. It is a matter of debate as to whether legislation is required. I fully acknowledge that you're accurate in your representation of the other bodies you mentioned, but I think you should revise what you've said about the children's commissioner, because that is not correct.

6. Debate on the General Principles of the Autism (Wales) Bill (16 Jan 2019)

Michelle Brown: I'd like to thank Paul Davies for introducing this Bill. I'm in complete support of this Bill and agree with everything that's been said so far in support of it, so I'll try not to repeat the points already made.  But, turning to one of the representations that we've had against the Bill, I'm sure that everyone here has received the e-mail about the Bill, authored by a number of clinicians...

10. Short Debate: A Contract for Better Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace (16 Jan 2019)

Vaughan Gething: ...know that, even with those positive effects, sometimes we find ourselves under pressure or working with others who are under pressure for reasons in their work or their personal lives. I know this not just from my time here but my time before this place when I was an employment lawyer and much of the disability discrimination that I dealt with in terms of giving advice and representation...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (22 Jan 2019)

Rebecca Evans: Thank you very much for bringing this issue to our attention, and I also received those representations from the Craig-cefn-parc pensioners' association, which has benefited over a number of years from funding to enable them to hire transport to take members of the group out on day trips and so forth. And I know through correspondence with the Big Lottery Fund that they are receiving some...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (22 Jan 2019)

Joyce Watson: ...about naming parts of the scheme, for example, bridges, et cetera, as a way of marketing Newtown more widely. So, it would be really good to hear more about that and maybe to invite cross-party representation so they actually do see that we do have a plan for investing in all parts of Wales, including this massive investment in mid Wales.

10. Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: The Impact of a 'No Deal' Brexit on our Health and Care Services (22 Jan 2019)

Helen Mary Jones: With regard to the issue of radioisotopes, this is actually, as he says, a serious potential risk. Not that anyone is going to voluntarily not wish to sell them to the Welsh NHS anymore, but there are, as he rightly highlights, practical issues—which can be overcome, though with considerable expense—and of course there are the legal issues. Now, Professor Wyn Owen has warned us that there...
