Paul Davies: ..., Infrastructure and Skills Committee last month made it clear that the sector simply needed to know where it was going, and with some clarity pretty quickly. Members, that need for clarity cannot be emphasised enough. For most public transport providers, levels of service have decreased substantially overnight, resulting in some serious workforce planning and a need to overhaul and...
Adam Price: ...to the renting homes Act—the content rows back on the commitments that you and your party made in the case of no-fault erections, for example, where you amend the legislation to extend the notice period from two months to six months, rather than abolish the practice entirely. This will not give the assurances that those people who rent homes would need. Over the period of this Senedd,...
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...by 14 per cent, and this is raising the worry that it's actually that victims are being pushed further out of sight and away from seeking help. So, can I ask our Welsh Government to make formal representations to UK Ministers, to first of all give the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority the resources to do their job, as they are at full stretch already, and also to urge UK Ministers to...
Rhianon Passmore: ...I very much welcome today's statement by the Welsh Counsel General and Minister for European Transition. The people of Wales now, more than ever, will need the full functional responsibility and representation of the Welsh Labour Government to argue for our future in the face of continued UK Tory negligence and incompetence. Will the Counsel General reaffirm to my constituents in Islwyn...
Rhianon Passmore: The bonus of the UK Government being able to top-slice our income in Wales is not on. Counsel General, what representations and actions can the Welsh Government take, working with colleagues in Westminster, to combat this serious attack on Wales and Britain's good name? And what priority is being given to the proposed erosion of Welsh powers contained within this Bill?
Hannah Blythyn: ...the way in which it was delivered. Although these changes were welcome, other potentially more critical interventions were met with what I can say is intransigence. And this is despite the repeated representations, not just of politicians and of this Welsh Government and the First Minister, but non-governmental organisations, citizens and stakeholders from across the country. The...
Janet Finch-Saunders: 5. What legal representation has the Counsel General made on behalf of the Welsh Government in relation to the announcement by the European Union that it would make it illegal for animal products to be sold from Great Britain to Northern Ireland and the EU? OQ55547
Helen Mary Jones: ...agree with me that it now seems likely that the solution to this will come from political decisions rather than from any legal ruling. Would this be a timely moment for the Welsh Government to make representations once again to the UK Government on behalf of the women of Wales so affected? It seems to me that, in the aftermath of the COVID crisis, this is particularly pertinent. We of...
Jeremy Miles: ...have corresponded consistently with the UK Government, as the Member knows. I think, unfortunately, our most recent letter hasn't even had a reply unfortunately. But, we will continue to make those representations so that the UK Government engage with these women, not in the courts, but in seeking a just resolution to what is and has been for some time, a great injustice.
Jeremy Miles: The Welsh Government continues to make representations to the UK Government on the justice system in Wales, including the accessibility of legal support for residents in all parts of Wales and in all areas of law.
Leanne Wood: ...from the first lockdown. Some people can work from home, some people are self-employed, some people are entitled to sick pay or statutory sick pay, and others can get nothing at all. Now, I've made representations to Westminster about this with no joy. We have to make it easy for people to abide by the rules. Now, given that we can't rely on Westminster, can we hear from the Welsh...
Vaughan Gething: ...fundamental if we're to improve the quality of our services across health and care, and, of course, that includes the neurological conditions implementation group. They have always had service user representation from its inception. The implementation group has also extended funding to the Wales Neurological Alliance, so that their project manager can develop a network of service users...
Motion NDM7398 Rebecca Evans To propose that the Senedd, in accordance with Standing Order 27.5: 1. Approves that the draft The Representation of the People (Electoral Register Publication Date) (Wales) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020 are made in accordance with the draft laid in the Table Office on 14 July 2020.
Leanne Wood: ...due to COVID-19, but I know this isn't the case with all refusals. In one instance, one company told a customer that advice from the Welsh Government is irrelevant and they only accept advice not to travel from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Now, I hope your Government will agree with me that Welsh-imposed restrictions shouldn't be considered any less than Westminster-imposed ones....
12. The Representation of the People (Electoral Register Publication Date) (Wales) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020
Elin Jones: We will recommence with item 12 on our agenda, the Representation of the People (Electoral Register Publication Date) (Wales) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020. I call on the Minister for Housing and Local Government to move the motion. The Minister—Julie James.
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...at the earliest opportunity, and that new or revised proposals would be subject to public consultation. So, could I ask, Minister, would that consultation also take into account any further representations by the Children's Commissioner for Wales or by child and safeguarding organisations on how these proposals—recognising they're primarily focused on educational support—can also...
Angela Burns: ...views that uncertainty existed around whether Natural Resources Wales complied with principles of public law and state-aid rules. What makes these findings worse is that the lessons were not learnt, because 18 months later the Public Accounts Committee repeated its criticism. They found that there were a number of concerning issues around the awarding of these timber contracts that were...
Mark Drakeford: Llywydd, I thank Laura Anne Jones for that question, which is a proper and serious question that I know my colleague Ken Skates is thinking about and will have heard the representations from Monmouthshire. When I last spoke with Peter Fox, the Conservative leader of Monmouthshire, he was clear that local lockdown restrictions were not yet required in that county, and I hope that we will be...
Hannah Blythyn: ...conscious of the pressures on industry as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic. It would therefore have been difficult for stakeholders to engage with and respond to a full consultation, and representations were received from industry that a consultation would not be welcome at this time. The bulk of the measures are also relatively small, technical changes, and implementing...
