David Melding: I do apologise to Members and to you, Dirprwy Lywydd, that it's time for me to get angry again, but perhaps I should try a slightly different approach and one of sadness rather than anger. I will be speaking against these amendments, apart from 82, which is a technical one, because, as I rehearsed with the issue of extending the franchise to foreign citizens, this whole area was replete with...

David Melding: My only amendments in this group are amendments 25 and 31 and they would, if adopted, reverse the Welsh Government's amendment at Stage 2, which disqualifies councillors from being returned as Members of the Assembly. I think it's very important that we only restrict democratic rights the bare minimum, and I think there's a clear reason to say people should not serve in more than one...

Group 6: Disqualification (Amendments 88, 25, 89, 90, 91, 92, 98, 99, 73, 31, 74, 75, 76, 93, 94, 65) (13 Nov 2019)

David Melding: Well, I'm not sure that's a profound argument based on principle. I think that it's a practical argument, and it's one that you would probably make quite successfully with much of the electorate, but that's where it should rest. If you had executive responsibility in local government, I think it would be very difficult—[Interruption.] It would be very difficult to serve here. But I think...

Group 6: Disqualification (Amendments 88, 25, 89, 90, 91, 92, 98, 99, 73, 31, 74, 75, 76, 93, 94, 65) (13 Nov 2019)

David Melding: Well, I do think that the Member makes a good point in that many of us have additional responsibilities that we take on, which come with very considerable time commitments. And we do that as part of service that enriches our vocation here. I am a longstanding member of two governing bodies of special schools, for instance. So, I think the point is that we have got to be careful about using...

Advanced search

Find this exact word or phrase

You can also do this from the main search box by putting exact words in quotes: like "cycling" or "hutton report"

By default, we show words related to your search term, like “cycle” and “cycles” in a search for cycling. Putting the word in quotes, like "cycling", will stop this.

Excluding these words

You can also do this from the main search box by putting a minus sign before words you don’t want: like hunting -fox

We also support a bunch of boolean search modifiers, like AND and NEAR, for precise searching.

Date range

to

You can give a start date, an end date, or both to restrict results to a particular date range. A missing end date implies the current date, and a missing start date implies the oldest date we have in the system. Dates can be entered in any format you wish, e.g. 3rd March 2007 or 17/10/1989

Person

Enter a name here to restrict results to contributions only by that person.

Section

Restrict results to a particular parliament or assembly that we cover (e.g. the Scottish Parliament), or a particular type of data within an institution, such as Commons Written Answers.

Column

If you know the actual Hansard column number of the information you are interested in (perhaps you’re looking up a paper reference), you can restrict results to that; you can also use column:123 in the main search box.
