2. Business Statement and Announcement (26 Apr 2022)

Darren Millar: Thank you, Trefnydd, for your statement. Can I call for two statements from the Minister for Health and Social Services please?

Darren Millar: I know. I just wanted to say how pleased I am to hear that you're going to do just that. Obviously, I've been disappointed that there's been resistance to taking on board the UN principles for older persons in recent years, and I do hope that your piece of legislation will encompass the rights-of-older-people legislation within it. Can you confirm that that will be the case? It's something...

6. Debate: Human Rights ( 3 May 2022)

Darren Millar: Thank you for that. I've read the UK Government's consultation document on its reform of human rights and its need to modernise the human rights legislation here in the UK. I can't see anything that is going to strip rights away from people. We're going to remain a signatory of the UN convention on human rights, and it seems to me perfectly sensible to have a conversation with people to try...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local Communities ( 4 May 2022)

Darren Millar: Well, if he wants to talk about prospects for people, then we need to sort out our education system in Wales, which your Government is responsible for, and is the worst, unfortunately, in the United Kingdom. In terms of what the United Kingdom is doing to help people at the current time with the cost-of-living situation in our country, we know that the national living wage has risen to a...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local Communities ( 4 May 2022)

Darren Millar: Of course, that wasn't the only thing that the UK Government did to support people with the cost-of-living situation. They also gave a £150 council tax discount to homes, albeit in England. You got a consequential. You could go 20 per cent further than that here in Wales because, of course, for every £1 that is spent on a devolved service in England, Wales has £1.20 to spend here. Why...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local Communities ( 4 May 2022)

Darren Millar: I'm so sorry to make another intervention so soon, but I'd like say something about the community facilities programme. Can I commend the Welsh Government for that programme?
