Paul Davies: Formally.
Paul Davies: First Minister, according to the language use survey 2013-15 that was commissioned by your last Government, it was demonstrated that only about 50 per cent of people in Pembrokeshire thought that businesses were supportive of the language. Given this figure, what does your Government intend to do to ensure that businesses are given greater support to promote the Welsh language?
Paul Davies: Leader of the house, I’d be grateful if you could please ask the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs to bring forward a statement clarifying the Welsh Government’s new approach to dealing with bovine TB. As has already been said in this Chamber today, recently published official Government statistics show that there has been a huge year-on-year increase of 78 per cent in...
Paul Davies: 4. Will the Minister outline the Welsh Government’s policies for the future of health services in Pembrokeshire? OAQ(5)0004(HWS)
Paul Davies: Of course, it’s absolutely essential that appropriate emergency health services are actually based in Pembrokeshire in the future. You will be aware, Cabinet Secretary, that I’ve been re-elected with a strong mandate in Preseli Pembrokeshire by standing on a platform to reintroduce full-time paediatric services and the special care baby unit at Withybush hospital. Given the clear public...

Paul Davies: What is the Welsh Government doing to improve the economy of Pembrokeshire?
Paul Davies: First Minister, according to the survey, it is a cause of great concern that staff in NRW feel that they don’t have access to learning and personal development opportunities when they need them.

I look forward to working with her constructively wherever I can to help make our rural communities more prosperous and sustainable in the future. Like the Member for Mid and West Wales, I too probably make a significant contribution to this...
Paul Davies: The Cabinet Secretary will be aware that £3.7 million has been spent since 2011 vaccinating badgers in the intensive action area in my constituency, and clearly the vaccination policy has failed. Now, the latest scientific report shows an increase of 78 per cent in the number of cattle slaughtered in Pembrokeshire due to bovine TB. Given the increase in cattle slaughtered in my area, can the...
Paul Davies: Cabinet Secretary, the previous Welsh Government’s decision to move to the 15 per cent modulation rate has made it much tougher for some Welsh farmers to compete in the marketplace against food producers from other countries. Given these circumstances, what is the Welsh Government doing specifically to ensure that farmers get the opportunity to directly access these funds under the rural...

Paul Davies: 1. What is the Welsh Government doing to support farmers in Pembrokeshire? OAQ(5)0088(FM)
Paul Davies: First Minister, the decision to exit the European Union is going to have a major impact on the agricultural industry, and it’s important that Governments at all levels work together to support our farmers in the future. But there is huge concern among farmers in Pembrokeshire at present about the possibility of introducing a nitrate-vulnerable zone. Because of the decision taken by the...
