Personal Statement (12 Feb 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Llywydd. 'All I have, I would have given gladly not to be standing here today.' Not my words, but those of President Johnson to Congress when he had taken over from that other statesman, Kennedy. 'All I have'—I do not quote these words out of a lack of gratitude in coming to this seat, nor indeed from a lack of determination to do the best I can, but rather I quote them in a sense...

Personal Statement (12 Feb 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Wales is in mourning. Gwent is in mourning, for what Gerallt described as 'Y gwrol un a gâr wlad', in reference to that other man on the horizon—Saunders. The sheer scale of this loss is difficult to put into words. Steffan was so proud that he was from south-east Wales, the area of Dic Penderyn, S.O. Davies, Phil Williams. Now, Steffan stands shoulder to shoulder with those giants, and we...

Personal Statement (12 Feb 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I've spoken about giants and I think it's fitting because this place has always seemed like a place of magic to me. Things come into being here that didn't exist before—yes, laws, but also ideas, alliances. It's long been a dream of mine to be here, not ever in these circumstances, but a dream all the same. Yeats taught me that in dreams begin responsibilities. I have a responsibility to...

5. Debate on the 'Wales' future relationship with the Committee of the Regions' Report (20 Feb 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I've also just come back from a hugely interesting and thought-provoking visit with the EAAL committee to Brussels and, as has been said, we had the privilege of meeting the president of the Committee of the Regions there, as well as the fantastic Mairead Mcguinness, MEPs and ambassadors. In many of these meetings, we were given a bleak impression of the loss of influence that the UK and,...

3. Business Statement and Announcement ( 5 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I was very pleased today to meet representatives from the miners' pension campaign. I know that many of you will know that they've been campaigning for many years because the UK Government has been taking half of their pension surplus from the fund, which they've been doing since 1994. Billions of pounds that should have gone to the miners has instead been pocketed by the Treasury, and that's...

9. Debate on NNDM6985 — EU Withdrawal Negotiations ( 5 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: We are now 24 days away from leaving the European Union and we are as far as ever from securing a solution in terms of the way forward from this point. As Adam Price has already said, there is nothing in this motion that we disagree with, but it's a cause of disappointment that the commitment to a people's vote seems to have been dropped by the Labour Party. That's why Plaid Cymru has tabled...

9. Debate on NNDM6985 — EU Withdrawal Negotiations ( 5 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: It is the only way out of this paradoxical impasse whereby we keep hurtling forwards yet make no progress. If we don't have progress on this matter, and soon, it will have been a missed opportunity. 'A missed opportunity'. We use that phrase a lot. So often, in fact, that I think we've lost sight of what it actually means, its sense of urgency, of loss. Over the past two and a half years,...

QNR: Questions to the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language ( 6 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: What representations has the Welsh Government made to the European Court of Human Rights in relation to the treatment of Abdullah Öcalan by the Turkish Government?

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 6 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Thank you, Llywydd. I’m sure that supporters the length and breadth of the nation have been following developments in the world of rugby in Wales this week with a mixture of confusion, excitement, hope and fear. Residents of north Wales will be delighted there’s a possibility they will receive a professional region at last, which would mean that rugby would be entirely professional on a...

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 6 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I thank the Deputy Minister for his response. I’d like to now turn to broadcasting. Last week, we heard that Welsh morning broadcasts on the Heart and Capital networks will be brought to an end, with British broadcasts provided in their place. Clearly, many people were extremely disappointed with this announcement. The reason that the parent company, Global, has been able to scrap these...

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 6 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I thank the Deputy Minister for his response again, but it appears to me that this is a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, if you forgive me for using that idiom. The truth is that the only way of ensuring that the benefits and interests of Welsh audiences and the Welsh creative sector are safeguarded is the devolution of broadcasting to Wales. Devolution of...

7. Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade Bill (12 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Plaid Cymru will be voting against allowing legislative consent for the Trade Bill today. Before I outline our reasons for this decision, I'd like to say that members of the public listening to this debate might well be forgiven for thinking its subject matter is quite abstract. Talk of LCMs, Standing Orders and conventions may seem like they're not accessible, but these principles and...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Pneumoconiosis (13 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: 6. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of diagnostic tools being used to assess miners for signs of pneumoconiosis? OAQ53554

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Pneumoconiosis (13 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I thank the Minister for his answer. My office has been contacted by a former coal miner, who has raised concerns that cases of pneumoconiosis may be going undetected due to outdated diagnostic procedures, and that pneumoconiosis can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms that are associated with it, like coughing and shortness of breath, can be indicative of a wide range of illnesses....

5. Statement by the Chair of the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee: The effect of Brexit on the arts, creative industries, heritage and the Welsh language (13 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: I'd agree wholeheartedly with what my colleague Bethan Sayed has said. Bethan and Members on all sides have spoken about the disastrous impact that Brexit could have on arts, culture and heritage. I'd like to look at this from the opposite perspective, which is the way in which a lack of investment and attention given to arts has led in part to Brexit. In particular, I'd like to consider the...

5. Statement by the Chair of the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee: The effect of Brexit on the arts, creative industries, heritage and the Welsh language (13 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Because of that, Plaid Cymru believes strongly that it’s crucial that Wales remains within the Erasmus+ programme, whatever happens in future in terms of our relations with the European Union. When Professor Claire Gorrara from Cardiff University provided evidence to the committee on this issue, before I joined the committee, she said that she would describe this programme as one that is at...

5. Statement by the Chair of the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee: The effect of Brexit on the arts, creative industries, heritage and the Welsh language (13 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Bethan noted that Brexit would create the biggest financial shock of our lifetimes to arts and heritage, and I agree with that reading, and to compound that financial impact, our young people and our children will grow up without the same opportunities available to them as others have had, and that's a more fundamental shock to our very soul as a nation. It concerns me profoundly, this is...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister (in respect of his Brexit Minister responsibilities): Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (20 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Minister, do you personally believe that the health Minister was right in calling for the second vote?

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister (in respect of his Brexit Minister responsibilities): Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (20 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Minister, we on the Plaid Cymru benches applaud Mr Gething for his bravery, and for being willing to put his job on the line, in order to stand up for what's best for Wales, and for the whole of the UK. Of course, in order for a referendum to be held, or indeed for the First Minister's position of a deal to be done, we will need to extend article 50. Will the Minister tell us how long the...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister (in respect of his Brexit Minister responsibilities): Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (20 Mar 2019)

Delyth Jewell: Minister, I must say I am at a bit of a loss as to why Welsh Labour contests Assembly elections if the party has no desire to form a coherent policy on the great matter of the day when they're in Government. You'll know that the EU has said it's only willing to grant an extension to article 50 if the purpose for doing so is abundantly clear, and that requires a timescale that makes sense....
