Carwyn Jones: Thank you very much. Llywydd, you'll be very glad to know that I don't intend to try your patience this week with a very long question, if that, indeed, is what it was last week, so I'll be short. But just, very quickly, I'd like to remind the leader of the Brexit Party that, far from the British Prime Minister being stripped of powers, the people of Wales decided in 1997 and 2011 in...
Carwyn Jones: First of all, First Minister, will you join with me in issuing a note of caution to those people tempted to cut their own hair during the course of coronavirus, as I am an example of that? I'd just explain that to Members. But two serious points: first of all, tennis. I've been asked why tennis is not yet permitted. And, secondly, I have, within 5 miles of my constituency, no fewer than...
Carwyn Jones: Can I say, first of all, I don't oppose the idea of an inquiry? I think it's inevitable. There will be questions that will need to be asked, some questions that will need to be answered. I think that's true of all the Governments within the UK. So, I've no objection to the thrust of the motion, but I do question very much that this is not the way to do it. First of all, as far as I'm aware,...
Carwyn Jones: Against, Llywydd.
Carwyn Jones: Against.
Carwyn Jones: In favour.
Carwyn Jones: Against.
Carwyn Jones: Against.
Carwyn Jones: Against.
Carwyn Jones: Against.
Carwyn Jones: In favour.
Carwyn Jones: Will the First Minister outline what financial help has been given by the Welsh Government to businesses in Bridgend since the Covid-19 outbreak?
Carwyn Jones: 2. Will the First Minister make a statement following reports that Ineos is reconsidering its decision to build a new plant in Bridgend? TQ468
Carwyn Jones: Thank you, Minister. Sorry, Llywydd—are you calling me back?
Carwyn Jones: Thank you for that answer, Minister. This is a great disappointment, of course, to the people of Bridgend—both the town and the surrounding area. Minister, do you agree with me that where businesses make a case for Brexit, there is an extra responsibility on them to invest in the UK and not invest in the single market purely because it may be more convenient? Do you also agree with me that...
Carwyn Jones: I thought I heard 'Caroline Jones'. Forgive me, Llywydd.
Carwyn Jones: 3. Will the First Minister outline what financial support is available from the Welsh Government to businesses in Wales? OQ55469
Carwyn Jones: Thank you, First Minister. Many businesses have contacted my constituency office to express their gratitude at the support that they've received from the Welsh Government and from the UK Government. There are still, however, some businesses who are concerned that they may not be able to access the support that they need, mainly microbusinesses. Would the First Minister then give an assurance...
Carwyn Jones: I listened carefully to the arguments put forward by Neil Hamilton and by Gareth Bennett. I was unconvinced by them, I have to say.
Carwyn Jones: May I first of all turn to what Plaid Cymru have said in their motion today? There is a constitutional convention already, which states that if a party stands on a manifesto commitment in favour of a referendum on independence, then there should be such a referendum. We've seen that in Scotland. So, in a way, we don't need to have this debate today, whatever your view on independence, and I...
