Did you mean representations -taxation?
Jeremy Miles: ...Passmore’s reference to my constituent Max Boyce. I’m sure he will have heard those comments very pleasingly. This brings us back to the question of not just variety and value for money but representation and the points of reference of Welsh culture and how our perspective is represented, I guess, on television. Russell George spoke of the importance of television reflecting the...
Jane Hutt: Thank you very much, Vikki Howells. And again, the representation across all constituencies—yours in the Cynon Valley—of volunteers running these projects, instigating these projects, and I want to put on record again my sincere thanks to all of the volunteers who are responding, helping to support their communities. Also, just to confirm, this goes back to our £1 million warm hubs...
Mr Simon Thomas: ...is something that we ought now to genuinely consider along with changes to the national curriculum. Thirdly, we have to ensure that whatever we do is commensurate with or proportional to the representation that we have in the Assembly already or improves on that proportionality. And it's important to Plaid Cymru that we strike the right balance between local accountability and the fact...
Vaughan Gething: ...kind is discussed with the public, rather than simply being presented to the public about what must now happen. That is a good point that is well made, and I understand you’ll be taking direct representations to the health board in the coming days. But here in this Government, we are committed to delivering an NHS workforce that continues to provide high-quality care, and on the medical...
Jeremy Miles: ...close commuting distance, then the distribution of habitation may change, and that may also pose pressures in the future on broadband distribution. So, there are quite big challenges there. On the representation of business, in a sense, there were 21 people, I think, over three sessions, so, actually, everyone is lightly represented, I think, in that context. We had a couple of...
Mick Antoniw: ...that UKIP has presented. Can I also say that, in respect of children—that, in many ways, is one of the most upsetting and distressing parts of this whole scenario? I, like Members, have had representations made by EU citizens who actually describe their family situation, their family circumstances. I had one in particular who was worried that he might have to leave, leaving his teenage...
Mark Isherwood: ...boards, regarding integrated health and social care support, they replied: 'What we're hearing back from some of the regional organisations is that the level of involvement of older people representation isn't as good as they would like it to be, and through the development of regional partnership boards we'd like to see more meaningful engagement of more older people, and their...
Jane Hutt: ..., because I think this is something where we are taking responsibility. But we, very fortunately, have got a faith communities forum here in Wales, and it's good that today, this morning, we had representation from not just Muslims—we had Sikh, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Bahá’í, Catholic Church, Church in Wales, Churches Together; we had everyone around the table, chaired by the First...
Rhianon Passmore: ..., Deputy Minister, what does the Welsh Government intend to do to assess our current ability in Wales to diagnose people with problem gambling, refer them to appropriate pathways for help, and what representations can the Welsh Government make to the UK Government on a much-speculated White Paper on the future of gambling in the United Kingdom?
Hefin David: Yes, I absolutely agree with that, and the Member for Cardiff North seems to have had very similar representations to those that I’ve had. Therefore, if we are to vote with the Government today, I’d suggest that we ask the Minister to provide some assurances in her response that these issues are going to be addressed and closely monitored, and that the need for future legislation...
Jeremy Miles: ...justice argument. It's incumbent on governments and legislatures to make the law accessible in the lives of citizens, in particular at a time when they find it harder and harder to access legal representation, as we know. He referred to a number of recommendations. Just to address a few points in relation to recommendation 4, there will be a programme of work around accessibility more...
Kirsty Williams: ...in their own right in rural communities, then such centres are able to look to support from the economic resilience fund that the Welsh Government has made available. But I will certainly make the representations that you have asked for this afternoon, and I will write back to the Member.
Jane Hutt: ...decisions not to add age as a protected characteristic in hate crime laws, and include also people who are homeless, sex workers or alternative sub-cultures. So, we realise we've got to make our representations to the UK Government, but I'd like to assure Sarah Murphy that we are working very closely with non-devolved partners in police, as is Bridgend council, and thank the local...
Jane Hutt: ...by the Welsh Government, but by other Assembly Members and their constituents. And, again, it is important and timely that you raise this, for us to re-examine where we are on this in terms of our representations, and also with an impending announcement. On your second point, in terms of Michael Gove, one can question, with the way things are going at the moment, under whose authority, and...
John Griffiths: ...' understanding that they too could represent Newport on the city council. It encouraged them to get involved in front-line politics in different parties, and it's so good to see the diversity of representation that we have on Newport City Council today. I know many of them would recognise the debt of gratitude that they owe to Oscar in those terms. Of course, as an Assembly Member and a...
Carwyn Jones: ..., but there are people who need those services, and we must find a way of working with the Post Office to make sure that those services are available to those people who need them. We’ve made representations over the years to the Post Office, and indeed to the banks—I’ve done it personally—to make sure that, where banks decide they no longer want to be in a community, the post...
Jeremy Miles: ...right to say that this accommodation is inappropriate for the purpose to which it's being put. That is the position of the Welsh Government and we've obviously acted on that basis and made representations in that way to the UK Government. As I mentioned to her, in relation to the underpinning legal infrastructure and framework around the decision that's been taken by the UK Government,...
Peredur Owen Griffiths: ...2020, but this decision was challenged at the High Court, which subsequently quashed the Government's decision. The recent letter was giving notice to Persimmon that the Deputy Minister is inviting representations on whether the inquiry should be reopened. Not only would I like this inquiry reopened, but I'd like the Government to review the current planning process with a view to...
Angela Burns: ...brought into the mix at the same time? Of course, it's not just women; there are a lot of ethnic minority groups that have particular health inequalities. Will you be listening very closely to the representations being made by the likes of the Royal College of Physicians to try to ensure that we don't allow this pandemic to broaden those health inequalities that we already have here in Wales?
David Melding: ...before abolition comes into effect. Other respondents, including Shelter Cymru, stressed that more consideration should be given to this issue of equity. The Welsh Government has conceded that representations have been received from individual tenants, and I know we all can appreciate that because we've received many responses as well from concerned constituents. Indeed, the Cabinet...
