Neil McEvoy: Thanks, Llywydd. Diolch, Llywydd. Very shocking news yesterday—I don't think we can fail to be moved by the contributions. I'd like to wish Oscar's family, friends, his staff and Conservative colleagues condolences from everybody in the Welsh National Party. Oscar—I'll smile now, because he always made me smile—I first met him before 2007; 2004 I think it was. We did a lot of work...

Neil McEvoy: Diolch, Llywydd. A million speakers by 2050: so, how do we do it? The only way is radical and transformational investment in the Welsh language.

The common issue is that the reports that are put before courts to enable children to be taken into care are inaccurate, time after time after time. I've seen the inaccuracies; they're not picked...
Neil McEvoy: 5. Will the Minister make a statement on class sizes in schools in Wales? OQ55411
Neil McEvoy: Thanks, Minister. Crises bring opportunities and the most unfortunate circumstances can bring really positive change. The blended learning approach really is not going to work come the autumn, children are falling behind, not everybody is online and there is the issue of parents working.
