14. Debate: Legislative Consent Motion on the Coronavirus Bill (24 Mar 2020)

Joyce Watson: Minister, I think I speak the same language as everybody here when I say that never, ever, in our wildest imagination would any of us who are sitting here today imagine that we would be here and be asked to press a button that will actually implement quite draconian legislation and visit it upon people in their homes and in their daily lives. That is not what we came here to do. But what we...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (24 Mar 2020)

Joyce Watson: What steps is the Welsh Government taking to address the risk of an increase in domestic violence during the period of isolation due to the coronavirus outbreak?

3. Statement by the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs: Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) ( 8 Apr 2020)

Joyce Watson: I'm not going to repeat all those things that people have asked, except for on footpaths. When you set out the regulation, there was also a 28-day review period. So, I ask the Minister when she is going to make an announcement, having carried out that review, because in two weeks' time that will need to be the case. I do want to ask about how we're going to manage getting the crops in the...

5. Statement by the Minister for Housing and Local Government: Coronavirus (COVID-19) (29 Apr 2020)

Joyce Watson: I want to first of all put my thanks to all those people who've worked and led at local government to help people within their localities. I want to move on, actually, to people who are tenants in the private rented sector. I do want to welcome the action that Welsh Government has taken to ensure that tenants at this point don't face financial hardship, and they're not evicted. But I think we...

3. Statement by the First Minister: Coronavirus (COVID-19) ( 6 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: It has been mentioned several times this morning that we're paying carers—rightly, in my opinion—a £500 payment in recognition of what they do. But what hasn't been mentioned this morning, and it was brought to my attention by a constituent who lives in Montgomeryshire, but works over the border, is that they won't be receiving that. Now, I hope that you will agree to join with me with...

4. Statement by the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales: Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) ( 6 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: Many people have spoken today about the negative impact on tourism across Wales and, of course, my area is where tourism does provide a significant impact, perhaps disproportionately to other areas. We do know that tourism is worth £3 billion to the Welsh economy, but there's £2 billion-worth of funds from the Welsh Government. So, it seems very likely that, when we try to come out of...

6. Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition: Coronavirus (COVID-19) ( 6 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: Diolch, Llywydd. Yes, it's really great that we've got all these roundtables going on. In my opinion, it's fantastic that Gordon Brown, the architect of Sure Start, is involved in that. I'm absolutely delighted to be part of a party that has an ideological wish and drive to deliver social contracts and social partnerships—obviously an anathema to Mark Reckless. But the questions that I have...

5. Statement by the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd: Fiscal implications for Wales of the impact of, and response to, COVID-19 (13 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: Thank you for your report, Minister, but there is definitely fresh thinking that is required by the UK Government because what the leaked report showed was that one of their first ways of thinking was to freeze public sector pay for two years, at the same time, raising income tax across the board, I presume, by 1 per cent. So, we've gone back to exactly the same place that led us into this...

6. Statement by the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs: Coronavirus (COVID-19) (13 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: Diolch, Llywydd. One of the questions I wanted to raise, which I don't believe has been raised so far, was for an update about the job matching scheme that you launched nearly a month ago. You did say at the time—and we all agreed that we were very concerned about the impact COVID-19 was having on the Welsh agricultural and horticultural sectors—that there might be a potential shortage of...

Motion to suspend Standing Orders (20 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: In favour.

5. Debate: COVID19 — Unlocking our Society and Economy: Continuing the Conversation (20 May 2020)

Joyce Watson: I've heard some rather disparate opinions here this afternoon, but I'm obviously going to speak in support of the Government, and I'm really proud to be part of a group—the ruling group in Wales—where all the feedback that I get is in praise of the calm, considered approach to help keep people safe in Wales; to help people actually come through an unprecedented situation where we have a...

Excluding these words

You can also do this from the main search box by putting a minus sign before words you don’t want: like hunting -fox

We also support a bunch of boolean search modifiers, like AND and NEAR, for precise searching.
