Leanne Wood: Diolch. These are our amendments to ensure that the law commences on 1 June 2019. This would bring the legislation in line with England, where similar legislation commences on 1 June. Many letting agencies and landlords operate on an English and Welsh basis, so while it will be banned in England, they will undoubtedly be hiking up fees for Welsh renters if our legislation doesn't match that....
Leanne Wood: Well, that isn't good enough. 'I expect it to be implemented in time for the academic year' is not in line with what the First Minister said in that citizens assembly. You have some serious questions to answer about that commitment that was given, and I would argue for all Members to support our amendment so that this legislation is implemented in time for the academic year not just hoped to be.

Leanne Wood: 2. Will the Minister outline how environmental considerations were taken into account when developing the Welsh Government's economic action plan? OAQ53615
Leanne Wood: Just over a fortnight ago, I was invited to speak at the Cardiff Extinction Rebellion event outside Cardiff library. They, as well as the school strikers, are campaigning for the declaration of a climate emergency, among other things, to ensure that all current and future policies are consistent with averting climate change and ecological collapse. I support the campaign aims—climate change...

Leanne Wood: I'm very pleased that Plaid Cymru's been able to secure this debate today. A Welsh citizen who has become a friend is on hunger strike in Newport, and I was reminded of Imam Sis's commitment to building strong and diverse communities when a Facebook memory photograph popped up just this week from two years ago, when Imam and I marched together in Cardiff against racism. He was prepared to...
Leanne Wood: My colleagues and others have already established what the issue is here. To recap, the UK Government changed the rules to equalise the pension age for men and women without any consideration that men and women born in the 1950s faced a very different environment, with women facing considerable legal restrictions on their ability to achieve fair pay and access to pension funds. They then...
Leanne Wood: Thank you. I welcome the fact that you want to write on this non-devolved issue, but we just sat in a debate prior to this where the Minister for international affairs said she couldn't intervene because is was a non-devolved issue. How can you intervene on this non-devolved issue but you couldn't intervene on the previous non-devolved issue?
Leanne Wood: What assessment has the Counsel General made of the Welsh Government's preparations for Brexit?
Leanne Wood: I've no doubt in my mind that the trolling of women on social media is an epidemic and that it's getting worse. I've got my own personal experience of this, and I make a point of standing up to that abuse whenever I receive it, and when I see other women receiving it as well because we can't afford to let the bullies win. At a conference called Slaying the Trolls that I attended towards the...
Leanne Wood: I've been contacted by a woman from the Rhondda whose 23-year-old daughter recently went through a health scare. After getting symptoms, she went for a blood test and, while at the clinic, she read information on a poster about cervical cancer and realised that she had all the symptoms that were described on that poster, bar one. When she told the doctor of her concerns, she was told that she...
