5. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board ( 5 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Thank you. The Public Accounts Committee report into this has been mentioned by a number of Members, and recommendation 1 of that report was that, if things are to be turned around, we do need to have more specialist external staff brought in—external advice brought in—to assist the board, in addition to the turnaround director, or whatever else they have done. What progress have you made...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: A confirmatory European Union referendum ( 5 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: I'm glad no-one noticed that. [Laughter.]

1. Questions to the First Minister: Protecting the Environment (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: 1. Will the First Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's policies for protecting the environment? OAQ54004

1. Questions to the First Minister: Protecting the Environment (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Thank you for that answer, First Minister. I have recently received some very well-written letters, I have to say, from pupils in the Silverbirch class at Usk primary school in my constituency, who've been learning about global goals and, specifically, deforestation. The pupils wrote to me primarily because they're particularly concerned about the increasing demand for palm oil, which is used...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Protecting the Environment (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: It's framed.

2. Business Statement and Announcement (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Trefnydd, two points, if I may—two questions. Firstly, as part of Welsh National Opera's partnership with the Welsh Refugee Council, last week saw the performance of a piece of developmental music theatre called Beyond the Rainbow happening in the Wales Millennium Centre. That included a team with refugee artists and also members of Zim Voices—Members will know that I do a lot of work...

6. Debate: The Shared Prosperity Fund (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and can I thank the Minister for opening this debate? I'm pleased to contribute to it, and to agree, in fact, with many—though not all, as you would not be surprised to hear me say—of the points that have been made, but, nonetheless, many of the points you did make were something that, I think, we could all agree with, Minister, in terms of developing a system that...

6. Debate: The Shared Prosperity Fund (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: [Inaudible.]—lawyer sometimes. Well, first of all, I don't like the tone of the motion. I think that if we all discussed—. I know you had a cosy discussion with Plaid Cymru about how the motion would be phrased and you're very happy with that, but I think that there was a wider agreement that could have been sought on that motion, actually, and I think we could have had a better tone....

6. Debate: The Shared Prosperity Fund (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: First of all, yes, there is a tone issue. With regard to point 2, it says,  'Regrets the lack of detail from the UK Government'. I've already said we want to see more detail, and that will be forthcoming. Okay. Leaving that aside, point 3 'Rejects the idea of a centralised or UK-directed fund or one which seeks to bypass the devolved administrations post-Brexit.' We do not accept that there...

6. Debate: The Shared Prosperity Fund (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Just to be totally clear about this, I believe that point 3, and we believe that point 3, suggests that the UK Government is deliberately trying to bypass to claw back powers, which it is not. That that might actually—[Interruption.] That that result might actually be an unseen consequence longer down the line is something we can discuss, which is why I think point 4 is far more effective...

6. Debate: The Shared Prosperity Fund (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Will the Minister give way?

6. Debate: The Shared Prosperity Fund (11 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: It's an appropriate point to remember something that Vikki Howells said—I think it was Vikki—in her contribution—that there might be big concerns about the shared prosperity fund, but there are also issues about Barnettisation of funding coming to Wales as well. So, would you agree with me that we have got to make sure, when detail does become more clear around the prosperity fund, that...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Alternatives to the M4 Relief Road (12 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: And talking about innovations, I know that you're very interested in the electric car revolution, and the electric car revolution and autonomous vehicles give an opportunity for getting more capacity out of our motorway network, because cars that can communicate with each other via computer actually don't need such great stopping distances. So, there are all sorts of things happening with the...

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Reducing Plastic Waste (12 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I think that the Minister hit the nail on the head there at the very end of her speech when she said that we need action on this as well as warm words. I'll keep my comments brief, Dirprwy Lywydd, because I appreciate the time, and Members from all parties, and independents of course, have made some very good points. I think that, if you look at the statistics, they're...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Planning Permission (18 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: First Minister, a similar point made by Delyth Jewell. [Interruption.] I hope I'm not causing the crying upstairs. [Interruption.] No, it's not my baby; I hope not anyway. [Laughter.] Troy House in Monmouth is a grade II listed property, dating back to the seventeenth century, located in the Mitchel Troy ward in Monmouthshire. It's been in a poor state of decline for many years. It's been a...

Questions to the Deputy Minister and Chief Whip: The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 (18 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: 4. How is the Welsh Government ensuring its compliance with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015? OAQ54044

Questions to the Deputy Minister and Chief Whip: The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 (18 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Thank you, Minister. And I don't think you could be criticised for not listening to the future generations commissioner when it came to the M4 decision recently. I'm sure she was pleased that her thoughts were taken on board. I'll leave aside my usual favourite subject of asking about roads, and, if I can, ask you about the monitoring or the enactment of the well-being of future generations...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (18 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Trefnydd, can I first concur with the earlier comments made by my colleague Suzy Davies as regards the document amending the Government of Wales Act 2006 not being available on the Welsh Government website? As a Member of the Finance Committee, I have access to it, but I think it is helpful if it's available to a wider audience. Secondly, last week, we had the important debate on plastics and...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (18 Jun 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Will the First Minister outline the Welsh Government's economic priorities for south-east Wales?
