Joyce Watson: Will the Minister provide an update on the school COVID-19 bubble system?

3. Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Afghanistan (14 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: Thank you, Minister, for your statement. I think it's absolutely essential that we support those who've supported us, albeit that they've supported us in another country. We know that we support our own armed forces, and that is absolutely right, yet the work that they do, predominantly, is elsewhere. So, I'm really proud that we here in Wales are a nation of sanctuary. Of course, many of the...

Joyce Watson: 5. What assessment of the tax implications for Wales has the Minister made of the UK Government's freeports policy? OQ56832

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Free Ports (15 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: I thank you for that answer, Minister, but I'm not at all surprised by it. I have put on record my doubts about free ports. I'm not convinced of the economic argument, and I have concerns relating to the environment, and also to any labour standards that go alongside that. But what I am sure of, however, is that Wales must not be short changed, our key strategic ports like Milford Haven must...

Joyce Watson: 2. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the environmental impact of intensive poultry units in Mid and West Wales? OQ56831

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Intensive Poultry Units (15 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: I thank you for that answer, but according to research by Wildlife Trust Wales, Powys now has more than 150 intense poultry units, housing an estimated 10 million chickens. As a result, an extra 2,000 tonnes of phosphate a year are estimated to be spread onto land in the Wye catchment area. Last September, I asked you for an update on the intensive agriculture working group that was looking...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Universal Credit (15 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: Will you take an intervention?

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Universal Credit (15 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: Thank you for taking the intervention. Do you agree that the UK Government have rightly identified that the amount of money that people are receiving on universal credit isn't sufficient, and that is why they actually increased it by £20 a week, so that those people could just survive? Do you also agree, if you agree with that, that it is a really wrong move and a bad move to remove it now...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Universal Credit (15 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: It's been just an amazing insight into the other benches today. I just want to say one thing. They talked about HGV drivers and training them, well, I just want to say this to you: by the time you've trained an HGV driver, the food will be rotten in the lorry. Just a thought for you to think about, that's all, and I thought it might be useful to help you in that deliberation. But I want to...

3. Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales, and Trefnydd: Future Farming Policy and the Sustainable Farming Scheme (21 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: Diolch, Llywydd. We all know what the goal is, and it's simple: it's to see Wales as a net-zero emissions country by 2050. That's what this is all about, and the policies are critical to achieving that because we know that farmers look after 80 per cent of our land. It's just that simple.  So, paying them to help fight climate change and look after wildlife rather than how much land they...

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: A Dementia-friendly Senedd Estate (22 Sep 2021)

Joyce Watson: I thank you for that question. In 2015, the Assembly committed to becoming a dementia-friendly organisation. In line with that commitment, the Commission continues to work closely with Alzheimer’s Society Cymru’s dementia-friendly team and has delivered Dementia Friends training and awareness sessions for Members, their staff, Commission staff, and particularly for public-facing staff and...
