2. Business Statement and Announcement (24 Sep 2019)

Leanne Wood: I want to raise the problems that constituents in Porth are having regarding mobile phone coverage. This follows a fire around a mobile phone mast nearly a fortnight ago, and there's been an absence of mobile signal in many areas around the town since then. As you can imagine, this is causing a great deal of inconvenience not just to individuals, but also to local businesses. Is there any...

3. Statement by the Minister for Housing and Local Government: The Innovative Housing Programme — Year 3 (24 Sep 2019)

Leanne Wood: It's good to see an increase in social housing being funded through this. I've just got a small number of questions to ask you. I wonder if the Minister could please outline how these schemes are interlinking with private sector developments, so that we can avoid creating ghettos. The statement hints at this, but it doesn't provide wider details, such as changes to planning law, for example....

1. Questions to the Minister for Education: School Uniforms (25 Sep 2019)

Leanne Wood: I welcome the publication of the statutory guidance that came into force at the beginning of the month, and it makes the school uniform more affordable, accessible and gender-neutral. While there's more flexibility within the system, those in receipt of grants can be compelled to just go to one supplier; that is the case with one school within my constituency in the Rhondda. I also know that...

5. Debate on the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee report: Voting Rights for Prisoners (25 Sep 2019)

Leanne Wood: I'm pleased that we're having this debate, and I'm just really disappointed at the Conservatives' contribution, not just today, but in the inquiry as well. I must admit that when our committee embarked on this inquiry I was sceptical. As a former probation officer, who keeps a keen interest in the justice system even though it isn't devolved, I thought it would be odd for us, as a committee,...

5. Debate on the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee report: Voting Rights for Prisoners (25 Sep 2019)

5. Debate on the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee report: Voting Rights for Prisoners (25 Sep 2019)

5. Debate on the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee report: Voting Rights for Prisoners (25 Sep 2019)

Leanne Wood: Public opinion polls show time and time again that the general public is in favour of bringing back hanging. Do you therefore think we should bring back hanging in order to comply with public opinion?

5. Debate on the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee report: Voting Rights for Prisoners (25 Sep 2019)

QNR: Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services (25 Sep 2019)

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 1 Oct 2019)

Leanne Wood: You will be aware that, last week, the Wales Governance Centre published a report looking at international evidence of imprisonment rates having been reduced. This follows on from previous research that showed that Westminster's imprisonment policy has failed us in Wales, having given us the highest imprisonment rate in western Europe, with higher numbers of people from a black, Asian and...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport: New Trains for the Rhondda ( 2 Oct 2019)

Leanne Wood: But, so far, no toilets. Minister, I wish I didn't have to keep raising the train service in Wales with you, but things are getting worse. Services are being taken off the timetable; carriages are being taken off peak-time services on the Valleys lines. Now, I catch the train regularly and the peak-time experience is more often than not uncomfortable and bordering on unsafe. This is not just...
