4. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Gwent Levels / Nature Recovery Exemplar Areas (14 Jun 2022)

Julie James: ...cultural and recreation asset for locals and visitors. In July last year, I released a written statement on taking action to better protect and manage the Gwent levels, following the decision not to proceed with the M4 relief road in 2019. Today, I am updating Members on the progress being made and the measures I am supporting to ensure the levels have the right level of protection and...

11. The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022 (12 Jul 2022)

Natasha Asghar: ...on 20 mph speed limits in 2018. They concluded that the 20 mph speed zones have made no impact on road safety, and drivers have only reduced their speed by 0.7 mph in these zones. Also, speed was not the most common factor involved in road accidents. The biggest contributing factor to accidents was, in fact, a failure to observe on the part of both motorists and pedestrians. There is also...

9. 7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Concessionary Bus and Rail Travel for Young People (18 Oct 2017)

Paul Davies: ...learning difficulties using the public transport network is by simply increasing understanding and tolerance of the challenges that face young people with learning difficulties. I’ve had many representations from groups such as Pembrokeshire People First, and I should declare an interest as their president. Groups like Pembrokeshire People First continue to advocate policies to make...

11. Debate: The Third Supplementary Budget 2020-21 ( 9 Mar 2021)

Rebecca Evans: ...seeking an update on the position in terms of the discussions that we have had with the UK Government on ports and borders. I can let colleagues know that I have now received a response to my representations to HM Treasury in regard to the funding for the infrastructure and the ongoing operations needed at the Welsh border, following our exit from the European Union. The Treasury has...

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Hutt: ...to fair working conditions for the Welsh workforce, and this is central to our transition to a zero-carbon economy, as we move to a cleaner, stronger, fairer Wales. Employee voice and collective representation is an essential characteristic of fair work, so it's important that workers in the sectors affected have a strong voice and are effectively represented in the transition to net zero....

8. Statement by the Chair of the Standards of Conduct Committee: The procedure for dealing with complaints against Members of the Senedd ( 6 Jul 2022)

Vikki Howells: ...and considered by the committee, with the final report being debated in Plenary. The Member who has been complained about has the right to attend the relevant committee meeting in person to make representations. We strengthened the oral hearing stage of the procedure, so that it is clearer that this is the opportunity for the Member to raise issues of factual dispute or procedural concern...

4. Statement by the First Minister: Draft Agreement on the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU (20 Nov 2018)

Paul Davies: ...of today's statement, and the First Minister's commentary on UK Conservative internal party relationships, is a bit rich when you look at the discipline of some Welsh Government Ministers, and does nothing remotely constructive to support Welsh industry. Indeed, it makes Wales look weak in leadership at a time when the country should be focusing on getting the best possible deal for its...

6. 6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Community Health Councils (20 Sep 2017)

Nick Ramsay: You actually said that you hadn’t heard of community health councils and that was an argument for them not to be there. Well, on those grounds, I think many of my constituents have never heard of the Welsh Assembly, but I don’t use that as an argument to abolish myself—well, not yet, anyway, but I suppose there’s still time. Look, no-one—well, very few people at any rate are saying...

7. 7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Banking Services (15 Feb 2017)

Darren Millar: ...a bank close just a couple of years ago in the NatWest. Now it’s the HSBC that have announced that they’re intending to close a branch, and the Yorkshire Building Society. So, it’s obviously not just about profits if a building society is planning to close. But I have, on behalf of my constituents, obviously, met with the organisations concerned and expressed my very strong...

5. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services: Improving Outcomes for Looked-after Children ( 2 Jul 2019)

Helen Mary Jones: ...a bit more today, Deputy Minister, about what the Government is doing to ensure consistency in those services, how families get access to those services, the kinds of support that they need. I'm not suggesting you need to impose some sort of national model, because what's appropriate in Gwynedd might not be appropriate in Blaenau Gwent, but we do need to have that consistency.  Because I...

4. Statement by the Minister for Housing and Local Government: Child Poverty Progress Report 2019 (10 Dec 2019)

Mark Isherwood: .... As a party to that report, I won't comment. I look forward, however, to hearing how the Welsh Government responds. You refer to austerity cuts, well, my dictionary describes 'austerity cuts' as not having enough money, and, as such, that was an inheritance, not a choice. We know that, because of the actions taken since 2010, public spending can now begin to increase significantly again....

10. Welsh Conservatives Debate: COVID-19 and Transport ( 8 Jul 2020)

Paul Davies: ..., Infrastructure and Skills Committee last month made it clear that the sector simply needed to know where it was going, and with some clarity pretty quickly. Members, that need for clarity cannot be emphasised enough. For most public transport providers, levels of service have decreased substantially overnight, resulting in some serious workforce planning and a need to overhaul and...

5. Statement by the Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care: Improving Outcomes for Children: Reducing the Need for Children to Enter Care, and the Work of the Ministerial Advisory Group (13 Nov 2018)

Huw Irranca-Davies: The ministerial advisory group has representation from all senior leaders and organisations with an involvement in children’s services. The group has been instrumental in advising me on, and co-producing, the improving outcomes for children work programme, and I'm pleased our partners are actively involved in this work. In fact, I attended the last ministerial advisory group meeting, and I...

3. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill ( 3 Nov 2021)

Jeremy Miles: ...of support and security for learners in that context. We’ve looked at what's happening over the border and the code that we have here is much more broad ranging than that. I also think that the representation on the board of the commission is important in terms of the learner voice. That’s at the core of the new system. But the Bill has been introduced and there will be an extended...

15. Short Debate: Building the foundations for change: the impact of the Welsh Government’s Neurological Conditions Delivery Plan (23 Sep 2020)

Vaughan Gething: ...fundamental if we're to improve the quality of our services across health and care, and, of course, that includes the neurological conditions implementation group. They have always had service user representation from its inception. The implementation group has also extended funding to the Wales Neurological Alliance, so that their project manager can develop a network of service users...

10. Short Debate A century since women gained the right to vote, but does Wales have equality today? (24 Jan 2018)

Julie James: ...when I've been negotiating my own salary in private sector legal firms and I've been told what my bonus or whatever is going to be and I've said, 'What are the men getting?' In firms where it's not a problem, they tell you instantly and where they won't tell you, it's never because they're not getting as much as you. So, I have to say that one of the things I've also liked since I've been...

5. Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee report: 'Turning the tide? Report of the inquiry into the Welsh Government's approach to Marine Protected Area management' (10 Jan 2018)

Lesley Griffiths: The Welsh Government has a strategic role in managing MPAs. We cannot secure favourable conditions on our own, so we will continue to work with other management authorities across Wales through the MPA management steering group to provide leadership and, where necessary, support towards collective fulfilment of our roles and responsibilities. John Griffiths asked a question around what...

3. 3. Debate on the General Principles of the Trade Union (Wales) Bill ( 9 May 2017)

John Griffiths: ...of the Bill. This recommendation, supported by seven out of eight committee members, is based on the overwhelming support for the Bill in the evidence we received. It is unusual for a committee not to be recommending amendments at Stage 1 scrutiny, but that is the case. Technically speaking, Dirprwy Lywydd, the Bill is straightforward. It disapplies specific provisions of the 2016 Act to...

6. Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform — Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales ( 8 Jun 2022)

Darren Millar: The issue of a referendum comes at the end of the discussions and deliberations, does it not? And we are at that point where recommendations have been made by the committee, and it's at that point, when you look at the significant changes that have been recommended, that you have to accept that the public of Wales have not had their say. Now, we acknowledge that there is a majority in this...

6. Statement by the Minister for Economy: Qatar 2022 (27 Sep 2022)

Tom Giffard: ...Cymru campaign, which sets aside £2.5 million to deliver what you call an enhanced marketing programme. But, these things are usually only worth the paper they're written on if you also publish not only the monetary figure but the metrics by which this scheme would be judged a success. So, what does success look like, exactly, on the back of this particular fund? How can we judge whether...
