3. 3. Nomination of First Minister under Standing Order 8 (11 May 2016)

David Rowlands: Leanne Wood.

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Membership of the European Union</p> ( 8 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Obviously, we all know that there is no such thing as European money; it’s British money coming back to us after they have purloined a half of it. But can I say, perhaps the First Minister isn’t aware that Islwyn is said to be the most Eurosceptic constituency in Wales? Can you blame the constituency? For instance, most of the factories on the Oakdale estate in Islwyn employ almost...

2. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Membership of the European Union</p> (14 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Given that one of the Labour Party’s great benefits of belonging to the European Union is the workers’ rights legislation, supposedly emanating from Brussels, perhaps the First Minister would like to comment on the rights of those workers formerly employed at the Bosch plant bordering his constituency, and perhaps reflect on the fact that it was British money, used in regional aid, that...

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): the European Union (15 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: First of all, there is no such thing as European money—it’s British money coming back to us after they’ve purloined half of it. But I’d like here to perhaps pause and reflect on Wales’s constitutional position within Europe. As we all know, Brussels only recognises Wales as a mere region within Europe; it has no national status, whilst the very existence of this Senedd is testament...

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): the European Union (15 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: No, I don’t, because what I’m telling you is that we within Wales have a wonderful relationship with the other nations within the United Kingdom that has benefited us. There is no benefit to us within Europe. [Interruption.] There is no benefit to us to be in Europe. Given this constitutional deficit, why is it that those who make up this institution feel that we will not get our fair...

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): the European Union (15 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Thank you. It beggars belief to me that two so-called socialist parties that care about the working classes are those parties that advocate a huge number of people pouring into this country. They did not take chief executives’ jobs. They didn’t take top civil servants’ jobs. They didn’t take bankers’ jobs. They took working-class jobs. Where they didn’t take those jobs, they have...

5. 4. Statement: The Public Local Inquiry on the M4 at Newport (21 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. Can I first thank the Minister for his clear and comprehensive statement on this very important project? Representations have been made by Newport ports authority with regard to the black route and its negative impact on its operations. Does he have any possible alterations to the route that might take into account their concerns before the public inquiry actually...

7. 7. UKIP Wales Debate: The European Union (22 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: By listening to the people on the doorstep? Thank you.

7. 7. UKIP Wales Debate: The European Union (22 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Respect the people on the doorstep, please.

7. 7. UKIP Wales Debate: The European Union (22 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Much has been made, particularly in this Chamber, of the benefits to Wales of so-called European money. We’ve heard a Member say today that the £10 billion we give to Europe is absolutely inconsequential. But, when a part of that comes back to Wales, they represent it as absolutely crucial to the economy of Wales. So, one thing doesn’t tie up with the other. So, can I seek to enlighten...

2. 2. Debate: The Outcome of the EU Referendum (28 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: First of all, I cannot believe that the Labour Party are still in denial about the true desires and aspirations of the working-class people of Wales. I have to say that they’re talking about just 2 or 4 per cent difference in the ‘in’ and the ‘out’ vote; well, in places such as Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and many other parts of those Welsh Labour strongholds, it was something like 60...

2. 2. Debate: The Outcome of the EU Referendum (28 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Yes, okay.

2. 2. Debate: The Outcome of the EU Referendum (28 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Well, I welcome your intervention on that part, but you still seem to be in denial about the reasons why they voted to come out of the European Union. But I think what I’ll go on to say will probably answer the question that you’ve just asked, and that is that I said that the implications of this referendum are far too important for any such indulgence. I put it to you that this is a time...

14. 16. Election of Committee Chairs (28 Jun 2016)

David Rowlands: Yes, I nominate Mark Reckless.

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Discussions with Anchor Companies</p> ( 5 Jul 2016)

David Rowlands: Would the First Minister confirm that, and I’m not implying in any way that you were involved, during the 1970s, France and Britain co-operated to build Concorde? I believe it was called ‘entente cordiale’, well before we became members of the EU. The inference of this is, of course, that matters at Airbus will continue unabated and that this debate now is another example of...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister ( 5 Jul 2016)

David Rowlands: Will the First Minister provide an update on the current situation regarding the construction of the Specialist Critical Care Centre in Llanfrechfa, Cwmbran, which was first announced in 2004?

5. 4. UKIP Wales Debate: The Impact of the EU Referendum on Tata Steel ( 6 Jul 2016)

David Rowlands: Diolch yn fawr. Well, I have to say that much has been said in this Chamber about the necessity to keep confidence in both the Welsh and the British economy. Well, over the last two weeks since Brexit, anybody who had been listening to the comments in this Chamber would have no confidence whatsoever in our ability as a nation to run a good, confident, expanding economy. It goes without saying...

5. 4. UKIP Wales Debate: The Impact of the EU Referendum on Tata Steel ( 6 Jul 2016)

David Rowlands: Well, that’s what’s happening. [Interruption.] That’s what’s happening. [Interruption.] It’s a consequence of not having the industry. The answer lies in the fact that, after 17 years of Labour rule in this institution, and for many years with a Labour Government in Westminster, we qualified for those grants—. I’m sorry, I’ll just repeat this, because I was interrupted. We...
