Leanne Wood: 3. Will the Minister provide an update on the roll-out of new trains for the Rhondda as part of the new rail franchise? OAQ54419
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...
Leanne Wood: Will you take an intervention?
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?
Leanne Wood: It's not irrelevant, you're talking about public opinion.
Leanne Wood: Are you calling me stupid?
Leanne Wood: Are you calling me stupid?
Leanne Wood: I think you need to be careful.
Leanne Wood: Will you take an intervention?
Leanne Wood: Given that the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was found guilty of breaking the law this week, do you think he should now not have the right to vote?
Leanne Wood: Should we lock him up? Lock him up, maybe?

Leanne Wood: Will you take an intervention?
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.

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.

I also know that...
Leanne Wood: Will the Minister make a statement on the future of emergency surgery at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital?
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....
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...
Leanne Wood: Will you take an intervention? Do you think climate change is a real thing, or do you think we're making it up?
Leanne Wood: You're just against strikes, aren't you?
