5. Statement by the Minister for Economy: Supporting the creation of a Community Bank for Wales (14 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Diolch yn fawr, Deputy Presiding Officer. Minister, you will know, clearly, that I have been trying and working very hard to bring a community bank branch to Buckley in my constituency, and I think it’s worth noting that the undertaking of starting Wales’s first community bank and opening a branch is a bold one and a welcome one. So, I am very grateful to you and your officials, but also...

5. Debate on petition P-06-1208 New laws to protect rare red squirrels from habitat loss which causes population decline ( 8 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Diolch yn fawr, Deputy Presiding Officer. I want to thank Craig Shuttleworth and all the signatories of this petition for putting this topic on the agenda today. I think it was clear from the contributions made by all Members that there is a clear cross-party consensus, and from the Minister's response, not only to why we do need to act to protect red squirrels, but also what action needs to...

5. Debate on petition P-06-1208 New laws to protect rare red squirrels from habitat loss which causes population decline ( 8 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Thank you very much, Llywydd. On behalf of the Petitions Committee, thank you for the opportunity to introduce this important debate.

5. Debate on petition P-06-1208 New laws to protect rare red squirrels from habitat loss which causes population decline ( 8 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: This petition was introduced by Craig Shuttleworth in June and reached 10,000 signatures before the end of July. Llywydd, that tells me that a lot of people in Wales, and across the world, love red squirrels. And while it isn't the focus of today’s debate, I do wish to mention petition P-06-1225, 'Make Natural Resources Wales undertake and publish annual wildlife surveys before felling...

6. Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: The Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy ( 7 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: For the record, in 2018 I became a proud White Ribbon ambassador, and I very much welcome today's statement from the Minister. But, I want to start with a statement and a simple message that cannot be said enough: it is men that have to change if we are to tackle violence against women and misogyny. Deputy Presiding Officer, we've heard today from the Minister and Members across the Chamber...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Community Benefit Societies ( 7 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: I remember the visit with the Prif Weinidog to Buckley in my constituency very fondly. It was an excellent visit some months ago. Last Saturday was Small Business Saturday, as we know, and it's those small businesses, like the butchers in Buckley high street, the hairdressers in Buckley high street and the many other businesses, that keep more money in our communities every single day of the...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Higher Paid Sectors ( 1 Dec 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Minister, the aerospace industry is a source of well-paid employment in my constituency, in particular Airbus and its surrounding supply chain, but the benefits do go a lot further than just Alyn and Deeside—they stretch across every part of Wales. These skill sets based within this industry will stand us in good stead for the future, and I think we saw the very best of that skill set last...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The Climate Emergency (30 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Prif Weinidog. I'm very grateful for the work the Welsh Government is doing on this issue in leading the way. In my own constituency, Ysgol Golftyn are a prime example of leading the way on this particular issue. I was written to by every year 2 pupil from the school just recently, and I was invited to the school to answer challenging questions about climate change. The...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The Climate Emergency (30 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: 8. How is the Welsh Government is ensuring children and young people are aware of the gravity of the climate emergency? OQ57283

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Public Law Advice (24 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: I thank the Counsel General for his second answer. [Laughter.] Counsel General, there is a growing body of Wales-specific law and much of which is designed to empower residents in Wales to hold public bodies to account. Now, the availability of public law advice in Wales has just not kept up with the pace. It is my understanding that there are no Welsh public law firms and this is a real...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Universal Basic Income (24 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: I appreciate that answer, Counsel General, and, of course, I very much welcome the commitment from the Welsh Government to commit to bringing forward a pilot on the universal basic income, an idea that was sparked in interest because of the debate I led successfully in the last Senedd. But it is important that we do get a successful trial here in Wales, because that could really add to the...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Universal Basic Income (24 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: 1. What advice has the Counsel General given to the Welsh Government regarding its powers to introduce a universal basic income? OQ57245

Jack Sargeant: 2. Will the Counsel General make a statement on access to public law advice in Wales? OQ57230

3. Topical Questions: Arriva Wales Bus Drivers (17 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: I appreciate that answer, Minister. Llywydd, I will start by saying that, like these drivers, I'm a proud member of Unite the Union. These drivers live in the communities they serve, and the last thing they want to do is to be on strike, but they are in this position because Arriva pay different rates for the same job, exactly the same job, just across the border. Frankly, I think that is...

3. Topical Questions: Arriva Wales Bus Drivers (17 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: 1. How is the Welsh Government supporting Arriva Wales bus drivers who are seeking a fair wage? TQ580

8. Statement by the Minister for Economy: The Young Person’s Guarantee (16 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Minister, I very much welcome today's statement, in particular the guarantee itself. After all, it was a Welsh Labour Government who supported my route through my apprenticeship at a local small and medium-sized enterprise in Deeside. And you'll be well aware that Airbus UK in my constituency is a huge employer for apprentices and graduate trainees, and I've been particularly impressed with...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Educational Benefits of Apprenticeships (10 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: I thank Mr Rowlands for bringing this very important question forward today. Minister, I learnt on the tools for my engineering apprenticeship things that were just not covered in school nor college, and nor were they covered in my part-time degree when I studied at Glyndŵr University. These are skills that stand anyone in good stead for life. And in the words of Michael Halliday, my...

8. Debate: Remembering and supporting our Armed Forces community in Wales ( 9 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: I too am very grateful to speak in today's debate in a sense of cross-party spirit, which I believe it should be. And like Huw Irranca-Davies, one of the proudest moments of my time as a sitting Member of the Senedd was when I became an honorary member of the Royal Welch Fusiliers' Shotton and Deeside branch. This evening's debate is an opportunity to reflect and to highlight the importance...

9. Short Debate: 'Listen to us. Support us.': The need to ensure access for young people to mental health support ( 3 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: Diolch, acting Presiding Officer. I'll extend my thanks to Rhun for giving me this opportunity to talk this evening, but I think more importantly we should extend our thanks to Gareth, the young person who's brought this to you, because the bravery of Gareth to introduce this topic to you and bring it to our Senedd is certainly one that needs commending. Members will know I do have concerns...

6. Debate on petition P-05-912 Supporting Families with Sudden and Unexpected Death in Children and Young Adults ( 3 Nov 2021)

Jack Sargeant: On behalf of the committee, I would also like to thank the Minister and all Members for their contributions today. Thank you very much.
