Delyth Jewell: I understand that you, Counsel General, will be taking part in a conference on justice and policing next week, which will be held jointly with Liz Savile Roberts. It will focus on the Commission on Justice in Wales report, which recommended the devolution of justice two years ago. Of course, the devolution of justice is now Welsh Government policy, and has formed part of the co-operation...
Delyth Jewell: What legal advice has the Counsel General provided to the Welsh Government on coal tip safety regulations?
Delyth Jewell: What action is the Welsh Government taking in relation to women’s safety?
Delyth Jewell: Trefnydd, it's been two years this week since the Senedd discussed Lynne Neagle's Member debate on pancreatic cancer. My grandmother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2005, so I'm one of too many people who know the brutal reality of this disease, which is both the quickest-killing cancer, and one with one of the lowest survival rates. Recently, I and Members attended a cross-party...
Delyth Jewell: First Minister, as we've heard, this week marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Every year we mark this day, and yet every year more women die because of male violence, and every day women modify their behaviour to avoid being attacked or killed. It sounds extreme, but that is an everyday calculation that countless women make. You recently supported a...
Delyth Jewell: Responsibility is at the heart of this debate—yes, Wales's stance as a globally responsible nation, but, deeper than that, I mean the sense that's been with us throughout the pandemic that the actions we take have consequences not just for ourselves but for everyone around us. Somehow, that message hasn't registered with global leaders and Governments. They continue to act as if what...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'd like to thank the Deputy Minister for his statement. What was agreed at COP fell far below the drastic action needed, and while I would add my voice to those praising Alok Sharma for his valiant attempts to forge a consensus, Boris Johnson should surely be condemned for making his job so difficult. At a time when the Prime Minister of the host state should have...
Delyth Jewell: As young women growing up, we are taught to be careful, to avoid certain situations, people, outfits, to limit the things we do and the space we take up, not to walk home alone, not to drink too much, not to act in a way that would bring unwanted attention, and when you're out with friends, keep your hand over your drink, and don't leave a drink on the table if you're going to the ladies' or...
Delyth Jewell: Thank you, Minister. Plaid Cymru, of course, welcomes the fact that there will be a new Welsh-medium primary opening in Merthyr next September. We also support plans to open a Welsh-medium primary school in Tredegar in 2023. I would like to thank Rhieni dros Addysg Gymraeg and local authorities for their work in progressing this, and the Government for providing the resources. Many other...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Gweinidog. There is currently a strike going on in my region, with Stagecoach staff based at the depots in Cwmbran, Brynmawr and Blackwood in their third week at the picket line. It is regrettable it's come to this, Minister, when you consider how little the drivers are asking for, which is only a £1 increase in pay to £10.50 an hour. That's only £1 above the living wage, as...
Delyth Jewell: 6. Will the Minister make a statement about the future of public transport in South Wales East? OQ57152
Delyth Jewell: 4. Will the Minister make a statement on the future of Welsh-medium education in South Wales East? OQ57151
Delyth Jewell: I'd like an update from the Welsh Government, please, about next steps relating to the 327 high-risk coal tips in Wales. The Government, and I, had hoped that money for this would be forthcoming from the UK budget last month, but Wales was once again let down by Westminster. Trefnydd, the finance Minister has said that the UK Government has a legal and a moral responsibility to make the tips...
Delyth Jewell: I associate myself entirely with what Hefin said about the community in Penyrheol. First Minister, last month, Public Health Wales launched a campaign encouraging pregnant women to have the COVID-19 vaccine because of how many unvaccinated women end up needing hospital treatment. One in six COVID patients requiring the highest form of life support in England are unvaccinated pregnant women,...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Gadeirydd. I move the Plaid Cymru amendment. This is certainly a timely debate. COP26 is a moment when humanity will either redeem itself or carry on condoning waste and destruction, a moment when we are poised on a precipice to allow the future to be or not to be—that really is what's at stake in Glasgow. I'm glad that we're talking about recovery—it is an apt word, because to...
Delyth Jewell: Thank you for that, Minister.
Delyth Jewell: COVID-19 rates, as you've been saying, in the south-east have been worryingly high recently. One of the likely reasons for this is the number of inaccurate results given to residents by a laboratory in Wolverhampton. An estimated 4,000 Welsh residents were affected, and the majority were in Gwent and Cwm Taf. Minister, as you'll know, this was serious, because if people were told that they...
Delyth Jewell: 1. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of COVID-19 rates in South Wales East? OQ57110
Delyth Jewell: What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact the recent UK Government budget will have on the Welsh economy?
Delyth Jewell: Minister, I'd like to also ask about the UK Government. You've said previously that your department had little warning before the UK Government published the net-zero plan. As I understand, it was a matter of only hours. Could you tell us how this has affected how the strategy will interplay with the UK strategy? It might be useful for us to know your assessment of the extent to which the...
