1. Questions to the First Minister: The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019 Results Report ( 3 Dec 2019)

Hefin David: There was some positive news for Lansbury Park in the Caerphilly constituency. It is no longer ranked as the most deprived area in Wales, although, as the First Minister recognises, there are still difficulties and it remains in the top 10. I think the improvement has been down to a mixture of investment from the Welsh Government, the European Union and Caerphilly County Borough Council,...

Hefin David: 7. Will the First Minister make a statement on the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019 results report? OAQ54809

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: I'm trying to be constructive in this debate and build an argument for why we're going to see transformation. I didn't use the word 'overpromising'. What I said was that the initial expectations for the service were raised high, so that people expected an immediate transformation. That clearly was never the plan. So, there was never an overpromise, but expectations for the service were higher...

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: Can I just say that you're misrepresenting me, because I didn't say that?

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: I did not. I certainly did not.

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: Will you take an intervention?

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: There was an implication that I heard in the Chamber earlier from another Member that said that the new stock will actually have less capacity— 

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: —on the Rhymney line than elsewhere. Can you just give us a reassurance that that isn't going to happen?

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: And the UK Government gave the Welsh Government absolutely no support and it actively prevented them from bringing new diesel stock onto the lines. That was prevented. I'm sure the Minister can elaborate further on that, as I'm absolutely sure he didn't mislead our committee. I also want to pay tribute to Transport for Wales, who've been very open. When I was elected in 2016, I met with Ian...

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: I will.

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: Yes, and there's an issue with rolling stock across the United Kingdom, and I think it would be foolhardy to remove Pacers when people want a seat on the train. It would be foolhardy to remove Pacers when there is nothing to replace them with. As a committee member, I've been to the Canton depot three times and I've seen the heroic work that is going on there to keep the rolling stock...

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: There's no doubt that people are frustrated by the state of the rail network and, in many cases, as frustrated as they were under Arriva. But there's also no doubting the fact that the Government is going to deliver a radically reformed transport service in the next three years. I don’t think there's any dispute about that, and that's clearly what the Minister intends and what will be...

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: They expect them by the end of November.

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: You mentioned the Rhymney line. I've raised these concerns myself directly with Transport for Wales, and the contact I've had with Transport for Wales has said that we expect DfT to provide us with what we need in plenty of time. That is what they've said to me.

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rolling Stock Strategy (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: I've had the assurance from Transport for Wales.

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: Ruperra Castle (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: It was testing my Welsh there. If you're going to answer in Welsh now, I'm going to put my headphones on. I understood you were visiting this week, but it's next week you're visiting Ruperra castle. In their submission to the public consultation on the draft national development framework, the Ruperra Castle Preservation Trust, who I met last week, supported the establishment of a green belt...

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: Ruperra Castle (20 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: 6. Will the Minister make a statement on Welsh Government support for the restoration of Ruperra Castle near Draethen? OAQ54699

1. Questions to the First Minister: Primary Healthcare (19 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: On 16 October I was informed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board that Gelligaer surgery had made a formal request to close their branch in Gilfach, near Bargoed. That's a surgery that's operated as an outreach surgery from Gelligaer for some time. Over 2,000 patients in Gilfach and Bargoed attend the Gilfach surgery, and if they had to move, they'd either have to move some distance...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Primary Healthcare (19 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: 5. Will the First Minister provide an update on the provision of primary healthcare in Wales? OAQ54730

Group 6: Disqualification (Amendments 88, 25, 89, 90, 91, 92, 98, 99, 73, 31, 74, 75, 76, 93, 94, 65) (13 Nov 2019)

Hefin David: Just as someone who stood down as a councillor in 2017, having served a year serving out my term as a councillor while an Assembly Member, I have to say that I disagree. I found that some of the decisions that we took here with regard to local government—the local government White Paper discussions, for example—it made sense to separate out—very much separate out—those different...
