6. Debate on the Petitions Committee Report, 'The Final Bend? P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales' ( 8 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: Thank you very much. And just on the point that you're making, there's no suggestion in this report whatsoever that this will go wider, or open the door. This has actually focused quite rightly on the petition, which is about a phased ban being introduced for greyhound racing in Wales. And just while we're on it, we've got to be balanced—

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Tourism in Mid and West Wales ( 8 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: Thank you for that answer, Deputy Minister. Of course, our region has everything to offer, from stunning beaches to the international dark sky reserve in the Brecon Beacons, which, of course, will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. And that, I'm sure, is why Wales will, this year, welcome the highest number of cruise ships ever, with 91 ships expected to call at our ports in...

4. Debate: The Final Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: I just wondered, within those figures, and that meeting that you had with the housing association, whether they mentioned the disastrous budget that has increased people’s mortgages by up to £600 a month, by Liz Truss’s ideologically driven budget that people are still suffering the consequences of. They must surely have mentioned that.

4. Debate: The Final Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: Will you take an intervention?

1. Questions to the First Minister: Ports ( 7 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: I welcome the progress on Northern Ireland, or the Windsor protocol, but I share your concerns that the deal agreed last week could have a negative impact on Welsh ports, and that includes Fishguard and Pembroke. Brexit has done a good job in boosting French ports at the expense of UK ports. It's far easier now, of course, to bypass Welsh ports, and we can't afford any further decline. The...

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh language ( 1 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: I’m going to call Gareth Davies next, and I understand that he has apologised to the Llywydd for his earlier contribution, and therefore, he is able to take part in this debate.

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh language ( 1 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: I have selected the amendment to the motion. I call on the Minister for Education and Welsh Language to formally move amendment 1 tabled in the name of Lesley Griffiths.

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Senedd Estate ( 1 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: I thank you for highlighting what you have highlighted and the inadequacies that currently still exist. I finished my first part by answering you, saying that we're not complacent and that we will always strive to be inclusive, and that of course stands. The Senedd was designed to provide good access for disabled people, and we did have an access adviser employed during those design stages....

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Senedd Estate ( 1 Mar 2023)

Joyce Watson: Thank you for that question. The Commission is committed to ensuring that the Senedd estate is accessible to everyone. Accessibility was one of the key considerations during the design of the Senedd building, and we also considered accessibility when completing equality impact assessments for all subsequent building improvements on this estate. Officials recently met with a representative...

9. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: Fair Work: Annual Progress and Priorities (28 Feb 2023)

Joyce Watson: Diolch, Llywydd. Social partnerships have to be the key that underpins everything in the workplace, and, contrary to the Tory myth and ideological constructs that they have that are different to ours, social partnerships actually benefit both the worker and the employer. It puts people in a position of having a dialogue, rather than a confrontation, and we've seen plenty of confrontation and...

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Greyhound Racing (15 Feb 2023)

Joyce Watson: Greyhound racing is all too often incredibly dangerous for the greyhounds, and there is this statistic that 2,000 greyhounds were euthanised in the UK between 2018 and 2020 simply as a result of being raced. I strongly believe that no animal should suffer in the name of sport, and that goes for all sports that use all forms of animals for human entertainment, so I'm pleased to hear you say...
