1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 8 Mar 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Okay, thank you very much for that, Minister. But it was also this Government that sent back £155 million to the UK Government because they didn't actually do their homework when it came to funding. So, let's not go down that road. I will carry on with my third question.  Ofcom believes that approximately 15,000 premises cannot get a broadband service of at least 10 Mbps download speed and...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 8 Mar 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Great, thank you, Minister. I really do appreciate the detailed answer. Now, moving on to my second question, the UK Government's gigabit broadband voucher scheme is a fantastic initiative, helping people to combat slow broadband speeds in rural areas. Vouchers worth thousands of pounds are being given to homes and businesses to help cover the cost of installing gigabit broadband. Last year,...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 8 Mar 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Thank you so much, Presiding Officer. Minister, it's estimated that around 7 per cent of adults in Wales are not on the internet. A large chunk of that 7 per cent are people aged 75 or over who have no connection to the internet. Just under 80 per cent of people with a limiting, long-standing illness, disability or infirmity use the internet, compared with 93 per cent of those without such...

1. Questions to the First Minister: An Economic Strategy for the Heads of the Valleys ( 7 Mar 2023)

Natasha Asghar: First Minister, there is no doubt that all of us here want to see Wales thrive with a strong economy, an abundance of highly skilled jobs and great opportunities for all. Well, the UK Government's levelling-up fund is just one of the many projects that are actually going to help us achieve that. In the latest round of funding, my region of south-east Wales was awarded nearly £40 million, £9...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: Debt ( 1 Mar 2023)

Natasha Asghar: I'd like to wish you and all of my colleagues here in the Chamber and beyond a very, very happy St David's Day. Minister, I know that you've probably heard this line from many of my colleagues over time and over many years, but it's no secret that Labour has sadly been running our NHS into the ground, with nearly 600,000 patients languishing on waiting lists. We also have more than 45,000...

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Habilitation training for sight-impaired children (15 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: I’ve been very fortunate since having been elected that I was able to work quite closely with Andrea Gordon. Now, she’s from Guide Dogs Cymru and, through her, I was able to meet numerous individuals who actually have visual impairments, and it really made me understand a lot more about their needs and what they have to have in life. Some of the things that we often don’t even think...

3. Topical Questions: The Bus Emergency Scheme (15 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: No, I don't think you have.

3. Topical Questions: The Bus Emergency Scheme (15 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: I'd like to thank my colleague, Delyth Jewell, for actually raising this as a question today. Now, with all due respect, the end of March was set to be the cut-off point for BES 3, as it was commonly known, and now, we are finding out that it obviously gets pushed back to the end of June, which is fine. So, I'd like to know what exactly is going to happen when we reach June, Deputy Minister?...

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Improving the Control of Dogs (15 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Thanks, Minister. I've been contacted by a constituent who says that he was recently attacked by a large dog on a public footpath in Newbridge. He goes on to say that he has been bitten twice by dogs in public places over the last six years, and his son has also been bitten as well. The Member for Caerphilly touched on this topic last week, so I know that you are aware of the two recent...

3. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: The Roads Review and National Transport Delivery Plan (14 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Deputy Minister, you had a real chance here to get Wales moving again by giving communities across Wales infrastructure they not only need, but really deserve. Residents in all four corners of Wales have been on tenterhooks for nearly two years while this backwards road building ban has been in place. But the wait is finally over, just under 60 schemes went under the microscope as part of...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Free ports ( 8 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: No. [Laughter.] And since being a Member, I've had an immeasurable number of meetings and attended incalculable events with individuals, groups and organisations across Wales on their plight to get their bid approved and I must say that they've all been very impressive. I was delighted to hear that three exceptional Welsh free-port bids have been submitted and it's fantastic news for the...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Free ports ( 8 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Thank you so much to my colleague, Darren Millar, for bringing this important debate forward. Having spoken on the subject on quite a few occasions, I sincerely don't hold the same view as you, Luke Fletcher. In fact, I think free ports present a fantastic opportunity for Wales, energising the economy, creating high-quality jobs, and will drive investment forward, something I would have...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Educational Standards in Islwyn ( 8 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Minister, you've read a lot of reports; I've read a fair number of reports now on education, having had many questions with you over the past few years. Now, statistically, we all know that children growing up in poverty and disadvantaged areas are less likely to do well at school. Research from the Education Policy Institute into the impact of educational inequalities reveals that, sadly,...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Electricity from Renewable Sources ( 8 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Thanks, Minister. I recently met and received a presentation from the developers behind a proposed solar energy farm at Craig Y Perthi near Uskmouth power station. Solar power, I'm sure you know better than anyone, is currently one of the cheapest forms of energy generation, and with schemes like Craig Y Perthi solar farm in the pipeline, there is a real potential for solar energy to address...

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 7 Feb 2023)

Natasha Asghar: Minister, may I ask for a statement from the Minister for Climate Change regarding the historic dumping of toxic waste at Ty Llwyd quarry at Ynysddu? Caerphilly County Borough Council is now the owner of the site, having compulsorily purchased the quarry, but has refused to register Ty Llwyd as contaminated land in spite of local concern about leachate leaking out and polluting neighbourhood...
