1. Questions to the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales: Businesses in South Wales Central (11 Nov 2020)

Mick Antoniw: ...probably 250,000 to 300,000 or more within Wales, which means that, literally, 50,000, 60,000, 70,000 of them will be getting no support whatsoever. Many of them are my constituents, and I've had representations from them to this effect. What more can be done to actually support the self-employed and freelancers? What representations are being made to the UK Government in respect of the...

Group 8: Equality and diversity and job sharing (Amendments 161, 178, 179, 162, 163, 160, 172, 174) (10 Nov 2020)

Julie James: ...or appointed to the executive in a shared office. I understand the principle that underpins that this amendment, and it's one of promoting greater diversity, but unfortunately the amendment does not consider the potential implications of such an approach. During the development of the Bill, though consideration was given to whether the limit of 10 should be completely removed, it was felt...

Group 5: Public participation (Amendments 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117) (10 Nov 2020)

Julie James: ...duty, the Government proposed an amendment at Stage 2 to remove it. This amendment was agreed. I therefore consider this amendment goes against the concerns previously raised and responded to. I cannot support amendment 113, which seeks to replace the term 'social media' with 'current and emerging digital and media platforms'. As stated at Stage 2, the term 'social media' is universally...

Group 1: Local government elections (Amendments 84, 85, 1, 86, 87, 99, 101,102, 103,104,105, 2, 106, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 147, 58, 59, 60, 61, 79, 55, 56) (10 Nov 2020)

Julie James: ...is an inherent part of the qualification to stand for office set out in the Local Government Act 1972. In addition, any qualifying foreign citizen standing for local government office must either not require leave to enter or remain in the UK, or have been granted leave to enter or remain as set out in the Immigration Act 1971, or are treated as such by law. I also cannot support amendment...

Group 1: Local government elections (Amendments 84, 85, 1, 86, 87, 99, 101,102, 103,104,105, 2, 106, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 147, 58, 59, 60, 61, 79, 55, 56) (10 Nov 2020)

Mark Isherwood: ...between the UK and the Republic of Ireland as a consequence of the historic relationship between both countries, and the ability of Commonwealth citizens to vote at UK elections is a legacy of the Representation of the People Act 1918. However, this Bill, we believe, proposes a step too far. At least most of the few countries that allow foreign citizens to vote have a minimum residency...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Controlling the Use of Fireworks (10 Nov 2020)

Mike Hedges: ...some military personnel, who could be re-traumatised by hearing an unexpected explosion, as well as the effect it has on animals. I also have concerns about the effect it has on air quality. What representation has the Welsh Government made to strengthen the Fireworks Act?

5. Statement by the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales: Future of Rail — Details of the new arrangements ( 3 Nov 2020)

Ken Skates: Can I thank Huw Irranca-Davies for his questions? I'd like to assure him from the outset that Maesteg has certainly not been forgotten during the course of pretty intense negotiations. I can tell Huw Irranca-Davies actually that I'm pleased that TfW are going to be taking forward work on the Welsh transport appraisal guidance stage 2 process late next month or early January. I think that's...

5. Statement by the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales: Future of Rail — Details of the new arrangements ( 3 Nov 2020)

David Rowlands: ...indication to unmute there. Can I thank the Minister for your update today and for your statement? It is, of course, excellent news that you were able to put in place the interventions outlined, not only for those using the rail network, but also for those whose jobs are being secured by your actions. And can I assure the Minister today that my group are fully supportive of your...

5. Statement by the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales: Future of Rail — Details of the new arrangements ( 3 Nov 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: ...the circumstances that led to this statement coming into the public domain before it had been placed before the Senedd, and I do accept that the Minister himself regards that as suboptimal and not the way that he would usually wish to proceed. As the Minister knows, Plaid Cymru are pleased to support him in this approach. When the opportunity came up a couple of years ago, we felt that...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education: Schools in Pembrokeshire (21 Oct 2020)

Paul Davies: ...our schools, and I'm sure that supporting those professionals is also a priority of yours. Now, I've received correspondence from local supply teachers who are deeply worried that many are not being paid the basic recommended minimum rate, as outlined in the supply teaching framework. As you know from my previous representations to you on this matter, supply staff have had a really tough...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education: Outdoor Education Centres (21 Oct 2020)

Kirsty Williams: ...constantly under review. My officials met as recently as 14 October with Public Health Wales, to discuss the appropriateness of current advice. Unfortunately, at this time, residential trips are not recommended, but as soon as we are able to do so, then clearly we will want to change that. With regard to discussions for economic support, recognising not only the importance for children of...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd: Cosmeston Farm (21 Oct 2020)

Rebecca Evans: ...contribution to the Vale of Glamorgan's identified housing need. And, of course, if this proposal doesn't go ahead, it's likely that an alternative site will need to be allocated. But, importantly, representations do need to be made to the council in respect of the application, and I would expect that the local authority would find ways to engage with the public and allow them to make...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (21 Oct 2020)

Rebecca Evans: ...package for business, with a view to doing absolutely everything we can to support businesses across Wales, and to make the application process—where there is an application needed and it's not automatic—as swift as possible to get that money to businesses as quickly as possible. Because we know that many businesses are facing such difficult times that they can't be waiting for that...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd: The Economy Budget (21 Oct 2020)

Rebecca Evans: I absolutely will make those representations. In fact, I have a finance quadrilateral meeting with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury just later on this afternoon, where I'll be making exactly that point about the switch over from the job retention scheme to the job support scheme. It unnecessarily creates difficulties for businesses in Wales, where they'll need to apply to two different...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd: The Economy Budget (21 Oct 2020)

Huw Irranca-Davies: Let me begin just by welcoming the additional support that's come in yesterday. It's not going to help everyone, but it'll go a long, long way, I have to say, particularly the discretionary fund, to fill some of those gaps for people who've fallen between the stools so far. And I'm certainly speaking to local authority leaders in my area so that they can process the applications quickly and...

11. Debate: Coronavirus (20 Oct 2020)

Mark Drakeford: Llywydd, the Government will not oppose the Plaid Cymru amendments laid to the debate, but, because each of those three amendments contains a mixture of measures, some of which we positively support but others over which we have more hesitation, we will abstain on them this afternoon. On the main issue, however, we are plainly agreed. Adam Price, quoting the TAC report, demonstrated the...

11. Debate: Coronavirus (20 Oct 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: ...if we don't do this: are we prepared to say that we are prepared to sacrifice those people's lives, their actual lives? Well, I don't know about other Members in this place, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has written many letters in the past few months that I never wanted to write, to people in my region who have lost their loved ones, and that's what we're talking about today....

11. Debate: Coronavirus (20 Oct 2020)

Huw Irranca-Davies: ...communities that we represent. And I commend the leadership that is being shown by the First Minister and by Welsh Government, represented by my own party of Welsh Labour, of course, but also with representation from the Welsh Liberal Democrats and an independent member of the Government, who have come to a difficult but collective decision on the best way forward for Wales and the people...

5. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport: Funding for Buses (20 Oct 2020)

Mick Antoniw: ..., go around every single potential stop there could be, to get you to work on time as efficiently as possible. And the other issue is, of course, as I'm sure many of the Senedd Members have had, representations from people going to work who have difficulties accessing buses at the right time, going early enough, able to get them back, to fit in with the nature of a lot of work—a lot of...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition (in respect of his law officer responsibilities): The Devolution of Justice (20 Oct 2020)

Jeremy Miles: The Welsh Government has made, and continues to make, representations to the UK Government on issues relating to the justice system, including, importantly, the devolution of justice to Wales.
