2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (21 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: Well, follow that, isn't it? Clee Tomkinson Francis estate agents recently put out an ad in my region for a private rental, and I'm sure many have seen it, including the words, 'No pets' and 'No DSS' in the same sentence. I know that other people have been putting similar such adverts around on Facebook, but that's in their private capacity. Do you agree with me that that's something that's...

4. The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations 2018 (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: Will you take an intervention?

4. The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations 2018 (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: What we heard from one member of the committee, Siân Gwenllian, was that it was possible to give that flexibility about how that standard would be implemented. So, you could then place a standard on Gwynedd, whereas Blaenau Gwent might take more time to reach that particular standard. If there isn't a standard, then the obligation isn't perhaps as strong—if that standard isn't in place.

4. The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations 2018 (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: We did ask those who appeared before the committee about that particular idea, but we haven't had sufficient time to scrutinise that effectively. But I think that is something that we have raised, as something that could be considered. I have a little bit of time remaining. So, it's a matter for the Government to bring forward standards that can be applied sensibly to primary care and to...

4. The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations 2018 (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: I thought it was a statement. Sorry.

4. The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations 2018 (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: It's a debate now.

4. The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations 2018 (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. These regulations are clearly a very important part of the Welsh language standards system introduced by the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011. The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee agreed that it was important that the regulations should be scrutinised as carefully as possible, with an opportunity for stakeholders to submit written evidence...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: I wanted to ask for a ministerial statement in relation to what’s happening with the private sector’s involvement in the safety of flats that come under the aluminium composite material scenario. I know that the Westminster Government is looking into this situation, but when we received evidence to the committee chaired by John Griffiths, it became clear that much of the private sector...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Hospital Waiting Times (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: They're happy to share. 

1. Questions to the First Minister: Hospital Waiting Times (20 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: People not turning up to out-patient appointments has a direct effect on ambulances and their capacity to turn up on time. Just in the last few hours, I've had a story from a constituent whereby they contacted the ambulance service at 10 o'clock one evening in Maesteg, it was categorised as a red risk of a heart attack because of the stress on that constituent, who has already had various...

12. Short Debate: The importance of early language development: current action on this key issue and what more needs to be done to drive forward change in Wales (14 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: When you say people should be school-ready, what I'm hearing from people in schools is that people are arriving at school without being able to read on any level, and many parents not communicating with children as they potentially would have, because of new technology. It does help, in many instances, with reading, but often it militates against their development. What are you doing to try...

8. Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: Estate Management Companies (14 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you, and thank you to Hefin for bringing this, and for your passion; I feel it loud and clear, and I'm glad that you have brought this here today. In recent weeks, we've been exploring some of the problems with leasehold contracts and unadopted roads, so it's logical that we're now moving on to the problems created by so-called 'fleecehold' arrangements, as you mentioned, service...

3. Topical Questions: Islamaphobia (14 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you for that response. It was tricky whether to ask this question, because, of course, you raise awareness of the fact that these people exist and that they have such hate in their souls. I think the best response has been the Love a Muslim day on 3 April, which has been promoted to oppose the Punish a Muslim day. In my response, I said that I love a Muslim every day as I recently...

2. Questions to the Counsel General: The Commission on Justice in Wales (14 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: The First Minister has said that he wants a different justice system for Wales, in an answer given over the past few weeks, but the Government policy isn't clear on new prisons here in Wales. The First Minister tends to be more willing to accept that than the new Minister, Alun Davies. What discussions has the commission had in the context of the fact that, if there were to be a new prison...

3. Topical Questions: Islamaphobia (14 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: 1. Will the Leader of the House make a statement on Welsh Government plans to tackle Islamophobia and improve community cohesion in light of the 'Punish a Muslim' letters that have come to light recently? 155

7. Debate on the Petition calling on the Welsh Government to ban the use of Wild Animals in Circuses in Wales ( 7 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: This is an issue that is close to my heart. I've tried to make an effort in my time here in the Assembly, and particularly over the last year or two, in drawing attention to these issues. This is in part because, just as it is close to my heart, it's also close to the heart of the vast majority of people in this country. How we treat animals is a reflection of who we are as a society and as a...

6. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Criminal Justice ( 7 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: And I would agree with you on that, and I think that's what I was coming onto, as Jenny has mentioned earlier: where we can, try and put policies in place so that they are not put into prison, and whether they're in different types of centres that are developed here in Wales is something that I know you and others—in Plaid especially—have been advocating for many years, and especially...

6. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Criminal Justice ( 7 Mar 2018)

Bethan Sayed: Plaid Cymru ultimately believes, with many of these points on this motion, that they won't have a realistic chance of being brought forward until we have proper criminal justice devolution and we can develop a distinct Welsh criminal jurisdiction. I would argue that this is becoming more and more imperative, in part because, as we pass more and more distinct Welsh legislation—particularly...
