1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 9 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Diolch, Llywydd. Following the Cabinet Secretary's forward-looking statement yesterday about life after Brexit and an agricultural policy tailor-made for Wales, I'd like to ask her whether she will continue to be open minded on the question of introducing a ban on the live export of animals. I know she's said this in the past, but, if there were to be such a ban, it would not extend to...

6. Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: The Future of Land Management ( 8 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Thank you, Llywydd. It's always a pleasure to be called by you. I hope it'll bring joy to the heart of the Cabinet Secretary when I say I could have written this statement myself, because I agree with every single word of it. I think it's a practical, forward-looking and optimistic statement. Of course, I recognise that, at this early stage, she can't give a great deal of detail about how...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Questions Without Notice from the Party Leaders ( 8 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Well, all I can say is, having looked at the various materials that are used in teaching these courses, they're all from a centre-left disposition. Now, we can all—[Interruption.] Well, matter of fact—and I think the false indignation coming from the other side proves the point that I'm trying to make here, that, because they control the education system, it is being used as a tool of...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Questions Without Notice from the Party Leaders ( 8 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Well, that is a debatable point in itself, I believe—it's not one I'm going to pursue at this minute, but, to take the wider point that the First Minister has raised, yes, I do agree that the Welsh baccalaureate course might have some use beyond formal learning in classrooms, making students think about wider issues in the world. That, in itself, could be a good thing. It depends on how...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Questions Without Notice from the Party Leaders ( 8 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Diolch, Llywydd. The Welsh Government remains committed to the universal adoption of the Welsh baccalaureate, but the elite universities don't seem to be terribly interested in it as a qualification, indeed the top three universities don't require it at all. I've been written to by a school student who says that the Welsh bac is a burden for students and teachers alike and the work is tedious...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister ( 8 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Will the First Minister make a statement on Welsh Government support for hospitals in Mid and West Wales?

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: In an aid debate last year, you described us as rabid dogs.

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: —can be disparaging and offensive—

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: I will wind up, Deputy Presiding Officer. But is it any more disparaging and offensive than Joyce Watson, for example, in this Chamber describing UKIP Members as rabid dogs—

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: I'm on my last couple of sentences.

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Is it any worse than Leanne Wood falsely describing me as a Holocaust denier—a most grotesque libel upon me? It seems to me that the indignation of the Labour group is highly subjective, and on those grounds I would urge the Assembly not to approve this motion.

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: —by pretty senior members of that party. Yes, the word 'coconut'—

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: I don't think it would be profitable, Madam Deputy—I nearly said 'Deputy Speaker'—Deputy Presiding Officer, if I were to give way at this point. I believe that what the temporary Chairman of the committee said is a serious matter: that the code of conduct applies to Members at all times, in their public and their private lives, in all circumstances. This, I believe, is a startling and...

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: —of listening to what I have to say—

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: —particularly as nobody else is likely to make these points. In this case, the position is even worse because the conversation was clandestinely recorded by somebody who was at the time a close personal friend, but in due course became Michelle Brown's chief of staff, who was then subsequently sacked for gross misconduct, including breach of confidence, and he maliciously published the...

6. Debate on the Standards of Conduct Committee's Report 01-18 to the Assembly under Standing Order 22.9 ( 2 May 2018)

Mr Neil Hamilton: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I regret that I'm not able to approve the motion before the Assembly this afternoon. It troubles me on several levels. In particular, we are not a self-selecting club in this Assembly with complete freedom to impose terms of membership upon it. We derive our right to sit here not from the approbation of our peers. [Interruption.] Kindly listen to what I'm...

Advanced search

Find this exact word or phrase

You can also do this from the main search box by putting exact words in quotes: like "cycling" or "hutton report"

By default, we show words related to your search term, like “cycle” and “cycles” in a search for cycling. Putting the word in quotes, like "cycling", will stop this.

Excluding these words

You can also do this from the main search box by putting a minus sign before words you don’t want: like hunting -fox

We also support a bunch of boolean search modifiers, like AND and NEAR, for precise searching.

Date range

to

You can give a start date, an end date, or both to restrict results to a particular date range. A missing end date implies the current date, and a missing start date implies the oldest date we have in the system. Dates can be entered in any format you wish, e.g. 3rd March 2007 or 17/10/1989

Person

Enter a name here to restrict results to contributions only by that person.

Section

Restrict results to a particular parliament or assembly that we cover (e.g. the Scottish Parliament), or a particular type of data within an institution, such as Commons Written Answers.

Column

If you know the actual Hansard column number of the information you are interested in (perhaps you’re looking up a paper reference), you can restrict results to that; you can also use column:123 in the main search box.
