7. Debate: Probation Service Reform (23 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Sorry—Cabinet Secretary. Just on your last point there regarding encouraging offenders to take up skills that will help them after prison, I recently attended a Careers Wales event in co-ordination with Prescoed prison, which was to have a careers fair actually within the prison within the last months of the offenders' sentences, so that once they came out of prison they would have jobs to...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (23 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Diolch, Llywydd. Leader of the house, I wonder if we can have an update from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services on the uptake and availability of this year's flu vaccine? I know that many AMs have been involved with the programme since they came to the Assembly. I've been contacted by a constituent from Chepstow, who made an appointment with his local GP to go and receive...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (23 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: What progress is the Welsh Government making in improving transport infrastructure in Monmouthshire?

6. Debate on the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee report: Industry 4.0 — The Future of Wales (17 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Thanks for giving way. You've mentioned key components of this new economy—broadband, electric trains. I think this is a good time to plug the electric car infrastructure as well. I know it's not totally related to this, but, at the same time, that is all part of networks. We know that, at the moment, Wales is needing to play catch-up in terms of getting that electrical car charging...

2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services: Pre-exposure Prophylaxis and HIV Prevention (17 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Can I concur with Dai Lloyd's comments and also welcome the news that the trials appear to have been successful? It seems a long time since those diagnosed with HIV, back when the condition first became known about back in the 1980s, didn't really have any hope. So, the fact that we are now not just having treatment drugs but preventative drugs like this must be welcomed. From my...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (16 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Leader of the house, winter is approaching and as sure as night follows day, the A4042—I'll watch my turn of phrase in future—a key north-south strategic route through my constituency, has once again been closed at Llanellen, due to flooding—a common problem. Could I ask for an update from the Welsh Government as to where we are with improving this stretch of road? I know there have...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Public Transport (16 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: First Minister, I'd like to focus on disabled access to public transport, and specifically the ongoing lack of access at Abergavenny station. You mentioned the rail network and the importance of that and the new franchise. We didn't get very far under the old Arriva south Wales border franchise in dealing with problems of the lack of disabled access, much to the frustration of local people in...

12. Short Debate: Newport: economy, infrastructure and opportunities (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: You know, Cabinet Secretary, what I'm going to mention, as I mentioned it earlier with the finance Secretary, and I have done so with you previously, and that's the Chepstow bypass. That's an example of where cross-border co-operation isn't just important but absolutely vital. So, I hope that you will progress that, because if we can solve the congestion problems within Chepstow and there's...

2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: Superfast Broadband in Monmouth (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: That was the Monmouth constituency, as you rightly judged again, leader of the house. I've spoken to a number of residents recently who were at the public meeting that you attended a couple of weeks ago in Llanddewi Rhydderch, in a very rural part of my constituency. As you will be aware—it was along with the local county councillor, Sara Jones, I should say. As you are aware, there is a...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: We are where we are now, Cabinet Secretary. If I can just pick up on the last part of your comments there, and looking to the future, and turning to the immediate future arrangements for procurement, you stated, and you've reiterated again, that following the announcement that the NPS would be wound down over time, a smaller operation would then be set up to manage a reduced portfolio of...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. You clearly knew there were problems because you did order that review, and of course it's not just me who's being critical, it's the auditor general as well, who found that public bodies only spent £150 million with NPS in 2015-16 and £234 million the year after that. In addition, although the NPS made savings for the councils and other organisations that...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Diolch. Cabinet Secretary, I'd like to ask you about procurement. When the National Procurement Service was first created back in 2013, your predecessor, the Minister Jane Hutt, described the NPS as a 'very Welsh way to meet Welsh business needs but also value for money for the Welsh pound'. Since then, however, the NPS has made significant losses and has had to be bailed out by Ministers,...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Welsh Government Spending for 2019-20 in Monmouth (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Diolch, Cabinet Secretary, and you got the fact that I meant the constituency and not the town of Monmouth, as I assumed you would. Leaving aside whether or not Councillor Peter Fox wants to live in Wales or England, which does creep up in this Chamber every so often, I'm sure you'd agree with me—and certainly Peter Fox has said to me—that he would like Monmouthshire to get a bigger...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Welsh Government Spending for 2019-20 in Monmouth (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: 2. Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on Welsh Government spending for 2019-20 in Monmouth? OAQ52709

2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: Superfast Broadband in Monmouth (10 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: 1. Will the Leader of the House provide an update on superfast broadband in Monmouth? OAQ52708

10. Short Debate: See differently — Living with sight loss in Wales today ( 3 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: For people living with sight loss, it can impact on every aspect of life—physical and mental health, the ability to live independently, to find or keep a job, their family and social life. Timely access to support from social services is critical to help mitigate the impact of sight loss. Rehabilitation is a specialist service that helps a person with sight loss to adapt to the world around...

10. Short Debate: See differently — Living with sight loss in Wales today ( 3 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Diolch, Dirprwy Llywydd. I've agreed to give Dai Lloyd a minute of my time during this debate. This video that you've just seen, produced by the Royal National Institute of Blind People, is from the How I See campaign and raises a number of issues that I wish to put before you today.  Sight is often cited as the sense that people would be most afraid of losing, and it can be tough. From...

2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services: Preventing Electrical Fires ( 3 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Joyce Watson has covered most of the bases of this question with her supplementary question. I've also read the same report and I think it was interesting if you look at what is not causing this rise in domestic fires as much as what is causing it—e-cigarettes have been ruled out, an ageing population has been ruled out, and smoking. So, it's a very specific increase, from a low base...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: The 2030 Carbon Reduction Target ( 3 Oct 2018)

Nick Ramsay: Cabinet Secretary, an area where you do have power over is that of the infrastructure for charging electric vehicles—an issue that I raised with you last week and I'd like to return to. I recently visited the site of a proposed electric charging station adjacent to the A40 in Monmouth. The plan also, critically, includes two small-scale on-site power plants, so that the electricity that...

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.
