1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: <p>Touch Rugby</p> ( 2 Nov 2016)

Neil McEvoy: 4. Will the Minister make a statement on the promotion of touch rugby in schools? OAQ(5)0048(EDU).

7. 3. Business Statement and Announcement ( 1 Nov 2016)

Neil McEvoy: ...make a statement of support for Bashir, his family, his friends. Bashir came to Wales and lived in Ely very happily for years, integrated very well, went to Mary Immaculate Roman Catholic high school, and I really would like the Welsh Government to stand up for this person who is a Welshman. That should be recognised and we should make the Home Office listen and, I’d say, keep their...

10. 9. Short Debate: Bringing Lobbying in Wales Out into the Open (19 Oct 2016)

Neil McEvoy: ...concern, because we cannot take things for granted, and we cannot ignore the Bay bubble lobbying culture.

His parents ran the Bute Dock Tavern, just down the road on Bute Street, and he went on to...

10. 10. UKIP Wales Debate: Grammar Schools (21 Sep 2016)

Neil McEvoy: No, I won’t. No. The whole thing about education in Wales is that, for me, it’s too politicised, and I think what I would like to see, really, is an all-party commission for education that is looking 20 years ahead, because everything in Wales today is very, very short term. If you look at Finland—. Well, the education Secretary is shaking her head; I don’t know why. Everything is...

10. 10. UKIP Wales Debate: Grammar Schools (21 Sep 2016)

Neil McEvoy: Some interesting turns of phrase then. I think the Labour Party did abolish grammar schools when the Labour Party was a Labour Party. I’m not sure what it is now. In terms of the debate, grammar schools are clearly a bad idea. They’re divisive; you write people off at the age of 11. The evidence is there that the system didn’t work, but that’s not to say that what we have today is...
