2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill (25 Jan 2023)

Rhys ab Owen: Diolch yn fawr. I'm not quite sure why those hadn't been grouped together. Of course, this Bill does extend to Wales and, as you suggested, grants sweeping powers to the Secretary of State in Whitehall. At length in the previous Bill, safety was discussed; well, safety has been removed completely. Public safety has been removed completely from this Bill. A Secretary of State sitting in...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: UK COVID-19 Public Inquiry (25 Jan 2023)

Rhys ab Owen: If I could draw Members' attention to my declaration of interest. Of the 12 King's Counsel appointed and the 50 junior barristers appointed to the UK COVID inquiry, not one is based in Wales. That, of course, is not the position for Scotland or Northern Ireland. They would never put up with that, would they, Cwnsler Cyffredinol? Wales, once again, seems to be the forgotten nation—surely...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Tourism (14 Dec 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog. Cardiff docks made Cardiff into a capital city by exporting coal to the whole world. Today, we are fortunate to welcome people back to Cardiff Bay, and it's a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. I've received a number of complaints that we're not maximising the potential of Cardiff Bay. The impression given to tourists enjoying the boardwalk around the...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Reform of Welsh Tribunals ( 7 Dec 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Thank you very much, Counsel General. Many people say that there is no justice jurisdiction in Wales. Well, that's not true. There is a small justice jurisdiction in Wales, which is through the tribunals system. Given that it's a year since the publication of the Law Commission's report on how to improve the Welsh tribunals, and given it's entirely within the powers of the Welsh Government to...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Devolution of Justice ( 7 Dec 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Diolch yn fawr, Cwnsler Cyffredinol. We've had the tenth Lord Chancellor in 12 years; I think beforehand we had 10 in half a century. But the opinion polls consistently suggest that, after the next general election, there'll be a Labour Lord Chancellor in Westminster. As was highlighted yesterday, in the 2017 Labour Westminster manifesto, it supported full devolution of justice. In 2019 that...

Group 2: Electronic cigarettes (Amendments 6, 9, 10, 7, 8) ( 6 Dec 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. I have nothing much to add to what I've already said following the comments of the Minister. I'm grateful that she will make further considerations following my amendments. Diolch yn fawr.

Group 2: Electronic cigarettes (Amendments 6, 9, 10, 7, 8) ( 6 Dec 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd, and I'd like to move amendments 6 and 10 on e-cigarettes. And I'd like also to thank constituents for raising this particular issue with me. It appears that this is an emerging litter trend in single-use vapes, which are not only made out of plastic, but also contain batteries with evaluative harmful chemicals and even pose a fire risk. Each disposable vape comes with...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Wales as a Nation of Sanctuary ( 6 Dec 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Diolch yn fawr, Prif Weinidog. Your Government, in response to the fifth Senedd committee inquiry into freedom of movement after Brexit, said that 'if the UK Government's future immigration policy does not address the economic, demographic and social needs of Wales then we will further explore options for a spatially-differentiated immigration policy after Brexit'. As you're aware, Prif...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The Future of St David's Hall (29 Nov 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: Thank you, First Minister. I know from your appearance on Beti a'i Phobol that you are very musical yourself. I also know, having been in university with the leader of Cardiff Council, that he's a talented musician too. As you will know as a musician, musical education and experiences are crucially important, and, as a national concert hall for Wales, St David's Hall has provided excellent...

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Building Safety Act 2022 (16 Nov 2022)

Rhys ab Owen: I'm pleased to speak in this debate that calls to strengthen residents' rights in Wales. I'm also pleased that the building safety is a key component of the co-operation agreement between the Government and Plaid Cymru. Following a recent meeting with concerned residents, I tabled a written question to the Minister about enacting sections 116 to 125. The reason those sections haven't been...
