5. Topical Questions: The Resignation of the Secretary of State for Wales ( 6 Nov 2019)

Leanne Wood: ...condemnation and immediate disciplinary action by the leadership of the Welsh Tories. Instead, it was followed by the promotion of Ross England as a candidate in a target Assembly seat. We should not forget that at the heart of this story is a woman who will have to live with what was done to her for the rest of her life. There is no way that she should have had to endure a second trial....

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport: Transport Links in South Wales West ( 6 Nov 2019)

Lee Waters: ..., when the electrification of the main line was cancelled, and in the two years since then we've had virtually no communication from the Department for Transport to help us progress this. They've not shared documents with us, and they've not progressed this in the way that they promised us they would when they cancelled the electrification of the main line. I must say also that I'm...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 6 Nov 2019)

Lee Waters: Well, those are probably comments best directed to the leader of Cardiff council. The national development framework is out to consultation, and we look forward to considering all representations as part of that.

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Tackling LGBT Hate Crime (23 Oct 2019)

Mick Antoniw: ...when the National Union of Students Wales was formed, they were one of the bodies that first, actually, went over the barricades in order to take forward the campaign for gay rights then, which was not popular. It was not a welcoming campaign that people approached with open arms. But it was one that I think young people coming up in the 1970s felt was a necessary one that had to be...

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Tackling LGBT Hate Crime (23 Oct 2019)

Helen Mary Jones: Will the Minister take an intervention? I'm really pleased to hear you say that you'll be making those representations. Of course, one of the protected characteristics where violence against the persons holding that protected characteristic is not treated as a hate crime is violence against women. Do you believe that there may be a case? I wouldn't ask you to postpone—I'd ask you to...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (23 Oct 2019)

Helen Mary Jones: I accept what the Minister says, of course, about not wanting to create artificial timelines, but I certainly know that if I was a woman of child-bearing age living in that region, I would want to know that there was a timeline and that at some point I could expect that service to be safe.  I've received representations, and I know that other colleagues have, suggesting to me—well, proving...

1. Questions to the Minister for Education: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (23 Oct 2019)

Kirsty Williams: I've not received any representation from the teaching unions about the specifics that the Member mentions around part-time and flexible working, although workload issues in general are a standing item on the agenda every time I meet with the teaching unions. The flexibility that the Member just highlighted is indeed one of the things that the re-imagining the school day commission is...

1. Questions to the Minister for Education: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (23 Oct 2019)

Mohammad Asghar: ...that one in six teachers would like to reduce their hours and urge secondary school leaders to do more to accommodate teachers who want to work part-time or flexibly. Minister, can I ask what representations you have received on this matter and what guidance you have issued to schools with regard to part-time and flexible working, the lack of which is an important factor in some teachers...

6. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism: Priorities for the Visitor Economy 2020-2025 (22 Oct 2019)

Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas: Well, that’s the etymology of the word. Now, I'm not responsible for what the UK Government does to promote what they describe as 'Great Britain' or for their historic misunderstanding as to the meaning of that phrase. But I will say this: it is clear to me that we need a better understanding of the nature of the UK as a multi-nation state in all material published for this unit of the...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Skills Training (22 Oct 2019)

Mark Drakeford: Well, Llywydd, we work with our local authority colleagues, of course, to make sure that the contribution they can make through their representation at further education, and in the schools that they themselves run, to make sure that the skills agenda is understood and implemented there. It's one of the key things that Government does, Llywydd, to invest in people and to provide them with the...

7. Debate on the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee Report: the Blue Badge Scheme in Wales: Eligibility and Implementation (16 Oct 2019)

Nick Ramsay: Like you and other AMs, I've received many representations on exactly what you just said—that there's an inconsistency across Wales in terms of the applications for the blue badge scheme. So, I thought that the recommendation for putting it on a statutory basis was a very good idea, so I'd also be interested in what response you get to that query.

4. Topical Questions: Hi-Lex (16 Oct 2019)

David Rees: ...one of the problems it's now facing is the loss of customers because of the uncertainty in the automotive sector, particularly Honda closing in Swindon, which is one of its major customers. This is not a situation where a business is actually closing down; the business is transferring to another part of the European Union. It's going to Hungary, and this site will actually close within...

4. Topical Questions: Catalonia (16 Oct 2019)

Mr Neil Hamilton: ...draconian terms of 10 or 12 years merely for holding what is, in effect, a national opinion poll. The one glaring omission that there has been in the answers that we've heard this afternoon is what representations the Welsh Government is going to make to the European Union about the events in Spain? Because, after all, there is in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,...

4. Topical Questions: Catalonia (16 Oct 2019)

Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: The lead for all matters relating to foreign affairs sits with the UK Government. But I have already written to the Foreign Secretary, to ask what representations the UK Government has made to the Spanish Government about the prison sentences handed down to Catalan politicians.

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: The Kurdish Community in Wales (16 Oct 2019)

Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: ...it's clear that we will need more of a say and more of an input into, in particular, trade negotiations and areas where we have devolved responsibility. And, of course, where we have significant representation from other communities around the world living here in Wales, then of course it is absolutely right that they should have a hearing, if possible, within this Chamber as well. 

2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (16 Oct 2019)

Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thank you once again. It is the United Kingdom that takes the lead on foreign affairs, but I have already written to the Foreign Secretary to ask what representation they've made to the Spanish Government about the prison sentences handed down to the Catalan politicians. And my understanding is that we'll be having a further question on this during topical questions.

4. Topical Questions: Catalonia (16 Oct 2019)

Alun Davies: 2. What representations has the Welsh Government made following the imprisonment of Catalonia’s elected political leaders? 352

QNR: Questions to the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language (16 Oct 2019)

Bethan Sayed: What representations has the Welsh Government made to the UK Government in relation to the Israeli settlements in the West Bank?

QNR: Questions to the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language (16 Oct 2019)

Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Welsh Government has not made any representations to the UK Government because the UK’s position on settlements is clear. The UK consider the settlements as illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace, and threaten the physical viability of a two-state solution.

5. Statement by the First Minister: Constitutional Policy (15 Oct 2019)

Mick Antoniw: ...Affairs Committee report, 'UK governance post-Brexit', where one of its key recommendations then was to advocate fundamental reform of the JMC and to recognise the need for collaboration not just between Governments but, importantly, collaboration between Parliaments as well. And, yesterday, we had a round-table, an open and public round-table, of some of the UK's leading constitutional...
