6. 2. Business Statement and Announcement (29 Nov 2016)

Lynne Neagle: In March 2015, the UK Government passed under section 67 of the Serious Crime Act 2015 a law that made it a criminal offence for an adult to send a sexual communication to a child. This Assembly passed a legislative consent motion to enable that the previous month. However, over a year and a half later, this law, which could help police and stop potential groomers in their tracks, has still...

6. 6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Older People (16 Nov 2016)

Lynne Neagle: It does have to be led from the ground up, but I also think that if you’ve got systems in place like the need for support workers and targets for diagnosis rates, those have to be driven by Government, and I look forward to hearing form Welsh Government how that strategy will go from being a document on paper to something that actually transforms the lives of people with dementia and their...

6. 6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Older People (16 Nov 2016)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Presiding Officer, for the opportunity to speak in this debate today. The rights and support for people with dementia is a subject very close to my heart, and I welcome the opportunity to focus on it again today.

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>The Benefit Cap (Torfaen)</p> ( 8 Nov 2016)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you, First Minister. Unfortunately, yesterday’s extension of the benefits cap will, I believe, ensure that more children are pushed into poverty by the Tories’ welfare reforms. The figures that you have given are absolutely correct—£58 per week is a significant sum of money and there are some 516 children who are in households that are affected. A number of those families are...

But I was absolutely delighted that you were able to make that...
