Did you mean representations -taxation?
Rebecca Evans: Thank you very much for that question. I can certainly confirm that the Welsh Government continues to make strong and repeated representations to the UK Government regarding the impact that their welfare reform programme and austerity programme is having on people in receipt of benefits. We are really concerned because, actually, this is just the start. Many people are starting to think,...
Bethan Sayed: ...going to have trouble either renting a home in the first place or risk not having a tenancy renewed because of their work history? So, I wanted to ask you here today whether you'd commit to making representations to UK banks, insurance companies and the private rented sector to attempt to find a way to change this behaviour, and will you make representations to your counterpart in the UK...
David Melding: Can I support Jane Hutt's representations to you that we need an environmental impact assessment? That plea has also been made by the Tory-led Vale of Glamorgan Council. There's complete political unanimity on this. If you go down to Barry and talk to anyone, often the first thing they'll talk about is this incineration plant and its sheer scale. We need that assessment and we need NRW to...
Lesley Griffiths: ..., it's the local authority's responsibility to clean the beaches, and, again, I met with the local councillors and officers, and, again, was very happy that that work was being done. I've received representations from the Lobster Pot, which you're probably aware of, in Church Bay, asking what extra funding can be given. I've passed that on to my colleague Alun Davies. So, I think it's...
Jeremy Miles: ...under the law—something that has become increasingly important since repeated cuts have been made to legal aid and to other services designed to advise those in need of assistance or representation. We are the custodians of the Welsh statute book, made up not only of the laws made by this Assembly and the Welsh Ministers, but also those pre-devolution laws that we have inherited. That...
Gareth Bennett: ...—is that firmly settled in your mind? What if, for instance, there is a strong lobby from various quarters for, let's say, 12 rather than 10? Would you still fairly consider those kinds of representations? There is also the issue of voluntary mergers. You still leave some leeway for mergers to take place on a voluntary basis. But, of course, the problem with that, as we heard earlier, is...
Julie James: ...ends on 5 June. So, we'll be looking carefully at that to make sure that the implications for Wales are well understood and that we can take them into account. But actually, to be honest, we make representations where they don't match up with our policy, so we will be looking at that very carefully as well. But as you can see from these letters coming from the Sheffield area of England,...
Vikki Howells: 7. What legal representations has the Counsel General made on behalf of the Welsh Government in relation to its new economic contract? OAQ51909
Janet Finch-Saunders: ..., overall, the overarching principles of the concerns raised with me were about sustainability, conservation and those kinds of things going forward. Now, throughout these deliberations, a lot of representation was made by volunteers, members of the public and, indeed, the Snowdonia Society, who in themselves are a valuable resource. And I just wondered how you intend to move forward,...
Julie James: Taking those in reverse order: the developer, I understand, has responded to the letter issued by the Welsh Government. Officials are currently considering the representations made before a final decision on the need for an EIA is made. Residents who have been affected by the activities that Jane Hutt has mentioned several times in this Chamber—our advice is for them to raise their concerns...
Mick Antoniw: ..., that sift committee should be made aware of any such regulations at the same time as the House of Commons sifting committee is made aware of them. The National Assembly committee can then make representations to, or advise the House of Commons committee where appropriate. Our report also highlights that other operational matters will need to be considered, particularly in terms of how a...
Llyr Gruffydd: I'm glad to hear that you've made representations to the UK Government. Clearly, UCU has said that their colleagues in many other European countries in post-1992 universities, schools, FE colleges, the NHS and Government all have their pensions underwritten and guaranteed by the state of course, and they're asking why UK pre-1992 universities should have a pension scheme with no Government...
Joyce Watson: ..., we are celebrating the centenary of women getting the vote, but of course it wasn't every woman, was it? Let's be clear. It was those with property and older than 30. So, immediately, we see the Representation of the People Act 1918 deliberately excluding working-class women from voting, and that, in my opinion, set immediately the difference and the fight that women would have to have...
Vikki Howells: ..., noting how far we have come in terms of promoting equal rights and diversity, but also the challenges and barriers we still have to overcome. The year 2018 marks the hundredth anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, so it's perhaps no surprise that LGBT History Month this year explores the role that lesbians and bisexual women played in the votes-for-women campaign....
Vaughan Gething: ...board or the executive team. And that is a proposal that has been well received in the consultation, and I just don't think that's particularly difficult to understand. On your point about board representation and gender and the gender split, actually, as I said earlier, we actually, on a leadership level for chairs and chief executives, do rather well in the health field. A really good...
Jane Hutt: Will the First Minister reflect the needs of farmers in developing countries in representations made by the Welsh Government as part of Brexit negotiations?
Mark Drakeford: ...at the JMC on European negotiations, and is normally represented at the JMC on Europe. That does provide us with an opportunity to discuss directly with UK Ministers the way in which diplomatic representation will be organised the other side of Brexit. We take every opportunity we have to impress on those representatives the need for a UK presence to be genuinely representative of the...
Hannah Blythyn: Thank you for that question. I appreciate the residents' and the Member's concerns, and I recognise the role the Member has played in being involved with making representations on this issue on behalf of her constituents. In terms of the announcement by the future generations commissioner, our guidance in the well-being of future generations Act makes it clear that the Act provides...
Mick Antoniw: ... you see communities beginning to disintegrate because of the unbridled growth of HMOs. Could you outline what the position is with regard to HMOs and what you intend to do in respect of the representations for those communities that are under threat in that particular way?
Carwyn Jones: We have had questions of the Ministry of Justice that have not yet been satisfactorily answered. We have taken no decision on the sale of the land. I know of the representations that have been made. In some ways, the issue is bound up with the commission for justice, in the sense of what should a Welsh penal policy, or a Welsh sentencing policy as well, look like in the future. It's right...
