Lesley Griffiths: ...a number of sub-groups straight after the referendum back in June 2016—I'm trying to think now. One of the stakeholder sub-groups relates specifically to our seas and coasts and it includes broad representation from the relevant sectors, so the seas and coasts sub-group plays a key role in helping us identify our priorities for managing our seas in a sustainable way, following our exit...
Joyce Watson: ...Melding here is the data deficiency, and they are hugely important. If we're going to truly say that we know the state of our marine environment, we have to have the data that backs it up. I've had representations, the same as others have here, where organisations were dutifully collecting data, but their funding was removed or reduced to such a degree that they've no longer been able to...
Hefin David: ...is developed in areas like Bargoed and further north, and moving away from those already congested areas. And the Cabinet Secretary for environment is here, and she will know that I've made those representations to her on many an occasion. Therefore, the strategic hub must enable the latter and guard against the former. If we can improve transport links, then I think that begins to answer...
Carwyn Jones: We'll be fully involved in the UK-wide celebrations of the one hundredth anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918. More details about how we will mark that centenary throughout the course of this year will be made available this month.
Ken Skates: ...Kidz who brought forward an important petition regarding this very significant piece of work. There are people the length and breadth of Wales who often lack a voice, but nonetheless require strong representation. Disabled people require Government to operate in a way that gives them more connective opportunities. I think it's absolutely right that I bring forward this policy statement...
Alun Davies: ...has lived up to his hopes, placing the sustainable development principle at the heart of its approach. It has involved the widest possible range of stakeholders, aided by an oversight group with representation from local government, fire and rescue services, police and crime commissioners, the Youth Justice Board Cymru, police chiefs, probation and prison services, the third sector and UK...
Carwyn Jones: ...wrong with that. It's hugely important that those inquiries now are able to get on with their work. If people are serious about engaging with those inquiries then, of course, they should make their representations to the people running them.
Leanne Wood: What representations has the Welsh Government made recently regarding the devolution of the criminal justice system?
Janet Finch-Saunders: ...instances of undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. This has been supported in evidence received by the Petitions Committee from Diabetes UK, the children and young people's Wales diabetes network, through representation from Dr Christopher Bidder, whose letter is supported by a number of health boards, as well as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. The Royal College of Nursing has...
David Melding: ...level of democracy would also help to refresh municipal government in general. Other public agencies, like NHS trusts, could also use this source of public participation. Deputy Presiding Officer, representational democracy thrived on the excitement of electing society’s leaders; it was an incredible transformation away from aristocratic Government in the nineteenth century, but it also...
Suzy Davies: ...industry in Wales, despite comments from Welsh Government to that effect. I'm raising it in an attempt to break through the lack of transparency surrounding how some decisions were made and whether representations made by Welsh Government about the positive outcomes we should expect from Pinewood in particular are proving justified. So, first of all, last month, Welsh Government's decision...
Julie James: ... to fibre broadband to see what we can do with combination technologies, and a very large part of this will be what the UK Government does with the spectrum sales. So, we'll be making a lot of representations to the UK that they shouldn't regard 5G as a cash cow, but should actually think about what part of infrastructure it might play in public roll-out of some of the new artificial...
Siân Gwenllian: ...reform in the area of local government in Wales, but they were very disappointed to see that there was no mention at all in the consultation paper about the Government’s attempts to ensure fair representation for women in elected roles upon councils in Wales. Of course, political parties have a responsibility to ensure that there is fair representation of women and minority groups on...
Mark Isherwood: Thank you. And, finally, on this theme, in fact, the Haven of Light organised a conference in St Asaph cathedral, which I took part in on 28 October, with police representation, local authorities, voluntary sector and others presenting. The Salvation Army told us that seventh out of the 94 nationalities they worked with were British victims, people who originated within the United Kingdom and...
Andrew RT Davies: ...Government brought forward the national public procurement framework, which was to allow smaller businesses, obviously, to get a greater share of the public procurement pie. I've received many representations that businesses have found this procurement network very cumbersome, and I think Government Ministers have indicated that it hasn't been the success that, obviously, it was desired...
Hefin David: Well, that's not a responsible representation of what I said, and what I said is: we are operating within a UK Government budget context in which it has cut back mercilessly, and those merciless cuts have fed back to the Welsh Government. I think that Nick Ramsay knows very well that's exactly what I just said. I will be supporting this budget this afternoon, because I have every confidence...
Julie James: ...people and people with particular problems in mobility and so on about their banking. There is an arrangement in place with Post Office Counters, in actual fact, to do some banking, and we've made representations to them, I know, in my previous role, about ensuring that the Post Office Counters staff have the right training and that there are appropriate premises in which to conduct what...
Mick Antoniw: ...an industry that’s getting concerned—a £37 billion industry—and we need to be very alert. This is very similar to what happened with the tobacco industry, and we will have similar sorts of representations about how it’s really about fair lobbying, just as in America it’s all about fair gun control and so on. So, that’s important. Our concern is, of course, that we’ve got to...
Mike Hedges: Can I remind Members how overwhelmingly the alternative vote form of proportional representation was rejected in the referendum, and how the single transferable vote is based on 'guess how many seats you can win'? Will the Welsh Government legislate that a supermajority vote by councillors and councils of two thirds will be necessary if councils want to change their voting system?
David Melding: ...before abolition comes into effect. Other respondents, including Shelter Cymru, stressed that more consideration should be given to this issue of equity. The Welsh Government has conceded that representations have been received from individual tenants, and I know we all can appreciate that because we've received many responses as well from concerned constituents. Indeed, the Cabinet...
