8. 8. Debate: The Children's Commissioner for Wales's Annual Report 2015-16 (15 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Firstly, can I join everybody else in thanking the Children’s Commissioner for Wales and her staff for presenting us with such a comprehensive report? Again, like others, she should be applauded, I think, for the wide-scale consultation undertaken by her and her staff, having met with the thousands of children, parents and professionals that she did. The report does cover several...

6. 6. Statement: Winter Preparedness (15 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his comprehensive statement, which is very welcome? I do think it shows that the Government has given much thought and consideration to the issue, because it is evident. There are a whole variety of factors that impact on the preparedness of health and social services to cope with those additional winter pressures, and...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>The Tourism Investment Support Scheme</p> ( 9 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Yes, I’m coming to the question. I realise that TISS is a scheme based on the funder of last resort and, you know, after all others have been exhausted, and I know that it’s only limited to £0.5 million and it mostly covers projects around accommodation, activity and restaurants and so on—

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>The Tourism Investment Support Scheme</p> ( 9 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: The question is: can the Cabinet Secretary advise me whether there is flexibility within the rules governing the scheme that would allow access to funding that could assist with some minor heritage projects that couldn’t attract any other funding, but which, if developed, could help to draw people into the town?

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>The Tourism Investment Support Scheme</p> ( 9 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Cabinet Secretary, from previous contributions I’ve made on this subject you’ll know of my personal interest in raising awareness of the industrial and social heritage of Merthyr Tydfil, in particular, and I’ve been working with the council, discussing options for developing these into significant tourism opportunities. Indeed, last week I was pleased to address Merthyr’s heritage and...

9. 8. Statement: Marking Remembrance Day and Supporting our Armed Forces Community ( 8 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, but actually Bethan Jenkins has already asked the question I was going to ask in terms of the issue around FIFA, and I think the Cabinet Secretary has responded to that. But, while I’m on my feet, I would like to just add my congratulations to D.J. Rees Decorating Services of Merthyr, which won the gold award for supporting the employability of our armed...

3. Urgent Question: 2 Sisters Food Group ( 2 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your response because it certainly was with considerable shock that we learned about this announcement only yesterday afternoon, and we know that we’re now starting a 45-day statutory consultation process. It was only earlier this week that I was at a conference, speaking at the Bevan Foundation, on the living wage, when I was talking about the signs of...

2. 2. Questions to the Counsel General: <p>Article 50 and the Devolution Settlement</p> ( 2 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Counsel General. You will be aware of the ongoing High Court action in respect of article 50. What steps has he taken to ensure that Welsh interests are being protected in respect of this action?

2. 2. Questions to the Counsel General: <p>Article 50 and the Devolution Settlement</p> ( 2 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: 3. What assessment has the Counsel General made of the implications of triggering article 50 on the devolution settlement? OAQ(4)0007(CG)

3. Urgent Question: 2 Sisters Food Group ( 2 Nov 2016)

Dawn Bowden: What is the Welsh Government’s response to the announcement that 350 jobs are at risk due to the decision of 2 Sisters Food Group to move all its retail services from Merthyr Tydfil to Cornwall? EAQ(5)0065(EI)

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government: <p>The Real Living Wage </p> (19 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your response. Recent research by Middlesex University and the University of Liverpool showed a clear case in support of the real living wage, as opposed to, of course, the Tories’ phony living wage, with businesses who are paying it experiencing fewer employee disputes, an increase in productivity and staff motivation, and reputational and corporate brand...

1. 1. The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster (19 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Diolch, Lywydd. Nine-fifteen a.m., Friday 21 October 1966—the terrible events visited on Aberfan that day reverberated around the world. On the last day of the school term, one small mining village lost 116 children and 28 adults. Nothing would ever be the same for Aberfan, for Wales, for the world. Just one day later, just one hour earlier, things would have been so different. Aberfan was...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government: <p>The Real Living Wage </p> (19 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: 6. Will the Minister make a statement on the real living wage in the Welsh public sector? OAQ(5)0037(FLG)

QNR: Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government (19 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Will the Minister make a statement on the trade union bill?

5. 4. Plaid Cymru Debate: Mental Health (12 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: I think much has already been said very powerfully in this debate, and covered, so I’m not going to touch on those areas that have already been covered. I want to confine my comments, quite briefly, to support for mental health in the workplace. Could I start by commending the intent behind this motion from Plaid Cymru? But I believe the third proposal of the motion is a diversion away...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children: <p>Homelessness</p> (12 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for that response. I’m certainly pleased to learn that those bodies and organisations responsible for addressing homelessness in Wales have given positive feedback on the results of the changes brought about under the Housing (Wales) Act 2014. For my part, I’m certainly encouraged by how these initiatives have assisted me in supporting constituents faced with...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs: <p>The Great Welsh Outdoors</p> (12 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her response previously on this? The active travel plan, which I referred to yesterday, in fact, in relation to road safety around schools, also places an expectation on local authorities in Wales to start drawing up maps of proposed new networks for walking and cycling routes. In Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, as you probably know, there are already...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children: <p>Homelessness</p> (12 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: 13. Will the Minister make a statement on tackling homelessness in Wales? OAQ(5)0046(CC)

8. 7. Debate: Tackling Hate Crime — Progress and Challenges (11 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for bringing forward this particular motion, which I think is well timed, given where we are this week? No doubt a good proportion of what we are going to hear today will be related to hate crime post Brexit. We’ve heard some of that already. But we shouldn’t forget that hate crime does include attacks—as we’ve already heard—based on gender,...

4. 3. Statement: Resilient Communities (11 Oct 2016)

Dawn Bowden: I think I agree with much of what’s been said by many of my colleagues, so I don’t want to repeat that and prolong it—

Advanced search

Find this exact word or phrase

You can also do this from the main search box by putting exact words in quotes: like "cycling" or "hutton report"

By default, we show words related to your search term, like “cycle” and “cycles” in a search for cycling. Putting the word in quotes, like "cycling", will stop this.

Excluding these words

You can also do this from the main search box by putting a minus sign before words you don’t want: like hunting -fox

We also support a bunch of boolean search modifiers, like AND and NEAR, for precise searching.

Date range

to

You can give a start date, an end date, or both to restrict results to a particular date range. A missing end date implies the current date, and a missing start date implies the oldest date we have in the system. Dates can be entered in any format you wish, e.g. 3rd March 2007 or 17/10/1989
