Julie James: ...£23.6 million as a result of the Welsh Government's final budget allocations. This includes £13 million to support local services overall, recognising the responses to the consultation and the representations made by Assembly Members; £1.2 million to provide an improved settlement floor; £7 million a year recurrently to support the increase to the capital limit in charging for...
Adam Price: ...UK Government has benefited from £8 billion from this surplus, at a rate of £1 million a day. Steffan was a champion of the cause of mineworkers, supporting their petition and making countless representations to the UK Government. The Minister of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said in July last year that she would explore options for the future of the scheme, with...
Mohammad Asghar: Undoubtedly, we live in a world where most of us cannot even function without our phones, tablets, laptops or PCs. I will admit I am not the most IT-savvy person on the planet, but I do know that the world is progressing at such a rapid speed and pace that we all here in Wales must keep up with it. Are we really doing it? You may remember that one of the arguments put forward in favour of...
Kirsty Williams: ...of the teachers who can decide what is best for them and their learners, and also in the numbers that work best for the school too—pupils can be assessed individually or in small groups. We have not designed these assessments in isolation. We have learned from the best with an expert group, including representation from Denmark and the Netherlands, providing advice throughout. This has...
Leanne Wood: ...too strong even for RNLI boats to be launched into. Apart from wanting to publicise the petition calling for positive action with regard to this case—and I'm aware, of course, that immigration is not devolved—I'd like to know the extent to which the Welsh Government can make representations to Westminster on these matters. Will you be prepared to work with charities that assist...
Rebecca Evans: ...on Christmas Day, I was in contact with the First Minister, expressing my concerns as a constituency Member on Christmas Eve, and I know that many Members of the Assembly have been making representations very strongly to the Home Office on a number of issues. The fact that Otis is very much a valued member of the community in Swansea—he's a volunteer, he's very active in his local...
Mark Drakeford: ...of Wales in the Brexit context. I know that he has seen 'Brexit and our land', and very many people have responded to that policy. The Minister Lesley Griffiths at this point is reviewing all the representations made and she will publish a report on people's comments on 'Brexit and our land' in the spring. For the first time this afternoon, Llywydd, I will have to say that I am not...
Caroline Jones: Leader of the house, I have received representations from constituents expressing dismay about their inability to travel on public transport with friends, because they all need wheelchair spaces. And, if you're lucky, most public transport has one or two spots for wheelchairs. Most of us take for granted the ability to travel together, yet disabled people in Wales are being denied that right....
Julie James: We've been making representations to that effect, and that's a very good example of one of the benefits that the European Union brings—the other one, of course, is roaming right across Europe, which doesn't necessarily happen after Brexit. So, very much as part of our preparedness for it, we are lobbying the UK Government and actually having negotiations with Europe itself about how best to...
Hannah Blythyn: ...our international obligations in respect of an environmental impact assessment. So, officials are currently giving careful consideration to compliance with the EIA directive, taking into account representations from the Member himself and other Members, the developer, and, of course, the Docks Incinerator Action Group.
Jane Hutt: ..., as he has, the latest passenger figures, which show that during the last financial year, total passenger numbers grew year on year by 9 per cent to reach 1.48 million. And also, just to follow up representations that I know you have made consistently, First Minister, to the UK Government regarding devolving air passenger duty—of course, there is cross-party support here for that—it's...
Carwyn Jones: ...Grid on a number of issues, including the proposed north Wales connection project, which is currently going through the development consent Order process. The Welsh Government has submitted its representations to this process.
Alun Davies: ...from the Member for Llanelli she pitted rural against urban. In the past, we have pitted north against south, east against west. I do regret this tendency within our debate, because it does not reflect either the debates that we have with local government, and I do not believe it reflects the reality either. I will say to the Member that the finance sub-group, which provides...
Elin Jones: ...Youth Parliament team at the Assembly. We are very much indebted to everyone who ensured that this project has come to fruition. Over 450 young candidates, almost 25,000 registered to vote, with representation the length and breadth of Wales—the statistics speak volumes about their success.
Julie James: ...worst and most pernicious effects of some of our more draconian immigration rules. If Neil McEvoy wants to write to me with the details and the contact details of the family, I'm very happy to make representations to the immigration Minister on behalf of the family.
Neil McEvoy: ...public has been really generous in supporting the Crowdfunder to buy flights for the family, but the one roadblock is bureaucracy. Safia is a UK citizen, she has a birth certificate, but she does not have a UK passport, and nobody seems able to help with this. The Home Office is not devolved, but communities are devolved. The distress caused by a Welsh girl from Ely stuck abroad is a...
David Rees: ...adviser—Dr Tobias Lock from Edinburgh Law School—who provided a legal analysis of the withdrawal agreement and its implications. That's why that paper is so important for you to read—it is not our view, it is an external's view, without any bias whatsoever, and it is crucial to this debate. I also want to put on record, Llywydd, the excellent work of the Assembly Commission staff, in...
Helen Mary Jones: ...of getting our post-Brexit support for farming—if we do end up with a post Brexit, and I live in hope—the consequences of getting that support wrong could be grave. We are of course not disputing in this part of the Chamber the benefits of using some of the support paid to farming businesses to deliver specific direct public goods, including environmental goods, animal welfare, access...
Jeremy Miles: ...very significant point. As it happens, the UK Government's position in that litigation is that this is a hypothetical, because they have no intention of revoking it, and counsel for the EU made the representation that the article 50 process could not be revoked without the agreement of the other 27 members. He asks about discussions between Governments. As he will appreciate, there is a...
Jeremy Miles: Well, can I associate myself with the comments the Member makes in her question? We have been making representations to the Ministry of Justice in relation to this point in particular. She will want to know that the data that the Ministry of Justice has made available indicates a dramatic fall in legal aid provision in Wales, with 2,440 fewer civil representations in the last year than in...
