1. Questions to the First Minister: Waits for NHS Treatment (10 Jan 2023)

Alun Davies: First Minister, do you agree with me that it takes some front for a Conservative to criticise the national health service? One of the issues we've seen over the last decade has been how austerity has ripped the heart out of our public services. Brexit ripped the heart out of our economy. What we need to do to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of Aneurin Bevan establishing the national...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister ( 6 Dec 2022)

Alun Davies: What financial impact has the cost-of-living crisis had on elderly people?

10. Voting Time (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: Oh, come on. We've got to know why the Government can't table business.

10. Voting Time (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: Diolch yn fawr.

10. Voting Time (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: Presiding Officer, I did ask during the debate on that—

8. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Wales COVID-19 inquiry special purpose committee (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: There we are. You've heard the First Minister reply to the debate this afternoon, and I felt he made a very generous proposal in terms of working as a Parliament together on these matters. Would it not now be in the interests of this Parliament for opposition parties to discuss with the First Minister some of the proposals that he's made today, rather than to push this issue this afternoon?...

6. Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report — 'Levelling the playing field: A report on participation in sport and physical activity in disadvantaged areas' (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I accept the point you make about austerity. Clearly, you and I would agree and could spend the rest of the afternoon agreeing on it. But the Welsh Government has responsibilities as well on these matters, and the budgets that we are debating here today are budgets of the Welsh Government, and so I think it is important that the Welsh Government recognises its own role in addressing these...

6. Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report — 'Levelling the playing field: A report on participation in sport and physical activity in disadvantaged areas' (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I'll start my remarks where Tom Giffard left off. I want to thank the committee Chair and the committee secretariat for all the work that they've done in producing this report. It was one of those really enjoyable, actually, committee investigations, because you're always learning things on committees, and listening to the lived experience of different people is always an important part of...

5. Debate on the Finance Committee Report — 'Post-EU funding arrangements' (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I've always stood up—and you, of course, as a Conservative, will be familiar with the work of Edmund Burke, the father of modern Conservatism. And what he said very clearly in his speech to the electors of Bristol is that an elected Member owes his allegiance to the people represented by him, not just by his labour but also by articulating what he believes. And that is what I've done, and I...

5. Debate on the Finance Committee Report — 'Post-EU funding arrangements' (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I'd like to start by very much agreeing with the Welsh Liberal Democrats on rejoining the single market and the customs union. I think the damage done by Brexit is going to be a disaster not just for our generation but for future generations, and I hope that all political parties will recognise that. I don't expect the Minister to reply to me on this point, but I hope that she and her...

5. Debate on the Finance Committee Report — 'Post-EU funding arrangements' (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: Will you take an intervention?

5. Debate on the Finance Committee Report — 'Post-EU funding arrangements' (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: You spent finance questions emphasising the importance of the quantum of cash available to local government. I've got no argument with that. You now seem to be proposing an argument where the quantum of cash is less important than other matters. Who is the real Peter Fox?

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Income Tax Thresholds (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I'm grateful to you, Presiding Officer, for accepting this. The Minister, in providing a very good and full answer to my earlier question, referred to another Member, Cefin Campbell, in terms of delivering an executive role within the Government. We all understand the co-operation agreement, and as Members will know, I fully support the co-operation agreement. However, Members in this Chamber...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Public Services Boards (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I'm grateful to the Minister for that response. Despite the best efforts of the Conservative Party this afternoon, anyone with any basic understanding or any financial understanding at all will appreciate the cuts that are being made in the Welsh Government's budget, both this year and in future years. However, what we're seeing is public services facing salami cuts year after year after...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Public Services Boards (30 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: 7. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of the UK Government's autumn statement on the work of public services boards? OQ58773

11. Short Debate: Horse-racing: An economic and sporting asset for Wales (16 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I was one of those lucky people to back Norton's Coin at 100:1 in the 1990 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Unfortunately, I wasn't in Cheltenham—I was in Bangor—but it's fair to say we had a very good night on the basis of that 100:1 shot, and it helped me fall in love with the sport. I've just booked my ticket for the Tingle Creek meeting in Sandown at the beginning of December, and I will be...

6. Debate on the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee Report — 'Digital connectivity — broadband' (16 Nov 2022)

Alun Davies: I remember debating this with Ieuan Wyn Jones long before 2011, and Angela Burns led the work on that at that time. So, this goes back for many, many years. But I'm not here simply trying to allocate blame in the way that you are simply trying to describe here, because I think there's a failure, a systemic failure, here of the system that delivers broadband. And although we can point fingers...
