Did you mean representations -taxation?
Buffy Williams: ...for local authorities. They now have £200 million less to spend next year. It will be impossible to keep the same level of service without intervention. Will the Minister please continue to make representations to the UK Government, alongside the WLGA, for support for local authorities in Wales?
Tom Giffard: ...me personally, and many of my colleagues on these Welsh Conservative benches have had to do the same. In a nation where Welsh Conservatives are the second biggest party in terms of parliamentary representation in both of our Parliaments, how can we legitimately use taxpayers' money to fund an organisation that spreads hate and bile towards such a large proportion of the population? Indeed,...
Carolyn Thomas: ...Wales. Unfortunately, border communities, like the ones I represent in north Wales, could still be impacted by fracking. In particular, contamination of the water quality is a serious threat. What representations will be made to the UK Government regarding concerns about water protection from fracking here in Wales?
Jane Hutt: ...to fair working conditions for the Welsh workforce, and this is central to our transition to a zero-carbon economy, as we move to a cleaner, stronger, fairer Wales. Employee voice and collective representation is an essential characteristic of fair work, so it's important that workers in the sectors affected have a strong voice and are effectively represented in the transition to net zero....
Heledd Fychan: ...all of the time isn't necessary, and we have shown that it can work through the COVID period. I am very disappointed to hear some comments from the Tories in the press today, talking about 'representation from the Senedd, not the sofa'. Well, we all have offices within our constituencies and regions; we can represent our constituents there. I also think that we need to bear in mind...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much. Let's just be clear that the board is not supposed to be a geographic representation. If we started that, then it would be very difficult to get representation from the whole of Wales. [Interruption.] I will carry on. I've had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Rajan Madhok. He is somebody who retired to Wales four years ago. He's had an incredibly sparkling career. He's been a...
Vaughan Gething: ...branches that matches the actual capability. I think there's a danger that every Member will say, 'I would like to have a community bank branch in my constituency or my region'. I've certainly had representations on my own side from a range of people, from Jack Sargeant, Joyce Watson and a range of others. We want to see the bank be successful, and we want to see those services increase....
Jane Dodds: ...UK food companies, possibly to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds. Those costs will obviously be passed on to the consumers. Could you provide an update for us, please, Minister, on what representations you have been making to the UK Government about militating against those costs to businesses, to prevent the cost being passed on to our already hard-pressed households? Diolch yn...
...To propose that the Senedd: Notes the engagement work undertaken by the Finance Committee regarding the Welsh Government's spending priorities for the 2023-24 budget, and further notes the representations made by participants at the following events: a) stakeholder event in Llanhilleth Miners’ Institute; b) workshop with Members from the Welsh Youth Parliament; and c) citizen engagement...
Natasha Asghar: ...figures show that drink driving rose from 110 to 130 in Wales from 2019 to 2022. Personally, I find it very hard to take on board any stats during the COVID lockdown because it's not a true representation of what our roads have actually looked like over the years. So, Minister, as much as I believe each life is important, you don't have to be a mathematical genius to see how many lives...
Vikki Howells: ...would have liked to have had the opportunity to have used it. In fact, any appeals could previously only have been made on very narrow procedural grounds, and were conducted entirely on the written representation of the Member who was complained about and existing papers related to the complaint. In fact, we found, in the fifth Senedd, that when the appeal process was utilised for the...
Rebecca Evans: ..., as you know, is the work being undertaken in partnership through the co-operation agreement with Plaid Cymru. And I do recognise the strength of feeling amongst operators, and I've heard those representations from individuals and from industry representatives. In the context of the wider policy priority, to support those sustainable communities and affordable housing, there's a limit...
Elin Jones: ...what you said, Luke Fletcher. If you want to influence the pensions for support staff and the support staff want to look at that as well, then, as I've said, it's important for you to make representations and discuss those with the remuneration board, which is independent and which takes decisions on these issues, and it's not, as it happens, a matter for the Commission. So, I do encourage...
Rhys ab Owen: ...of legal aid cuts by the Tory Government. Legal aid, I'm sure you'll agree with me, Cwnsler Cyffredinol, is welfare; for years, it's been levelling people up so that they can have decent legal representation. As the Welsh Government's legal officer, when justice is devolved to Wales, will you give us a guarantee that lawyers will be properly respected and properly remunerated when that happens?
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...General, together with the Minister for Social Justice, to make a clear assessment of the cumulative impact of this raft of UK legislation, strident UK legislation, and then make the strongest representations to the UK Government, both in your meetings and in your public pronouncements, too.
Joyce Watson: ...to both those people being represented and those companies who employ people. It very often results in very early resolutions rather than escalation of issues that people feel that they need representation on. And, very often, very simple things that can be resolved at an early stage—things like health and safety, pay negotiations. In other words, talking to each other and representing...
Mick Antoniw: ...with advice deserts and there are very significant intrinsic and now institutionalised issues that undermine the future in respect of access to justice and the ability to get access to proper legal representation.
Jane Hutt: ...22 June, reinforcing our concerns. Last week, we had an excellent cross-party group, chaired by Sioned Williams, on human rights. The voice from civil society was so strong, as well as cross-party representation, making clear their concerns about the Bill, and, of course, that spreads well beyond Government—absolute rejection of all the consultation responses that came out against the...
Jane Hutt: ...that question, and we will ensure that we will report, because there is an accountability committee, which is co-chaired by the Permanent Secretary and Professor Emmanuel Ogbonna, and, indeed, with representation from the NHS on it.
Russell George: ..., women need to be involved in that, and we need to think about these diseases as being something that impacts both. Of course, as you've pointed out yourself, Minister, there's perhaps an under-representation of women in clinical trials. We also know, or certainly the coalition told us, that women are 50 per cent more likely to receive an initial misdiagnosis of a heart attack, and we...
