Did you mean representations NOT taxation speaker:Jenny Rathbone speaker:Alun Davies speaker:Mark Drakeford?
Russell George: ...widest opportunity is available to all. I'm pleased that the Welsh Government has accepted this recommendation. The Welsh Government also accepted our call for more action to be put to the under-representation of disabled people. Written evidence from Remploy highlighted that only 2.7 per cent of learners in work-based learning provision, and 1.3 per cent of apprenticeships in Wales, are...
Dawn Bowden: ...to be losing more than 250—260 jobs, in fact—from Merthyr, to Treforest. And I'd reiterate exactly what Hefin and John have already said about that. Because, although most of these jobs are not being lost to the organisation, they are being relocated, and the towns that they are being relocated from will be hit economically, without any shadow of a doubt. You cannot take 260 jobs out...
Rebecca Evans: Thank you. The leader of the house, as the Welsh Government lead Minister for Better Jobs Closer to Home, has made repeated representations to the UK Government, and in particular the Minister for employment, both in writing and in person, setting out the Welsh Government's serious concerns about this proposal.
Hannah Blythyn: ...of time frame. I do understand why this is causing so much concern and frustration, both for representatives and for people in the local community. But we are actively currently considering the representation made, and we do not intend to set a deadline for the final decision on EIA to be made, because the decision requires careful and full consideration of all the issues to withstand...
Hannah Blythyn: ...uphold our international obligations in respect of environmental impact assessments. Officials are giving careful consideration to compliance with the EIA directive, taking account of the representations of the developer and those of the Docks Incinerator Action Group and others.
...2018, thus avoiding its own LTT regime by three days and ensuring the transaction took place under the UK Government’s stamp duty land tax. 3. Calls on the Welsh Government, in light of sector representation, to reconsider the new six per cent LTT rate on commercial land transactions above £1 million which will have a detrimental impact on economic development in Wales.
Lesley Griffiths: Careful consideration is being given to the representations made by the community, including the Docks Incinerator Action Group, as well as those of the plant developer. I must ensure our actions as a Government uphold our international obligations in respect of compliance with the environmental impact directive.
Paul Davies: ...for future funding arrangements, and the Welsh Government has been quick to point out that engagement has already taken place with stakeholders and other Governments on this point. In light of the representations that the Cabinet Secretary has already made on this issue, can she provide some more information about exactly what future funding arrangements the Welsh Government want to see...
Vaughan Gething: ...group for the work they have undertaken. I do want to acknowledge the courage and commitment of those women who have worked tirelessly to highlight this issue. Whilst, understandably, they chose not to participate directly in the group’s work, the evidence that they provided has informed the findings and recommendations—and, of course, I've previously reported meeting a group of mesh...
Siân Gwenllian: ...are made, then issues that are important for women—women outside of this place, women in general—are discussed. And that’s why I’m in favour of ensuring that we have parity of female representation here, but also in county councils and across the public sector, so that important issues like this are given due consideration. Just to draw your attention—. We launched this...
Suzy Davies: ...their participation in the deal as direct partners or as pipeline businesses. There's a little bit of nervousness in some quarters, which I hope you might be able to quell today. Obviously, I'm not arguing against the order, but perhaps you can tell us whether the Welsh Government has received a range of representations on this issue from business in particular, obviously, as this is your...
David Rees: 3. What legal representations has the Counsel General made in relation to appeals against Care Inspectorate Wales's decision to withdraw registered status from nurseries and childcare centres? OAQ52085
Jane Hutt: ...I welcomed a student pilgrimage from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David; they'd walked from Merthyr to Pontypridd and down to Cardiff. They had banners with the suffragette message, 'Deeds not words', and in fact, the students were mainly from the College of Art in Swansea—I think that's in Mike Hedges's constituency—and they presented me with their pilgrimage manifesto. They...
Mick Antoniw: Cabinet Secretary, isn't one of the issues with locums the fact that not only can they earn £800 plus a day without the responsibilities of running a practice, but that the tax system under which they operate means that they can effectively, by setting up as a co-operation, pay just 20 per cent tax and the rest as dividends? And what, effectively, the locum system is actually doing is...
Kirsty Williams: ..., you will see in your committee papers and in those budget papers, on the grant tables, this decision, and I'm surprised, as someone who I know takes scrutiny very seriously indeed, that this was not raised, especially given the fact that the party abstained on the budget vote and made no representations that I'm aware of with regard to this. Those documents are in the public domain, Leanne—
Elin Jones: Thank you for the notification of your intention to raise this as a point of order. As I said following a similar issue that was raised in a point of order yesterday, Government business is a matter for Welsh Ministers, not for me. But Ministers are accountable to this Assembly, and it is my expectation that they should not undermine that principle by making major policy announcements outside...
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...who is looking to see the right care package—the right package of support and advice for them—but they also, of course, have the right to advocacy as well, and they also have the right to make representations when they don't think the right package has been put forward for them. All of those places are not only there in terms of the legislation, but also the codes as well. Now, if...
Mark Isherwood: ...giving evidence on air quality to the public inquiry, which the inspector accepted, and which contributed to the successful recommendation that that programme or that proposal at that time should not go ahead. How will you ensure, therefore, that your new air quality monitoring assessment centre for Wales works with the Wales health impact assessment support unit, and has more teeth in...
Jane Hutt: ...the Government continues to move the goalposts in respect of the debate and appropriate action to alleviate this gross miscarriage of justice to the women of Wales. I would like to ask why you did not take this opportunity to do so.' So, I thank Kay today for those questions to the Secretary of State and for allowing me to air and share these today in this very important and serious...
Rhianon Passmore: Thank you for that. Can I ask, then, in that regard, what interventions you have made, as Welsh Conservatives—and representations—to them around this matter?
