2. Business Statement and Announcement (13 Mar 2018)

Julie James: Taking those in reverse order: the developer, I understand, has responded to the letter issued by the Welsh Government. Officials are currently considering the representations made before a final decision on the need for an EIA is made. Residents who have been affected by the activities that Jane Hutt has mentioned several times in this Chamber—our advice is for them to raise their concerns...

8. Debate on the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee Report on the Scrutiny of Regulations made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill ( 7 Mar 2018)

Mick Antoniw: However, we echo the concerns raised by the Hansard Society in respect of the scrutiny procedure that applies in certain urgent cases. These concerns are that the Bill does not impose a statutory duty on the Ministers of the Crown to explain the urgency; that there are no defined limits to the cases, which may or may not be urgent; the sift mechanism can be bypassed completely, again without...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 7 Mar 2018)

Llyr Gruffydd: I'm glad to hear that you've made representations to the UK Government. Clearly, UCU has said that their colleagues in many other European countries in post-1992 universities, schools, FE colleges, the NHS and Government all have their pensions underwritten and guaranteed by the state of course, and they're asking why UK pre-1992 universities should have a pension scheme with no Government...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 7 Mar 2018)

Kirsty Williams: Well, Llyr, I have met with both UK-wide officials of UCU as well as Welsh representation, and I continue to be in correspondence with them. Unfortunately, because of the bad weather in Cardiff on Saturday, I was unable to attend the UCU conference, because the conference was cancelled. Officials keep in close touch with both the employers and the employees, and I have, at every opportunity,...

4. Statement by the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: International Women's Day ( 6 Mar 2018)

Joyce Watson: ..., we are celebrating the centenary of women getting the vote, but of course it wasn't every woman, was it? Let's be clear. It was those with property and older than 30. So, immediately, we see the Representation of the People Act 1918 deliberately excluding working-class women from voting, and that, in my opinion, set immediately the difference and the fight that women would have to have...

4. Statement by the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: International Women's Day ( 6 Mar 2018)

Siân Gwenllian: ..., assess this situation and also consider introducing a similar policy to what is being introduced in the Rhondda, and do so across Wales? Finally, we need to take positive steps to create equal representation between men and women as elected representatives. How on earth can it be right that half the population is under-represented so appallingly in public life? Only 27 per cent of...

4. Statement by the Leader of the House and Chief Whip: International Women's Day ( 6 Mar 2018)

Julie James: ...the progress we are making in Wales and the challenges we continue to face.  Gender stereotyping is both a cause and consequence of gender inequality. All too often, women and girls are still not given the opportunities to fulfil their potential. We are working hard to change and challenge this on many fronts. Our work around STEM—science, technology, engineering and mathematics—is...

5. 90-second Statements (28 Feb 2018)

Vikki Howells: ..., noting how far we have come in terms of promoting equal rights and diversity, but also the challenges and barriers we still have to overcome. The year 2018 marks the hundredth anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, so it's perhaps no surprise that LGBT History Month this year explores the role that lesbians and bisexual women played in the votes-for-women campaign....

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (28 Feb 2018)

Gareth Bennett: ...arrangements in Wales. One of your proposed reforms is to extend the vote to 16 and 17-year-olds. One of the arguments that has been used recently in support of that move is the principle of no taxation without representation, but I note that 16 and 17-year-olds aren't actually supposed to pay council tax, and figures from HMRC for 2014-15 suggest that only around 15 per cent of 16 and...

4. Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services: Services Fit for the Future White Paper (27 Feb 2018)

Vaughan Gething: ...for those people who don't regularly take part in consultations. We engaged Communities Connected to do so. I realise that the Consultation Institute wanted to run their own event. We said we would not engage with that because I don't believe that the Welsh Government should send Ministers or officials along to events where our stakeholders pay for that access. I do not believe we should...

4. Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services: Services Fit for the Future White Paper (27 Feb 2018)

Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...of what was in the White Paper. I will start with the concern on the intention to get rid of the community health councils. I will make the point again, as I’ve done previously, that we’re not asking for the CHCs to be kept forever—that’s not what people are asking for—but for the retention of their function and the purpose that was and is delivered, as the voice of the people. I...

4. Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services: Services Fit for the Future White Paper (27 Feb 2018)

Vaughan Gething: ...change, regulation and inspection.    During the consultation a number of stakeholder meetings and focus groups were held across Wales. These included approaches to reach some people who do not traditionally respond to and take part in consultations. The consultation ran until 29 September last year. There were 336 submissions from individuals and organisations, as well as 1,328...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (27 Feb 2018)

Jane Hutt: Will the First Minister reflect the needs of farmers in developing countries in representations made by the Welsh Government as part of Brexit negotiations?

2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Wales's Future Relationship with the EU (14 Feb 2018)

Mark Drakeford: ...at the JMC on European negotiations, and is normally represented at the JMC on Europe. That does provide us with an opportunity to discuss directly with UK Ministers the way in which diplomatic representation will be organised the other side of Brexit. We take every opportunity we have to impress on those representatives the need for a UK presence to be genuinely representative of the...

2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance: Wales's Future Relationship with the EU (14 Feb 2018)

Andrew RT Davies: ...under, and I'd be grateful to understand what interaction his department has had with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to make sure that Wales's representative role within that new footprint of representation, diplomatically, is recognised and is as strong as possible?

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: The Biomass UK No. 2 Development in Barry (14 Feb 2018)

Hannah Blythyn: Thank you for that question. I appreciate the residents' and the Member's concerns, and I recognise the role the Member has played in being involved with making representations on this issue on behalf of her constituents. In terms of the announcement by the future generations commissioner, our guidance in the well-being of future generations Act makes it clear that the Act provides...

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: The Biomass UK No. 2 Development in Barry (14 Feb 2018)

Hannah Blythyn: ...developer of the biomass plant that they are minded to direct that an environmental impact assessment must accompany their planning application currently before the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Any representations they will make will be taken into account before a final decision is made. 

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs: Planning Law (14 Feb 2018)

Mick Antoniw: ... you see communities beginning to disintegrate because of the unbridled growth of HMOs. Could you outline what the position is with regard to HMOs and what you intend to do in respect of the representations for those communities that are under threat in that particular way?

1. Questions to the First Minister: Questions Without Notice from the Party Leaders (13 Feb 2018)

Carwyn Jones: We have had questions of the Ministry of Justice that have not yet been satisfactorily answered. We have taken no decision on the sale of the land. I know of the representations that have been made. In some ways, the issue is bound up with the commission for justice, in the sense of what should a Welsh penal policy, or a Welsh sentencing policy as well, look like in the future. It's right...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Questions Without Notice from the Party Leaders (13 Feb 2018)

Carwyn Jones: First, he's not correct in terms of what he's quoted the Minister as saying. Secondly, the health board has published a consultation, which contains various options—difficult, some of them; there is no question about that. But it's the health board's responsibility to come forward with proposals, and that's exactly what it has done. I have to say to the leader of the opposition: we have...
