1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 8 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you, again, Minister. I can't argue with that response at all. Now, my final point: in the budget for 2023-24, building safety funding is set to receive a 37 per cent reduction in resource. Despite the indicative budget setting aside £9.5 million for 2023-24, the draft budget allocation has dropped to £6 million. I'm just a little baffled and maybe you could explain better. So, how...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 8 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you for that comprehensive answer, Minister, it's really appreciated. I'm sure you would agree with me that the longer it takes to resolve this crisis, the greater the mental and financial pressure for these vulnerable residents. I'm sure you'd agree with me too that we shouldn't be allowing other people to get on the back of this and actually benefit financially. The reason I'm...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople ( 8 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Diolch, Llywydd, and thank you, Minister, Now, there is no denying that the UK Government is taking decisive action to tackle unsafe buildings. The Rt Hon Michael Gove MP has sent all developers legally binding contracts that will commit them to pay to repair these unsafe buildings. This contract will see developers commit an estimated £2 billion or more for repairs to buildings that they've...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Flooding in Coastal Communities ( 8 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Okay. What steps, Minister, can you take? How do we move forward on this? What steps will you take to ensure that we have the right sea defences we need, but that, at some stage, we can see our sandy beach restored in Llandudno? Diolch. 

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Flooding in Coastal Communities ( 8 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you, Minister. I'm sure you're aware that, in 2014, our lovely sandy beach, north shore, Llandudno, received, without any notice, the dumping of some 50,000 tonnes of freshly and dirty quarried rock. At the time, it was described as 'shingle'. The town was in uproar, with residents, visitors and business owners still angry to this day. I can recall our sea washing up a white, milky...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Flooding in Coastal Communities ( 8 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: 2. What support is the Welsh Government providing for coastal communities facing the threat of flooding? OQ59079

4. Debate: The Draft Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Will the Member take an intervention? 

4. Debate: The Draft Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you, Mabon. Thank you, Mabon, very much. There's some irony here, isn't there? The reasons that the homeless numbers are increasing are, in fact, as a result of many private landlords—and I declare an interest—actually now serving section 21s. You've supported all those extra regulatory burdens that have been placed on private landlords that are now forcing people out of comfortable...

4. Debate: The Draft Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Yes. Twenty-five million pounds in capital funding towards the costs of remedial works to make a property habitable. The Welsh Government needs to outline how it seeks to promote empty homes. Too often, we're seeing the wrong priorities being afforded money. Anyway, that's my take on it. I think this budget is very poor. I think it's not ambitious at all. We know that there are challenges,...

4. Debate: The Draft Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Yes.

4. Debate: The Draft Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Well, I disagree that there's a complete lack of this funding. At the end of the day, we've had devolution here in Wales for 25 years. We have just over 3 million of population. The billions that come into Wales—is it £18 billion? It's you that's out of order even asking a question like that. So, the Welsh Government needs to explain how this has been reduced, despite the target to meet...

4. Debate: The Draft Budget 2023-24 ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Obviously, I'd like to actually address my budget concerns regarding the portfolio. If we just take Natural Resources Wales, for instance, Welsh Government have completely ignored many warnings that we've seen in committee reports and inquiries that Natural Resources Wales is underfunded, and yet, they've chosen to maintain its current level of funding. So, it's continued to be allocated...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Building Safety at the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Okay. So, what steps are you taking to ensure that my constituents, and patients across north Wales, can actually receive their medical treatment in safe facilities? Diolch.

1. Questions to the First Minister: Building Safety at the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you, Trefnydd. Now, shockingly, some 74 per cent of the buildings owned by this board comply with statutory health and safety requirements, only 64 per cent comply with relevant statutory fire safety requirements, and only 62 per cent are operationally safe. And that's a very worrying concern for my constituents and also patients across north Wales. At Ysbyty Gwynedd, the design and...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Building Safety at the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board ( 7 Feb 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: 2. What assessment has the First Minister made of the safety of buildings owned by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board? OQ59098

6. Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal — A Bill on digital carbon footprint reduction (25 Jan 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: I would really like to thank our colleague Rhun ap Iorwerth for bringing forward this legislative proposal today, and I'm very pleased to be giving it my support. Of course, as our party's shadow Minister for climate change, we think that it's vital that we do embrace new technologies for the way that they can enhance our emission reduction systems, and this is something that Wales can take...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill (25 Jan 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you. Following a request by the Welsh Government, the Business Committee agreed not to refer the Bill to a responsible committee for Stage 1 scrutiny. According to the Business Committee report, one of the reasons why you requested an expedited timetable for Senedd scrutiny was, and I quote, 'due to its intention to use the Bill as a practical example to support its case in relation to...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill (25 Jan 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: 8. What legal advice has the Counsel General provided to the Welsh Government on the implementation of the Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill? OQ58984

QNR: Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution (25 Jan 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: What legal advice has the Counsel General provided to the Welsh Government regarding its policy on the legal status of gender self-identification?

4. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Renewable Energy Targets (24 Jan 2023)

Janet Finch-Saunders: I'd like to thank the Minister for her statement. We all agree that a local supply of secure, affordable renewable energy within the context of a strong GB network is the foundation to a prosperous zero-carbon society. We need to be ambitious to achieve that community that we want to see Wales being, so I welcome your decision, Minister, to set a target for Wales to generate the equivalent of...
