Rhianon Passmore: 8. What representations has the Welsh Government made to the UK Government about the impact on Welsh farming of the delayed introduction of European Union import checks? OQ58277
Jane Hutt: ...across Wales. Just to say, in terms of part of Wales's recovery from the pandemic, we've been working in partnership with the third sector partnership council, which I chair. There's cross-sectoral representation there from across community and voluntary third sector groups. I think the recovery plan is important, and it helps us as I respond to this debate, because as a result of the...
Jeremy Miles: ...collaborating body. The existing protections in respect of the withdrawal, suspension or varying of consent remain, requiring the commission to give notice to providers and to have regard to any representations made in accordance with the notice. Overall, the amendments in this group increase the commission's autonomy to determine appropriate consent arrangements by permitting consent to...
Julie James: ...in the UK. In the meantime, we are assessing the role of hydrogen and heating in our heat strategy, due next year, and as part of our energy planning work. I hope, Janet, you will be making strong representations to colleagues in Westminster, to ensure a greater level of funding, since you are so supportive of this strategy. It's available to support future projects across all parts of the...
Julie James: ...Welsh Government convened a Gwent levels working group, chaired by John Griffiths MS, to explore how the levels could be better protected and managed. The group is now well-established and includes representation from the Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales, local government, environmental non-governmental organisations, and other local groups, and has developed a strategic action...
Llyr Gruffydd: ...which would mean fewer additional costs ultimately. So, I see this as an investment rather than a cost. More than that, of course, it's an investment that brings other positives, such as expanding representation to ensure that there is more balance and more diversity among those who are representing in this Senedd.
Julie James: ...high demand like the centre of Cardiff, as Jenny Rathbone made plain, and indeed in the centre of my own constituency, in Swansea. We are very aware of that and we have, as I said, made a number of representations on the local housing allowance, and we continue to make efforts to ensure that landlords are aware of our leasing schemes to give them a guaranteed income if they are prepared to...
Elin Jones: ...may be, we believe that it is right that, where there are areas that are the responsibility of Senedd Members and Ministers here, those people representing us have the right to speak and make the representations that need to be made on behalf of the people of Wales.
Dawn Bowden: ...early age, through our education system, then we're in very difficult territory. To go back to some of the other points that you've raised, I think what is important, particularly in the areas of representation in terms of access—access to our bodies, whether it is access to exhibitions, so it becomes more accessible for people to participate in the viewing and the involvement in...
Sioned Williams: .... The plan includes a measure to expand the access to elected office fund for the next local government elections in 2027. So, why doesn't the plan include measures to increase ethnic diversity and representation as part of the forthcoming Senedd reform measures, and will the Government advocate for doing this for the next Senedd elections? Finally, the plan rightly places a firm focus on...
Paul Davies: ...from the Welsh Government this afternoon? Firstly, I'd be grateful if the Minister for Health and Social Services could bring forward a statement on ophthalmology services, following an increase in representations that I've received from people waiting urgently for treatment. Some of those patients have wet macular degeneration and, while there is no cure, it can be treated of course with...
Mark Drakeford: ...of the Senedd—every nine months. Where's the referendum on that, I wonder? Now, I agree entirely with what my colleague Alun Davies has said. You cannot find an independent report into the representation the people in Wales need in order to take the important decisions that are made here on their behalf that believes that 60 Members is a sufficient quantum to discharge those...
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...in this debate, the funding agenda post Brexit in Westminster has meant to date more powers for Westminster, more money for Tory constituencies, and less democracy for Wales, and less funding and representation for Wales too. We deserve better than this clear effort to buy loyalty for a split and failing union.
Russell George: ...so, of course, we're concerned that Wales is not left behind in this regard. One of the issues that the coalition raised with us is the lack of data. One possible reason for this could be the under-representation of women on trials, often an issue that will lead to that lack of information, that lack of data. Access to specialist services was another issue raised with us. The existing...
Lee Waters: ...into the block grant, which we would be able to draw upon to improve investment. I repeat my call to Natasha Asghar and her colleagues again to please join with us in a cross-party effort to make representations to the UK Government to do what the Tory-led Welsh Affairs Committee said was the right thing to do, which is to Barnettise the spend of HS2 to allow Wales to get our share of UK...
Llyr Gruffydd: ...and analyse some of the figures, but I also want to understand what the reasons are why so few people want to stand for election at the coalface for our communities, and the most important level of representation, it could be argued. Also, of course, you as a Government have created a status for eligible community councils where two thirds of the council has to be elected to be eligible....
Adam Price: ...take advantage of the opportunity that the reform provides to present a broader range of steps to ensure that the Senedd is inclusive, including job share by Members and other steps to ensure the representation of people of colour and minority ethnic groups in the Senedd? And beyond the fundamental issues that we have made a statement on today, don't we need to be clear that we are...
Mark Isherwood: ...Bay. And empowering local people to take the lead on where we need houses, facilities and services—where they should be developed, trusting local people. Peredur Owen Griffiths referred to his representation of many former mining towns and villages, still reeling—and this is a bit of poetic licence here—after 25 years of continuous Labour Government in Wales. And perhaps I should...
Mick Antoniw: ...bereaved through public tragedy, legally binding on all public bodies; a duty of candour on public servants; proper participation of bereaved families at inquests, through publicly funded legal representation, and a public advocate to act for the families of the deceased after major incidents. That, it seems to me, is something that goes to the core of basic justice. I've made the point...
Mark Isherwood: ...for Crown Court defendants; provide 3.5 million more people in Wales and England with access to criminal legal aid at the magistrates' court; and for the first time ever, provide free legal representation for all under-18s and for parents challenging doctors over the withdrawal of their child's life support, and free legal help for families at inquests where there's been a potential breach...
