1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>Tolling Arrangements on the Severn Bridge </p> ( 5 Oct 2016)

Mark Reckless: They are reverting from the private sector to the public sector. My own understanding was the fourth quarter, and I was hoping to have an update on that—the fourth quarter of next year. The Treasury has said that, despite the bridge then being paid for, it plans to continue to have a toll, partly, it says, to repay a debt that it purports to be owed on the bridge. Can the Cabinet Secretary...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>Tolling Arrangements on the Severn Bridge </p> ( 5 Oct 2016)

Mark Reckless: 8. When does the Minister expect tolling arrangements on the Severn Bridges to revert to the public sector? OAQ(5)0040(EI)

2. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>The Office for National Statistics </p> ( 4 Oct 2016)

Mark Reckless: With respect to the ONS data centre and the link with economics, I worked as an economist previously and hugely benefited from relations with ONS statisticians. There was a time when the ONS emphasised selling data and using it to bring in revenue to Government, but now has a policy of open data. Does the First Minister agree that the Welsh Government should support that in its own approach,...

2. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>CAP Payments</p> ( 4 Oct 2016)

Mark Reckless: Of course, I applaud and share the First Minister’s ambition in this field. Many farmers have said to me that they would like to see Welsh Government spending on agriculture and rural development ring-fenced. Is that a commitment the First Minister would consider giving, perhaps in the context of UK Government guarantees of future funding and policy autonomy for Wales?

2. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>CAP Payments</p> ( 4 Oct 2016)

Mark Reckless: 3. Does the First Minister expect all current CAP payments made in Wales to be added permanently and unconditionally to the HM Treasury block grant to the Welsh Government? OAQ(5)0175(FM)

4. 4. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Bovine TB (28 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: I congratulate Simon Thomas on getting this debate and on proposing his motion without, I believe, mentioning badgers, which I think we all knew were the substance of the debate to come. I find it unusual speaking at the moment because I don’t have a strong view for or against badger culling as a potential solution or at least way to improve, mitigate, the situation of bovine TB. I did vote...

2. 2. Questions to the Counsel General: <p>Protection of Maritime Natural Resources </p> (28 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: I was privileged to lead a delegation for the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee, including both Jayne and Simon, to the Ceredigion coast late last week. One issue we learnt from marine organisations there is that it was the marine strategic framework directive where there was, it was suggested, a potential breach and consequent, at least in theory, enforcement action. We...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: <p>Payments to Schools in the Private Sector</p> (28 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her answer. Could she confirm, which I’ve seen from an FOI request from one of her constituents, whether the Welsh Government continues to make a payment of £90,000 a year to the private, fee-paying London Welsh School?

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: <p>Payments to Schools in the Private Sector</p> (28 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: 3. To what extent does the Welsh Government make payments to schools in the private sector? OAQ(5)0033(EDU)

3. 3. Statement: The Diamond Review of Higher Education and Student Finance in Wales (27 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: I’d like to thank the Cabinet Secretary, Professor Diamond and his team for the report and her statement. There are elements of the report that my party welcomes—the sensible postgraduate arrangements, making them equivalent to undergraduates, support for part-timers and support for carers. One small part we had in our manifesto was the suggestion of pilot schemes for Welsh students to...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children: <p>Childcare Provision</p> (14 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: The provision in Wales is very centred on schools, compared to a more mixed economy across the border. Has the Minister considered that many parents might welcome more of a choice between school-based nurseries and independent nurseries and, for example, might like the opportunity, rather than five days of two-and-a-half hours a day, to have a smaller number of fuller days in the week?

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children: <p>Childcare Provision</p> (14 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: 7. Will the Welsh Government continue to prioritise childcare provision in nurseries attached to schools over private nurseries? OAQ(5)0036(CC)

6. 4. Statement: The Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Bill (13 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: Thank you. My party accepted the St David’s Day agreement and said we would work with that, I think largely because we wanted to focus on delivering better public services in Wales, rather than continued constitutional navel-gazing. We do not accept the change to devolve income tax powers without a referendum, which is a departure from that St David’s Day agreement, but we note the...

5. 3. Statement: EU Transition (13 Sep 2016)

Mark Reckless: To date, though, agriculture has been devolved legally to Wales, but, in practice, most of what happens in that area has been set at EU level. The First Minister rightly observes there will be a massive difference between a Barnett formula share of agriculture spending and what we’ve received under the CAP. Given that, is it wise for him to set himself against a CAP-type policy on a UK...

4. 4. Motion to Change the Name of the Reserve Policy and Legislation Committee (13 Jul 2016)

Mark Reckless: I move the motion formally on behalf of the Business Committee.

5. 5. Motions to Elect Members to Committees (13 Jul 2016)

Mark Reckless: I move the motions.

11. 10. Debate: The First Supplementary Budget 2016-17 (12 Jul 2016)

Mark Reckless: We do not propose to object to this budget and we are grateful to the Cabinet Secretary for the participative approach taken with the Finance Committee, and beyond, on it. I would like to raise just a few points around the capital allocations: the £2.5 million for the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal, which I welcomed in my question to the First Minister earlier. I just wonder whether this is...

8. 7. Statement: Transport Modernisation — An Update on the Wales and Borders Franchise and Metro Programmes (12 Jul 2016)

Mark Reckless: I’m grateful to the Minister for his statement and support the sensible devolution of this franchise to the Assembly and to the Welsh Government. I note, though, there has been 18 months of negotiations, and I wonder if the Minister could update on why those negotiations have yet to come to fruition. He compared Transport for Wales to Transport for London and mentioned some of the...

Advanced search

Find this exact word or phrase

You can also do this from the main search box by putting exact words in quotes: like "cycling" or "hutton report"

By default, we show words related to your search term, like “cycle” and “cycles” in a search for cycling. Putting the word in quotes, like "cycling", will stop this.

Excluding these words

You can also do this from the main search box by putting a minus sign before words you don’t want: like hunting -fox

We also support a bunch of boolean search modifiers, like AND and NEAR, for precise searching.

Date range

to

You can give a start date, an end date, or both to restrict results to a particular date range. A missing end date implies the current date, and a missing start date implies the oldest date we have in the system. Dates can be entered in any format you wish, e.g. 3rd March 2007 or 17/10/1989

Person

Enter a name here to restrict results to contributions only by that person.

Section

Restrict results to a particular parliament or assembly that we cover (e.g. the Scottish Parliament), or a particular type of data within an institution, such as Commons Written Answers.

Column

If you know the actual Hansard column number of the information you are interested in (perhaps you’re looking up a paper reference), you can restrict results to that; you can also use column:123 in the main search box.
