14. Short Debate: Delivering on universal free school meals: The challenges and opportunities (21 Sep 2022)

Altaf Hussain: I was wondering, you're doing such a great job in introducing these school meals, but what we are missing here is: can there be classes teaching these children how to cook? And that should be one of the steps, so that we don't go on and on for these, and it should not be free. There might be then a time we can put an end to it.

7. Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report — Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes Programme (21 Sep 2022)

Altaf Hussain: Whilst I have some concerns about the speed of ministerial responses, at a time of unprecedented and immediate challenge, there are several areas in our report that are around the longer term.

7. Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report — Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes Programme (21 Sep 2022)

Altaf Hussain: —and that local communities feel a much stronger sense of buy-in. This is important. Wales is a small country; we have substantial capacity in our network of local authorities, housing providers, community and third-sector groups who have reached an ability to engage directly with communities to help get that buy-in. There is a reason why this is vital. I would like to hear from the...

Altaf Hussain: Minister, after such a troubling time, with the effect of the pandemic clearly impacting the lives of our young people, it is right that we celebrate the achievements of all our young people who have shown such fortitude in completing their studies.

2. Business Statement and Announcement (20 Sep 2022)

Altaf Hussain: Minister, in February of this year, a wind turbine at Gilfach Goch crashed to the ground, destroying its blades. I have since this challenged the Health and Safety Executive about the potential for this to happen elsewhere and what measures can be taken with landowners to ensure safety. As we potentially see an increase in the development of onshore wind, and we evaluate how to secure our...

1. Motion of condolence and tributes to Her Majesty The Queen (11 Sep 2022)

Altaf Hussain: I would also like to offer my sincerest condolences to His Majesty the King and the entire royal family on the passing of the much-loved Queen Elizabeth.

It was a moment of deep sadness and terrible sorrow, not just for me and my...

4. 90-second Statements (13 Jul 2022)

Altaf Hussain: 'One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.' These are the words of Malala Yousafzai, a truly inspirational young woman, born on 12 July 1997 in the Swat valley in Pakistan. When she was just 11 years old the Taleban took over her village and closed her school. She decided, even at that young age, that she would not give up her education without a fight. She spoke out...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Nutritional Value of Hospital Food (13 Jul 2022)

Altaf Hussain: Thank you, Minister. On two recent stays in hospital, one at the Princess of Wales and the other at the University Hospital of Wales, I was shocked at the lack of dietary choice available. As a Muslim, I was not offered halal food. I have been informed since then that vegetarians are often not offered food meeting their dietary needs either. The result: in-patients having to rely on family or...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Public Transport in South Wales West ( 5 Jul 2022)

Altaf Hussain: First Minister, I have long believed that organisations such as further education colleges can act as anchor institutions helping to drive economic improvement in their regions. Bridgend College's new campus plans are an example of this, where the provision of new training facilities can be used to support the wider economic agenda. However, for this to be successful, there needs to be more...

8. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Diabetes (29 Jun 2022)

Altaf Hussain: Thank you very much. We have the health Minister also here. It would be good to have this interaction, really. I worked on it very much, on the preventative aspect of diabetes type 2, and in that period of time, when the patient is seen by the GP and when he's referred to the dietician for the first time, we waste roughly about two or three months. And it is that time, if that is taken up by...
