Laura Anne Jones: Thank you for your statement, Minister. Minister, you are here today putting the idea of a visitor levy, also known as a tourism tax, to the people and businesses of Wales in the form of a consultation, although it's quite frankly staggering that it has got this far. It will punish the tourism sector, and as, Llyr, your own party leader, Adam Price, admitted, the money raised this Government...

Laura Anne Jones: Thank you, business Minister. I'd like to request a statement from the Minister for education—as he turns around.

And whether it be showcasing or offering the outstanding local produce that we have in...

3. Topical Questions: Child Poverty (13 Jul 2022)

Laura Anne Jones: Minister, I'm not interested in a blame game today.

I really welcome that there'll be a 10-year women's health plan in the autumn, and I very much welcome lots of parts of this statement. It will be an enormous...

Laura Anne Jones: First Minister, two weeks ago, the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership gave an update of your Government's LGBTQ+ action plan.
