Cefin Campbell: 7. What assessment has the Minister made of the impact of the war in Ukraine on the agriculture sector in mid and west Wales? OQ57931
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. It's clear that you've had a few opportunities to rehearse an answer to this question already, but we need to emphasise, of course, that the European funding had been given to the most disadvantaged areas in Wales, and Mid and West Wales had benefited significantly over the years from funding from various European sources—for example, £2.8 million to develop Llanelli...
Cefin Campbell: 5. What assessment has the First Minister made of the impact of the UK Government's shared prosperity fund on Mid and West Wales? OQ57944
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. As you know, Carmarthenshire County Council has been promoting cycle tourism over the past few years and has seen the development of the national closed road circuit in Pembrey, redeveloping the velodrome in Carmarthen, and there's also a cycle path along the Tywi valley about to be completed, and Carmarthenshire has held several stages of the Tour of Britain over the...
Cefin Campbell: Trefnydd, may I ask for a statement on digital connectivity in rural areas, which has a major impact on citizens in the region that I represent, namely Mid and West Wales? As we all know, the additional top-up that the Welsh Government has been providing to the voucher system from the Westminster Government is coming to an end on Thursday of this week, and that, of course, leads to a great...
Cefin Campbell: 5. What steps is the Welsh Government taking to develop cycle tourism in west Wales? OQ57871
Cefin Campbell: May I start by declaring an interest as a county councillor, for the next few weeks, because it is pertinent to the question that I'm going to pose? Trefnydd, I'm sure that you, like me, have welcomed the statement made last week by the Wales Pension Partnership and the local government pensions scheme, in light of the appalling events in Ukraine, that these pension funds have decided to...
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much, Minister. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting the port authority in Milford Haven, and had a very beneficial meeting about their plans for the future. It emerged during that meeting that as Wales seeks to increase its efforts to meet its net-zero targets while taking great advantage of the green growth opportunities, it's evident that the main oil and gas...
Cefin Campbell: 5. What support does the Welsh Government plan to give to companies in Pembrokeshire to help them reduce their carbon emissions? OQ57722
Cefin Campbell: May I start by declaring an interest that I am a county councillor in Carmarthenshire? I'm extremely pleased to contribute to this debate. The exploitation of Wales's natural resources by Westminster is an emotional and historic issue. That kind of extractive economy has been in place for centuries: our coal, slate, water, electricity, homes for tourists, and, more recently, our agricultural...
Cefin Campbell: What assessment has the Minister made of rural poverty in Mid and West Wales?
Cefin Campbell: Sincere apologies, Llywydd, as I forgot to declare an interest, in that I am a county councillor in Carmarthenshire, before I asked my question of the First Minister. So, my apologies.
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. We know that over half of Welsh Government's staff work here in Cardiff, with some 58 per cent across the whole of the south-east. Now, some 19 per cent of the population of Wales live in Mid and West Wales. However, only around 13 per cent of Welsh Government posts are located in that region, and, as it happens, many of the Welsh Government's offices in the region are on...
Cefin Campbell: 8. What assessment has the First Minister made of the number of Welsh Government staff that are located in Mid and West Wales? OQ57626
Cefin Campbell: What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the pressure facing NHS staff in Mid and West Wales?
Cefin Campbell: Will the Minister make a statement on the impact of overwork and stress on losing staff from the health service?
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. Over the summer, the culture committee, which is responsible for the Welsh language, among other things, consulted on what its priorities should be for the sixth Senedd. One of those priorities was to recognise that schoolchildren during the pandemic had faced extended periods away from school, as I mentioned in my previous question, and, as a result of that, their...
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. With the new curriculum in the pipeline, and the target to reach a million Welsh speakers by 2050 and the Welsh education Bill on the horizon, it's clear that there are major changes afoot in the education sector in terms of Welsh-medium provision. As we've already heard you mention in the Chamber, Minister, children have lost out on a great deal of their education during...
Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Yesterday, I met with the committee of Cardiff University Welsh Students' Union, which have been campaigning for many years to have a full-time sabbatical Welsh language officer within the union. Swansea, Bangor and Aberystwyth universities have had similar positions in place for many years, but here in Cardiff, where there are over 3,000 Welsh...
Cefin Campbell: What is the Welsh Government doing to help to reduce carbon emissions in Pembrokeshire?
