Jack Sargeant: 9. How is the Welsh Government working to protect children born with serious heart problems? OQ58694
Jack Sargeant: I thank the First Minister for that answer, and I'm grateful for the commitment from the Ministers in your Cabinet. Llywydd, I have declared an interest with this question because of my committed and continued involvement with the Wales disinvestment campaign, but the clock is ticking, First Minister, on the time that we have to avoid serious environmental catastrophe and the chaos, hunger...
Jack Sargeant: 6. What discussions has the Welsh Government had regarding the disinvestment of public sector pension funds from fossil fuels? OQ58703
Jack Sargeant: Can I thank Joyce Watson for that answer and all the work she does as a Commissioner, but also in a personal capacity as well? I know you are just as passionate as I am about the White Ribbon campaign. It is my role as an ambassador of the campaign to promote to never use, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women. We've heard already from Joyce Watson exactly what the Senedd...
Jack Sargeant: I thank the Counsel General for that answer. And can I thank him for his continued work with me about promoting the need for a Hillsborough law? Counsel General, you will be aware that the next Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, used the opening of his conference speech in Liverpool to commit his future Labour Government to implementing a Hillsborough law. This is not only a bold move, but it...
Jack Sargeant: Can I thank the Minister for that answer? I will be delighted to join you at that event for Welsh Government officials to encourage officials to become White Ribbon ambassadors. I will declare at this point that I am, Llywydd, a White Ribbon ambassador, just as my dad was. But, I'm not the only campaigner for the White Ribbon cause here in the Senedd. My close friend and colleague Joyce...

Not a month goes by without a reminder of what we owe those who have served and who serve currently in our armed forces. The service they gave through COVID, the support they give whenever...
Jack Sargeant: Can I thank all Members for contributing, not only to today's debate, but also to this difficult report, but a very important report is what it is, led so eloquently by the Chair, Jayne Bryant? But Jayne's committee is not the only committee addressing this particular issue. The Petitions Committee, which I chair, has received a petition, upon the publication of this particular report, and it...
Jack Sargeant: Thank you for your response, Minister. The Tory party want us all to pretend that it was a different Tory party that crashed the economy with reckless giveaways. [Interruption.] Whether they're Conservatives or Tories, they're all under the same hat. Now, they crashed the economy with their giveaways to millionaires and billionaires just a few weeks ago. Minister, you're right; the damage...
Jack Sargeant: 8. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of the UK Government's fiscal statement on Alyn and Deeside? OQ58609
Jack Sargeant: This Friday, I'll be visiting DRB Group in my own constituency of Alyn and Deeside, and I'm proud to have completed my apprenticeship in advanced manufacturing at DRB, with the help of the Welsh Labour Government. I'm also extremely grateful to the company for funding my part-time degree whilst I was there. Before I visit and return to my former workplace, I will be speaking at a...
Jack Sargeant: Can I thank James Evans for that intervention? I fully agree with James, and the point that I will try to make now is that it's not the likes of us, James, in suits sitting in this Chamber who make real change, it's people like Tassia. Tassia was gracious enough, Minister, to provide me with some thoughts on the letter you mentioned you sent to me on 14 October: with regard to pathways, the...
Jack Sargeant: Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer, and can I extend my thanks to the Minister for responding, and, of course, to members of my committee, Rhun ap Iorwerth, and to Buffy for her contribution and tribute to her close friend as well—very powerful contributions? I also extend my thanks to the Business Committee for bringing forward this urgent debate and the way that it was scheduled. ...
Jack Sargeant: Yes, of course.
Jack Sargeant: Diolch yn fawr, Deputy Presiding Officer.
Jack Sargeant: On behalf of the Petitions Committee, thank you for the opportunity to bring this important debate forward on the petition,
