9. 7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh-medium Education ( 9 Nov 2016)

Mike Hedges: I intend to use both English and Welsh in this contribution. Yn gyntaf, ble fydd y 1 miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg yn 2050? A ydyn nhw yng Nghymru, ym Mhrydain neu dros y byd? The 2011 census, which showed a decline in the number of Welsh speakers, compared with 2001, was very disappointing. If the decline continues at the same rate over the next 30 years, only Gwynedd will have half its...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport: <p>Primary and Secondary Care</p> ( 9 Nov 2016)

Mike Hedges: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response? But the share of the Welsh health budget spent on primary care has reduced over recent years. Is there any intention from the Welsh Government to try and reverse this trend, because I believe, and I hope the Cabinet Secretary does, that spending money in primary care saves money further along the line?

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>No-cold-calling Zones </p> ( 8 Nov 2016)

Mike Hedges: That’s absolutely true. No-cold-calling zones are popular with residents. When delivering leaflets during half term in areas without no-cold-calling zones, I noticed a large number of houses with ‘no uninvited traders’ stickers on their doors. What can the Welsh Government do to support councils in expanding the areas covered by no-cold-calling zones?

10. 6. Statement: 20,000 Affordable Homes Target ( 1 Nov 2016)

Mike Hedges: I welcome the statement by the Cabinet Secretary and the proposal for 20,000 affordable homes for people to live in. The ending of the right to buy and the right to acquire will put an end to the loss of public housing for rent. Building homes is not only good for the people who will live in these homes, but is good for the Welsh economy and getting people into work. I have three questions...

6. 5. Plaid Cymru Debate: Local Government (19 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Do you also support the same day for polling day and electoral registration, like they have in America?

6. 5. Plaid Cymru Debate: Local Government (19 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: I think I probably am on the left, both physically and politically. Can I thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer? Can I first of all return to the motion that Plaid Cymru has put down? I’d like to agree with the statement that local government is contributing towards the local economy, health service and educational outcomes. Taking each in turn, local government is both a very large employer...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government: <p>European Structural Fund Programmes</p> (19 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Will the Cabinet Secretary join with me in congratulating Swansea University on the development of a programme to extend research Master’s and engineering doctorates, working with some of the UK’s and world’s leading industrial companies? Surely it’s something that the Welsh economy desperately needs. This has been backed by European Union funding. What will happen after the European...

4. 3. Statement: The Draft Budget 2017-18 (18 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I just say that what the Minister agreed with Plaid Cymru are a lot of issues that I would have actually been asking him for if he hadn’t? Austerity for the Tories is a political policy not an economic one. It’s about shrinking the state. It is having a serious effect on public services. I have three questions. On health, can the Minister confirm...

3. 2. Business Statement and Announcement (18 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Last week, the Minister covering social services said: ‘The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 will transform the way that we meet the needs of all people with care and support needs, including people with autism and their carers.’ Can I therefore ask for a Government statement on the social services Act and how it is working?

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (18 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Will the First Minister provide an update on the growth of the ICT industry in Wales?

6. 5. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Autism (12 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Will you take an intervention? Will you commit, if that Act has not worked, to bring forward an autism Act?

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children: <p>Flying Start</p> (12 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response? Flying Start has made a huge improvement to life opportunities for many of my constituents. It means that children are starting school at or close to their chronological age. Whilst I believe it should be based on communities, not the vagaries of the Office for National Statistics-created super-output areas, will the Minister reiterate his...

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children: <p>People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing</p> (12 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: Can I declare an interest firstly as president of Swansea hard of hearing group, and I also have a sister who is profoundly deaf? It’s very easy to discriminate in employment: you just need to make answering the phone identified as part of the job and immediately somebody who’s deaf is unable to apply. The one thing that would make a huge difference would be parity of esteem for...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs: <p>Flooding </p> (12 Oct 2016)

Mike Hedges: First of all, Minister, can I highlight the success of the floodplain in Ynysforgan, which is not only in my constituency but is also half a mile away from where I live? It’s an area that used to be under an awful lot of flooding over a period of time, but that has now stopped because the floodplain has worked so successfully. Are there plans to bring the floodplains on to other rivers, so...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs: <p>Flooding </p> (12 Oct 2016)
