8. Voting Time (12 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: My screen said that I had permission to vote and that the vote hadn't been closed when you called the result of the vote. Does that mean that my vote wasn't recorded?

1. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Poverty Gap (12 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: Thank you very much for that response, Minister. I very much welcome the statement that the Minister made some months ago, and it would be useful to hear an update from the Minister on the progress that's being made, to ensure that children and young people from all backgrounds have an equality of opportunity to progress their education. We all know and we're all aware that children who come...

1. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Poverty Gap (12 Oct 2022)

1. Questions to the First Minister: Public Services in Blaenau Gwent (11 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: Thank you very much, First Minister. We woke up this morning of course to the news from the Institute for Fiscal Studies that there's an unfunded £60 billion hole in UK public finances as a consequence of decisions taken by the UK Government—not as a consequence of war in Europe, not as a consequence of COVID, but as a consequence of their own decisions. Before we'd finished breakfast, the...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Public Services in Blaenau Gwent (11 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: 1. Will the First Minister make a statement on the potential impact of the UK Government’s economic policies on public services in Blaenau Gwent? OQ58545

5. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: World Heritage in Northwest Wales ( 4 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: Deputy Minister, the culture committee visited Llanberis and the National Slate Museum in the spring, and we received presentations from people there about the work that was being done to support the world heritage status and how that's going to be built upon. I was hugely impressed by that work and hugely impressed by the presentations that we received. I was especially impressed by the way...

4. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Cymraeg 2050 Annual Report 2021-22 ( 4 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: I thank the Minister for the statement this afternoon, and I also thank the Minister for his leadership in this policy area. I spent some time in the Eisteddfod over the summer, and I was very impressed with the way in which you led the discussion, but also the tone that you've adopted in leading on this here. Sometimes, the tone of the discussion can be just as important as the policies that...

3. Statement by the Minister for Economy: Regional Economic Development ( 4 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: I’m grateful to you, Minister, for the statement. I'm also grateful for your continuing commitment to Tech Valleys and your previous commitments to the programme and its budget over future years. The macro situation we’re facing in Blaenau Gwent and elsewhere is far more difficult than it has been in the past. We’ve seen a disastrous Brexit that has locked us out of significant markets,...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The UK Government's Fiscal Statement ( 4 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: I'm grateful to the First Minister for that. At one level, of course, it's possible to ridicule the chaos that exists in Westminster at the moment: a Prime Minister that models herself on Margaret Thatcher—the lady who is not for turning is spinning like a top, and, no, she doesn't herself know what decision she's going to take tomorrow. We know that the impact of her chaotic couple of...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The UK Government's Fiscal Statement ( 4 Oct 2022)

Alun Davies: 2. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact the UK Government’s fiscal statement will have on people in Blaenau Gwent? OQ58496

3. Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Response to the UK Government Financial Statement (27 Sep 2022)

Alun Davies: Yes, I understand that. It's the impact on public spending, and the impact on our future ability to fund public services. Inflation is already hitting public services, and it is important that we are able to understand the impact that this budget statement will have on our ability to fund public services in the future.

3. Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Response to the UK Government Financial Statement (27 Sep 2022)

Alun Davies: I'm grateful to the Minister for her statement. I think it's clear that this was a budget for the very richest people in society. It wasn't a budget for Wales and it wasn't a budget for the people of Wales. Liz Truss has seen the economy collapse by £500 billion—or dollars, as you could say nowadays—since becoming Prime Minister. It is the most extraordinary economic failure that I can...

5. Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Visitor Levy Consultation (20 Sep 2022)

Alun Davies: I'm grateful to you, Minister. Members will be pleased to hear that I'll just make a short intervention this afternoon. I'm fully in support of a consultation, and fully in support of the levy that you are proposing. I believe that we do need to have a real debate about the nature of tourism and the impact of tourism on our communities. All too often in this Chamber, we make assumptions and...

3. Statement by the First Minister: Update on the Cost of Living (20 Sep 2022)

Alun Davies: I can't be alone in feeling my blood boiling when I listen to the weasel words of the Conservative Party and when I watch their crocodile tears whilst they wring their hands at the consequences of the policies that they themselves are delivering: lifting the limits on bankers' bonuses, tax cuts for the rich, whilst cutting services for the poorest. It is appalling. And they walk away from it,...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (20 Sep 2022)

Alun Davies: Minister, I'd like to ask for two statements, if possible. We understand that there is an economic or a fiscal statement being made by the UK Government later this week. I'd like to ask for a statement from the Welsh Government on how that will impact our public services here in Wales. We're already concerned, I think, many of us on all sides of the Chamber, that economic mismanagement and...

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

Alun Davies: It's a privilege, Presiding Officer, to speak here today on behalf of the people of Blaenau Gwent. Blaenau Gwent, like all other parts of our country, heard the news on Thursday with a sense of deep sadness and a profound sorrow. We lost not only our monarch, but also our north star. Her Majesty was a constant throughout our lives. As the night sky turns around the north star, so we have all...

8. Finance Committee Debate: The Welsh Government's spending priorities for 2023-24 (13 Jul 2022)

Alun Davies: I'm grateful to you, acting Presiding Officer. I'm grateful also to the Finance Committee, grateful to you for you coming to Llanhilleth, of course, to conduct some of your work, but also for hosting this debate this afternoon, which I think is absolutely crucial in setting the terms of the debate that we'll have on the Welsh Government's budget over the coming months. Unlike others, without...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: The Economic Impact of Brexit (13 Jul 2022)

Alun Davies: Minister, I agree very much with the premise of the question that Brexit has been enormously damaging to the Welsh economy. I also agree, for the record, and I presume the Minister does, although I won't put him in the situation of asking him this, that he disagrees with leaving the single market and the current position of the UK Labour Party. But it's important, I think, that we recognise,...

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 5 Jul 2022)

Alun Davies: Could I ask for a debate on our procedures here in this place? To my knowledge, we've had no review of procedures in this Senedd since the election last year, and I don't remember any serious review of such things in the previous Senedd either. We had an exchange in First Minister's questions on the single market. Now, wherever you might stand on that matter, and my views are very well known...
