9. Debate on the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee report: Supporting and Promoting the Welsh Language ( 2 Oct 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you very much to those Assembly Members who contributed today, and well done to Caroline Jones, again, for practising her Welsh here today. It’s very important that we try to do so when we have the opportunity to do so. I have time, perhaps, just to explain some of the things that some Members had concerns about. I’d like to start, therefore, with this idea that Suzy put forward...

9. Debate on the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee report: Supporting and Promoting the Welsh Language ( 2 Oct 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you very much, Llywydd. It’s important for us in Wales that we have the ability to use the language of our choice in our everyday interactions with public services. Not only is it a basic right, but it’s crucial to building our sense of self and community. The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 was an important milestone in the history of our language. The Measure, for the first...

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Historic Industrial Infrastructure ( 2 Oct 2019)

Bethan Sayed: It was just on the point you were finishing off in relation to the cost. So, I'm just wondering if you have managed to have any conversations about the tunnels with the UK Government. Of course, I appreciate that just giving the cost of insurance wouldn't be enough, and that you'd need—. It's a massive liability. So, are you able to tell us if you're pursuing those conversations?

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 1 Oct 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you, and apologies.

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 1 Oct 2019)

Bethan Sayed: I was expecting Leanne to be called before me, sorry. Could we please have an update on complaints procedures and what people can do to get answers and better feedback and results when there are disputes with social services departments? I've had a number of cases from people in Bridgend who've had disputes with social services departments, which you appreciate I won't be going into here...

3. Topical Questions: Thomas Cook (25 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Thank you very much for that written statement. To start on a positive, I'd like to ask you if you'd join with me in praising Elaine Kerslake from Gilfach Goch, who arranged a whip-round on a flight that she was coming back from on Thomas Cook because she realised that the staff were not being paid. Therefore, would you want to praise her for doing that? But also would you join with me,...

3. Topical Questions: Thomas Cook (25 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: 1. What is the Welsh Government doing to help those impacted by the closure of Thomas Cook? 341

2. Business Statement and Announcement (24 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Last week, the Scottish National Party Government okayed the cystic fibrosis drug Orkambi, which is something that I and others in this Chamber, I'm sure, will welcome. But also last week, Corbyn tweeted, and I quote: 'People with cystic fibrosis in England, Wales and Northern Ireland still don’t have access to the life changing drug #Orkambi…The government must act.' Well, I know he...

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Climate Justice (18 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: I'm not trying to distort the situation. You supported that and I'm saying that is totally fine, but don't dismiss another cause just because it's deemed to be a strike and something that you don't think is politically pertinent for young people to do. I'm running out of time, so all I would like to say is: listen to the young people when they bring those issues to us. Take them seriously,...

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Climate Justice (18 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: The movement towards greater environmental awareness is a long one and it's been building momentum since the 1960s and 1970s across the world, and the current, arguably, much bigger movement has come about after years of raising awareness and concerns. So, we've submitted this motion because younger people are right to be concerned about the environment that they are currently set to inherit....

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Climate Justice (18 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: As you invited me, have you talked to some of those young people about why they're out on strike, instead of just tarnishing them because they're 'out on strike', which I think is deflecting from the real issue? They're campaigning about an issue that they care deeply about. Have you asked them why they're doing it? 

3. Business Statement and Announcement (17 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: The second request for a statement is—and I'm pleased the health Minister is here to hear me because I'm getting increasingly frustrated—about the fact that we are having no progress at all on the announcement as to what is happening with the eating disorders framework. I've been pretty tolerant, I think, in trying to wait for the outcome of the framework, but I've come to the point now...

3. Business Statement and Announcement (17 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: I'd like to ask for an update on what's happened in terms of the discussions between the Welsh Government and Ineos on the potential for the creation of 500 jobs when Ford—. Well, Ford have said that they are to leave the Bridgend site. If that does happen, we're given to understand from the Financial Times that Jim Ratcliffe is interested in that site. I have to say that I do have some...

1. Debate: Brexit and Prorogation of the UK Parliament ( 5 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Soundbites, spin, lies, chaotic debates, demos, slogans on buses, broken promises, half-sitting MPs, a distracting cwtchy dog. You name it, it’s probably all happened during this Brexit play. It would certainly give the The Thick of It a run for its money, anyway. But superficial spin and game playing is one thing in the yah-boo world of the asbestos-ridden Westminster Parliament, and the...

1. Debate: Brexit and Prorogation of the UK Parliament ( 5 Sep 2019)

Bethan Sayed: I just wanted to ask about this constant thing that you're saying, that there are negotiations happening. The Belgian MEP Philippe Lamberts used a swearword and said there were no negotiations happening at the moment—that there is no negotiation because there's no compromise on the backstop. There are no negotiations. Will you please stop lying in this Parliament that there are?

QNR: Questions to the Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government (17 Jul 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Will the Minister make a statement on the Welsh Government's progress in tackling homelessness in Wales?

2. Business Statement and Announcement (16 Jul 2019)

Bethan Sayed: I wanted to ask whether you have had any conversations with Neath Port Talbot council with regard to the decision to close Godre'rgraig Primary School after the Earth Science Partnership report reported that there would be a medium-level risk of a landslip. I know that local people there have been potentially alarmed, and even though the report says that the mountain hasn't moved, the school...

10. Short Debate: Caring for our carers: Securing the recognition, respite and support our carers deserve (10 Jul 2019)

Bethan Sayed: I just wanted to ask whether you knew that the figures that you quote are correct, because we know that this figure has been quoted for quite some time, and lots of unpaid carers don't actually define themselves as that. So, I was wondering if there was any work that you were doing as a Welsh Government to update yourselves on that. Many of us in this Chamber have raised this debate on...

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Assembly Reform (10 Jul 2019)

Bethan Sayed: That's not the point.

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Assembly Reform (10 Jul 2019)

Bethan Sayed: Will you take an intervention?
