Samuel Kurtz: Thank you for your reply, Trefnydd.

1. Questions to the First Minister: Water Quality (27 Sep 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: The end of August saw sewage dumped into the water at Wiseman's Bridge in my constituency, resulting in the bathing water directive finding the water quality unacceptable. This pollution incident was one of a number across the south Pembrokeshire coast. Incidents such as this are often caused by combined sewage overflows, or CSOs. With water quality a fully devolved matter, completely within...

Samuel Kurtz: Thank you, Llywydd. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute today.

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

Samuel Kurtz: On behalf of the constituents of Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, I very much echo the words, comments and sentiments of those who have contributed today. Tributes to Her late Majesty the Queen have come from all four corners of the world, and many have spoken more eloquently and written more articulately about Her Majesty and her reign than I ever could, so it is her words that I use...

11. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events (13 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: These events are the silver thread running through the story and narrative of our history and culture. Their importance and contribution cannot be overestimated. Therefore, Members, as the sun beats down on us and we go and plan our summer recess visits, I not only urge you to back our motion before you today, but I also urge you all to visit our agricultural shows, our eisteddfodau and all...

11. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events (13 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Our eisteddfodau are crucial in strengthening and safeguarding our language and culture. As a young boy, the summer weeks were full of travelling across west Wales taking part in local eisteddfodau, reciting poems on the stage, and on occasion, I'd win a cup or two. When the 2020 Eisteddfod was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first time that the Eisteddfod hadn't...

11. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events (13 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. On this, the final Plenary day of term before the summer recess, I am delighted to open this debate on behalf of the Welsh Conservatives on a subject very close to my heart. Our debate today pays tribute to the hard work that goes into the organising, running and operating of our agricultural shows, our major cultural events, such as the National Eisteddfod, and other...

9. Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: 'Refreshing Wales’ Bovine TB Eradication Programme' (13 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute. Bovine TB has been a dark cloud over Wales's agricultural industry for too long, costing some farmers their businesses, their livelihoods and severely impacting on their mental health. Frankly, I don't care who gets the plaudits for eradicating TB from Welsh herds, because it is such a vicious disease, causing immense hardship, I just want to...

5. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: 10-year Welsh in Education Strategic Plans (12 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: I thank the Minister for introducing this today and giving us sight of the statement beforehand. May I start by welcoming the general direction of today's announcement? As a pupil who benefited from bilingual education, it's good to see that Welsh-medium education for primary school pupils is a priority, because it's important to catch children early if we're to develop the language. I'd be...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (12 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: What action has the Welsh Government taken to decarbonise industry in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire?

6. Motion to annul the Non-Domestic Rating (Amendment of Definition of Domestic Property) (Wales) Order 2022 ( 6 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Thank you, James. That's one of the really concerning parts of this—that a lot of these properties that will be hamstrung by this have never been residential properties. They are developed outbuildings on farms, for example, which have never housed people full time, but provide such an important part of the local economy.

4. Topical Questions: The Sustainable Farming Scheme ( 6 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Yes, of course. I've got many questions on this, Dirprwy Lywydd, so—

4. Topical Questions: The Sustainable Farming Scheme ( 6 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Well, thank you very much. But, in terms of this, there are many different types of farms in Wales—how can a 10 per cent blanket coverage be relevant to those farms on the coast of Wales, where trees can't grow as well as on those inland? I appreciate what the Deputy Presiding Officer has said, so I will wrap it up there, but I am keen to hear more on the sustainable farming scheme, going...

4. Topical Questions: The Sustainable Farming Scheme ( 6 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Minister, thank you for your response. I'm pleased to see how far this statement has progressed since the initial 'Brexit and our land' consultation of 2018, where replacement funding was first discussed. Firstly, I am left disappointed that, given the press release calling this a landmark announcement—and indeed it is, as this is the replacement to the basic payment scheme and the first...

4. Topical Questions: The Sustainable Farming Scheme ( 6 Jul 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: 2. Will the Minister make a statement on the new sustainable farming scheme proposals? TQ654

11. Short Debate: Our Cymru: Creating a leading football nation (29 Jun 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: I'm grateful to the Member for Alyn and Deeside for giving me a minute of his time. In making Wales a leading footballing nation, I'd like to pay tribute to the coaches, who often give up their time free of charge. And one of those coaches who got me involved with football back in the day, when I was a youngster, was Matthew 'Minty' Lamb, a former FAW community coach of the year. I was...

8. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Diabetes (29 Jun 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Thank you. I'm grateful for your taking the intervention. You've mentioned type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but one that makes up about 9 per cent of all diagnoses is type 3c diabetes, which is something that my father suffers from, and that goes far too often undiagnosed for those who suffer from pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. What more do you think we can be doing to make sure that people...

7. Debate on petition P-06-1277, 'Save A&E. Withybush General Hospital must retain 24 hour, 7 days a week, Consultant Led urgent care' (29 Jun 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: Minister, these aren’t just my constituents or Paul’s constituents, these are your constituents too. They do not back the proposals to remove A&E services. Please offer some certainty to the constituents of mine, Paul, Joyce, Jayne, Cefin, and yours, that lives will not be put at risk should A&E services move further away from where they're currently situated, because nothing I’ve heard...

7. Debate on petition P-06-1277, 'Save A&E. Withybush General Hospital must retain 24 hour, 7 days a week, Consultant Led urgent care' (29 Jun 2022)

Samuel Kurtz: I'm pleased that we have another opportunity to raise the issue of keeping a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week accident and emergency department at Withybush hospital in Haverfordwest. I'm grateful to the Chair and the Petitions Committee for bringing this forward. May I begin my contribution by paying tribute to the efforts of local Pembrokeshire people, who have co-ordinated and organised this...
