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

James Evans: You'll be pleased to know the chair of the cross-party group has taken a minute out of my speech, so you'll be glad to know about that. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to speak in this debate today. Over 200,000 people in Wales live with diabetes, with over 0.5 million people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. On those figures alone, we should all be be taking an active interest...

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Reducing Agricultural Waste (29 Jun 2022)

James Evans: I'd like to thank Jayne Bryant for raising this question. Your own figures suggest, Minister, around 30 per cent of waste produced on farms is of that low-grade plastic, and it can be extremely difficult for farmers to dispose of. What I'd like to know is what actions are the Welsh Government taking to set up co-operatives and work with farmers so they can actually help for that plastic to be...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: The UK Government's Economic Policy (29 Jun 2022)

James Evans: Minister, the UK Government's strong economic policy since 2010, and having that long-term economic plan, has helped deliver the best settlement Wales has ever had: £18 billion-worth of funding this year. And, because of the UK Government's strong economic policies, we've got the levelling-up fund, the community renewal fund, city and growth deals, free ports, investment in green energy and...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Floods (22 Jun 2022)

James Evans: Thank you for that answer, Minister. I’ve heard accounts from many of my constituents really struggling to get insurance in subsequent years after flooding events. Some of these properties have not even been flooded, but they fall within the postcode area, and therefore are classed as high flood risk. These people have significantly less choice of insurance providers, often paying a lot...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: The Value of Trees (22 Jun 2022)

James Evans: As we all know, trees are very important to tackling climate change. But with the Welsh Government's decision recently to purchase Gilestone Farm in my community, I think I just heard you, Minister, say you do not plant on productive land. So, I'd just like some assurances from yourself, and for the community in my constituency, that you do not intend to plant trees on Gilestone Farm, which...

6. Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform — Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales ( 8 Jun 2022)

James Evans: No, thank you.  You say the public voted for this in your manifestos, but there is nothing in your manifestos to say that we're going to have 96 more Members. Plaid Cymru came third in the last election—not first, not second, but third—so I don't think anybody on that side of this Chamber has got a mandate for change. We, on these benches, trust the public to make big decisions. We...

6. Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform — Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales ( 8 Jun 2022)

James Evans: You might not like to hear what I've got to say, but I'm sure some of the people of Wales will. Well, well, well. It's been almost a year to the day since I stood in this Chamber and I delivered a speech against, then, Labour, Plaid and the Lib Dems' calls for more powers to this Senedd. Now, we're back here again discussing having more politicians. No wonder people out there think...

3. Debate: The Platinum Jubilee (24 May 2022)

James Evans: I'm thrilled today that we are having this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate the life of service given to the people of Great Britain and the Commonwealth by an amazing person, someone who has put duty and service and dedication above all other things. That person is Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. For 70 years, the Queen has served us with distinction, and I and my constituents in...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (24 May 2022)

James Evans: What assessment has the First Minister made of the impact of funding more Members of the Senedd on frontline public services?

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Child and adolescent mental health (18 May 2022)

James Evans: Diolch, Llywydd, and I will just wait for Members to exit the Chamber so that it quietens down just a little bit.

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Child and adolescent mental health (18 May 2022)

James Evans: Thank you, Llywydd. This vital debate today on the mental health of children and young people, I think, is one of the most important debates we've had in the Senedd, and it is a shame that so many Members have just left the Chamber when we are debating such an important topic.

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Child and adolescent mental health (18 May 2022)

James Evans: A lot of people in this Chamber have personal experience of dealing with mental health problems. I have suffered with mental health problems myself in the past, and I think it's very important that more people come forward to talk about mental health issues, so that we can destigmatise mental health and allow people to come forward to seek the help and support they need. Young people today...

3. Topical Questions: Gilestone Farm (18 May 2022)

James Evans: Thank you for your statement, Minister. Over the last week, I have been inundated with phone calls, e-mails and social media comments around the Welsh Labour Government's decision to buy Gilestone Farm in Talybont-on-Usk. I, and many of my constituents, have some very valid questions over the purchase and letting of the farm to the owners of the Green Man Festival. They have some varied...

James Evans: Will the Minister provide an update on the advice schools give to children on the use of social media?

2. Business Statement and Announcement (17 May 2022)

James Evans: Diolch, Trefnydd. The phosphate regulations imposed by Natural Resources Wales in the river special areas of conservation are still having major issues right across Wales, and we are very near to crisis point in many of our industries, with our building profession almost coming to a halt in certain parts of Wales. So, can we have a statement from the Minister for Climate Change around the...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Health Services (17 May 2022)

James Evans: It's nice to hear so many Members agree with me, Llywydd.  With many wards in my constituency closing due to staff shortages, surely that £16 million would be better spent addressing our workforce problems and not putting more bums on seats in here?

1. Questions to the First Minister: Health Services (17 May 2022)

James Evans: I'd like to thank the First Minister for that answer. Many people across my constituency have contacted me in recent days and weeks who are very concerned about the long and lengthy waiting times in all the district general hospitals that serve the residents of my consistency. Many of them would like to see a district general hospital built within my constituency, or at least more services...
