8. 8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Economic Development in the South Wales Valleys (17 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: If you want to toss a coin to decide who. I’ll give way to the Member for—.

8. 8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Economic Development in the South Wales Valleys (17 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I am pleased to move the motion in the name of Rhun ap Iorwerth. The former south Wales coalfields, the Valleys, have been in a state of economic crisis probably since at least the general strike of 1926. And since then, there have been a number of initiatives over the decades, often in response to social unrest, each one failing to achieve the objective of a just...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>Currency Fluctuations</p> (17 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that answer. I’d be very interested to hear what specifically ‘redoubling’ actually means. I think it’s fair to say that when negotiations begin between the UK and the EU on our withdrawal from the European Union there might be market volatility, there might be further currency fluctuations as every angle of the negotiations is analysed, and the...

1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure: <p>Currency Fluctuations</p> (17 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: 6. What impact has recent currency fluctuations had on Welsh exports? OAQ(5)0168(EI)

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>The Manufacturing Industry</p> (16 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Figures released last week show that UK industrial output shrank for a third month in a row, with the manufacturing sector falling by 0.6 per cent, and the UK’s trade deficit doubling to more than £10.5 billion. As a country here in Wales with a proud industrial and manufacturing past, it’s sad that the proportion of apprenticeships in manufacturing fell from 6 per cent in 2006 to a...

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>The Manufacturing Industry</p> (16 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: 9. Will the First Minister make a statement on Welsh Government support for the manufacturing industry? OAQ(5)0606(FM)

7. 7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Borrowing and the Economy (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Would the Member give way?

7. 7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Borrowing and the Economy (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Can he tell me on how many occasions in the last 100 years the UK has been in surplus and has had no national debt at all?

6. 6. Plaid Cymru Debate: NHS Privatisation (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: I thank the Cabinet Secretary for giving way. I know he’s repeating the line on the single market, but specifically in my contribution I asked about customs arrangements and the UK Government’s signal intention at least to partially withdraw from the European Union Customs Union. Therefore, with that in mind, what, as a Cabinet Secretary in the Welsh Government, is your view of future...

6. 6. Plaid Cymru Debate: NHS Privatisation (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: I want to focus my remarks this afternoon on the implications of new customs arrangements for the national health service and other devolved matters, because whatever our differing views on the decision to leave the customs union and leave the European single market, we can all agree, whether we were leave or remain, or nationalists or unionists, that that is going to have consequences that...

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Devolution of Policing (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Would the Member take an intervention?

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Devolution of Policing (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Obviously, at the moment, the way Wales is funded is that we are not funded as an entity in our own right because we come under and England-and-Wales entity. But, if we became a policing entity, with devolved powers over policing, then we would become a devolved entity as far as policing is concerned, and the Barnett formula would apply. That means that our budgets would increase, based on...

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Devolution of Policing (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: I thank the Member for giving way. As I referred to in my contribution, there is a porous border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and the mutual assistance agreements have worked there, even at times when policing hasn’t been devolved to Northern Ireland. So, would he at least recognise that porous borders, or any borders for that matter, are not a barrier for better,...

5. 5. Debate by Individual Members under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Devolution of Policing (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Diolch, Llywydd. I’m pleased to move the motion today with colleagues Mike Hedges, Sian Gwenllian and Julie Morgan. Our motion is in three parts: firstly, noting that policing is devolved to the other two devolved nations of the UK; secondly, calling for the devolution to Wales of policing—the only nation where it is not devolved; and thirdly, expressing the view that certain specialist...

QNR: Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education (10 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on pupil and student safety on overseas field trips?

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Safety on Foreign Field Trips</p> ( 9 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: On several occasions, I’ve implored the Government to intervene further in the case of Glyn Summers, who lost his life on a foreign college trip to Spain. Glyn’s parents, with great dignity, have demanded full transparency in terms of the woeful investigation that followed their son’s death, and they believe that there should be an automatic right to an independent investigation in such...

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>The First Ministers of the UK’s Devolved Governments </p> ( 9 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: The issue raised by the Member for Dwyfor Meirionnydd is crucial, and it’s been identified for several months now that the future governance of the UK’s internal market will give an indication of the future of the constitution of this country. So, can I ask the First Minister what progress he has made in terms of persuading his counterparts in Scotland and Northern Ireland to agree that...

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Negotiations with the EU</p> ( 9 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: Will the First Minister agree with me that the kind of language being used by the Prime Minister to attack our friends and neighbours on the continent helps nobody in terms of the negotiations that are to come? It doesn’t only tarnish Theresa May’s Government, but it also threatens to tarnish the reputation of Wales. The First Minister’s asking for ideas in going forward, to mitigate...

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister: <p>Safety on Foreign Field Trips</p> ( 9 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: 7. Will the First Minister make a statement on pupil and student safety on foreign field trips? OAQ(5)0585(FM)

7. 7. UKIP Wales Debate: Energy and Environment Policy ( 3 May 2017)

Steffan Lewis: I thank the Member for giving way. As a resident of the local community myself, I was outraged at the illegal felling that has taken place and is being investigated. But doesn’t he believe that the fact that it is illegal demonstrates that it isn’t the law that is the problem; it’s what we do once the law is broken that’s the problem, and just replacing 150 to 200-year-old beech trees...
