Janet Finch-Saunders: —sorting out our infrastructure, our transport. I could go on and on and on, but he won't let me.
Janet Finch-Saunders: Would you not agree with me that we need—
Janet Finch-Saunders: —to start concentrating on the issues—
Janet Finch-Saunders: —that face the people of Wales and less on this vanity project for Plaid Cymru?
Janet Finch-Saunders: Diolch, Llywydd. Of course, my original question was what legal advice has the Counsel General provided to the Welsh Government following the Supreme Court ruling that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to legislate for a referendum on Scottish independence. Now, this outcome has huge constitutional significance for Scotland and Wales, I believe. It essentially means that Wales...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Minister, a number of my constituents in Aberconwy have raised concerns that, in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, you still continue to pursue the idea of a universal basic income. UBI by its very nature is a hugely costly experiment and is no substitute for a genuine decarbonisation plan.

Janet Finch-Saunders: Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 25 inserts a new section onto the face of the Bill. This amendment requires Welsh Ministers to ensure that local authorities receive sufficient funding to carry out actions required as a result of this Bill. Many of us here in the Senedd know that, quite often, when laws are passed here, the implications that are passed down to local authorities to enforce,...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Let's move to the vote.
Janet Finch-Saunders: Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 24 does insert a provision to clarify the defence of a person facing proceedings for an offence of supplying single-use plastic to consumers in Wales. Now, I tabled this as I do think that it is important that businesses are protected from being wrongfully accused of supplying single-use plastic. Businesses have had a tough time during COVID and indeed, now, they're...
