QNR: Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government (15 Sep 2021)

Hefin David: Will the Minister make a statement about local government boundary reforms?

1. Questions to the First Minister: Social Care (14 Sep 2021)

Hefin David: I'd respectfully say to the First Minister it would have been helpful, perhaps, to have had a verbal statement in the Chamber this afternoon on this, given that it was raised by the Deputy Minister for Social Services at the press conference and a written statement's been issued, and I think not least because national insurance is the most regressive way of funding additional social care, and...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Social Care (14 Sep 2021)

Hefin David: 6. Will the First Minister make a statement on the Welsh Government's response to the UK Government's reform of social care funding? OQ56834

4. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Cymraeg 2050 (13 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: I couldn't hear your voice, Dirprwy Lywydd. I've been contacted by a constituent whose son is coming to the end of year eight, and he’s concerned that successive lockdowns have meant his son has fallen significantly behind with his spoken and written Welsh in a Welsh-medium school. He’s contacted the National Centre for Learning Welsh—the NCLW—to ask about extra tuition over the...

4. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Cymraeg 2050 (13 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: Would the Minister consider expanding the remit of NCLW, perhaps simply for this summer, given the exceptional circumstances that exist, in order to allow them to provide support and additional training to those under the age of 18, for example to pupils in Welsh-medium secondary schools from non-Welsh-speaking households?

3. Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Convention on our Constitutional Future (13 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: I fully support the Counsel General's approach to this. I think it's bold, and it is Wales leading the way. We can't have asked for more than that. But I also feel some disappointment in that this is a longer term plan, which relies on the agreement of others, whereas right within the Welsh Government's grasp is a chance to produce 'A Parliament that Works for Wales'. That work's already been...

1. Questions to the First Minister: COVID-19 Variants of Concern (13 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: As you can imagine, a lot of Caerphilly residents have contacted me about international travel, and it seems, from the answer to Rhun ap Iorwerth, that the Welsh Government is minded to go in the same direction as the UK Government, for very practical reasons. That means people will travel at an amber level, even if advised not to. In England, TUI is offering travellers a £20 PCR test run by...

1. Questions to the First Minister: COVID-19 Variants of Concern (13 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: 4. Will the First Minister make a statement on the impact of COVID-19 variants of concern on communities in Caerphilly? OQ56785

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Small businesses and tourism ( 7 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: It's a good job I know the Minister well enough not to be offended by some of the jibes he made in his speech just then. I'll come to the things he said in a second, but I just wanted to make a comment about Delyth Jewell's contribution, because I think we were born in the same hospital, we went to school in the same town and I currently live in the place where she grew up, and also, you may...

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Small businesses and tourism ( 7 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: On the nature and the role of the small business, I think we often misunderstand the role of small businesses. They aren't engines of employment. In fact, the number of small businesses relative to population size is fairly static over time. I think we've got something like 6 million small businesses in the UK at this point in time—heading towards 6 million—and of those, the vast majority...

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Small businesses and tourism ( 7 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Excellent Welsh, by the way. 

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Small businesses and tourism ( 7 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: I don't know whether I'm delighted or disappointed that I see from the voting advice from the whips that the Welsh Government is voting in favour of our motion today. I think I'd probably be a bit worried if they changed their minds at the end of the debate. The aim of the debate today is to hear Members' views. I want to try and open this up and hear Members' views on this key issue as we...

QNR: Questions to the Economy Minister ( 7 Jul 2021)

Hefin David: Will the Minister make a statement on support for independent travel agents affected by the coronavirus pandemic?

5. Statement by the Minister for Economy: Young Person’s Guarantee (29 Jun 2021)

Hefin David: The Minister just made reference to Careers Wales/Gyrfa Cymru, with particular reference to the role that they will play in delivering the young person's guarantee. How will he make sure that they're both supported, adequately resourced and their staff are properly paid to deliver this programme?

1. Nominations for Committee Chairs (29 Jun 2021)

Hefin David: Chair, I would have liked to have taken the opportunity today to have nominated Mike Hedges and Alun Davies as joint Chairs of this committee on a job share, and, I have to say, it is disappointing that Business Committee has decided today not to allow a joint Chair to go ahead. I feel that it's an opportunity missed, and I'd like to put that on the record. 

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (29 Jun 2021)

Hefin David: Will the First Minister provide an update on Welsh Government efforts to tackle coronavirus in the Caerphilly constituency?

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Bus services (23 Jun 2021)

Hefin David: As Alun Davies said, there have been problems. Well, let's sort those out before we bring the pilot into Caerphilly, shall we? That's probably the best way to do it. I've been hounding the Minister for a Fflecsi service. Perhaps we can sort the problems out in Ebbw Vale first and then we'll perfect it in Caerphilly. That's the way things should happen. I think the Bill that we are expecting...

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Bus services (23 Jun 2021)

Hefin David: I want to see a flexible service to connect communities such as Ystrad Mynach and Nelson, for example. It's important that people can hop on and hop off when they need to. It would also be good to have an app and a phone number to book a bus. A pilot scheme like this is happening in Ebbw Vale at the moment, and that's good to see. It would be great to see that happening in Caerphilly, and we...
