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

Jane Dodds: Thank you very much to Sam for moving this motion.

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

Jane Dodds: The well-being of future generations Act highlights the importance of cohesive communities and a thriving Welsh culture and language, and our shows have such an important contribution to achieving those aims. Whether that be, as has been mentioned, the Royal Welsh Show, held in Llanelwedd, which is a huge economic draw for that part of Brecon and Radnorshire, or the Trefeglwys eisteddfod in...

8. Finance Committee Debate: The Welsh Government's spending priorities for 2023-24 (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd dros dro. Thank you so much to the committee for their work in producing this report. As the Minister will know, I want to see a children and young people's budget. As chair of the cross-party group on children and families, I was particularly interested to read the views of the Members of the Welsh Youth Parliament. They've highlighted improving mental health services...

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Yes, let's compliment each other and our political parties, apart from perhaps over on that bench. So, let's—[Interruption.]

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: That's absolutely right. There is a view that, actually, universal basic income means that people can be freed up to be those entrepreneurs, to be those self-starters, and it is a shame that we didn't hear some of those positive suggestions from our colleagues over there. I really just wanted to also talk about how Wales has been innovative. Wales has the Well-being of Future Generations...

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Thank you very much, and I thank everyone who has taken part in this debate.

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Can I thank my co-submitters, Jack Sargeant, Carolyn and Luke as well? Diolch yn fawr i chi i gyd. Thank you to everybody also who took part, and I'm just going to pick up on some of the points that were raised, if I may. Jack, thank you for your continued support for a basic income for our care-experienced young people. That has been such a wonderful and significant change for those young...

7. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Thank you so much to the Business Committee for choosing this motion. In the last three months, monsoon rains unleashed disastrous flooding in Bangladesh; brutal heat waves seared parts of south Asia and Europe; prolonged drought has left millions on the brink of famine in east Africa; and, close to home, look at what's happening here: we're experiencing extremely high...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: The Economic Impact of Brexit (13 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Good afternoon, Minister. Can I continue the theme of leaving the European Union? Just looking at the Conservatives' undercooked Brexit of a meal, I wanted to focus on the UK Government-introduced controls around the high-risk imports of animals, animal products, plants and plant products. Some industry representatives have warned that these controls would significantly increase costs on UK...

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rejoining the single market ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Yes, thank you for that. We have rehearsed these arguments many, many times. And you're right to say that a very slight majority of people in Wales voted to leave the EU, but what they've seen is a raft of lies in terms of what they thought would be delivered to them and, therefore, we have to think differently. I will finish in a minute, if you'll allow me to move on. I was just touching on...

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rejoining the single market ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. I've heard from small businesses, including the Welsh FSB, who are really struggling with the bureaucracy, the red tape, the additional financial burden caused by the Conservative's deal. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of Government to ensure that its citizens are well looked after, and we can only truly address the cost-of-living crisis by regaining access...

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rejoining the single market ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Of course I will.

10. Plaid Cymru Debate: Rejoining the single market ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Well, stop the press, the Liberal Democrats are in favour of rejoining both the single market and the customs union, and rejoining the European Union, at some point in the future. I have to say, it is, of course, a little bit disappointing that Labour support for the single market seems to have been abandoned, and I am, I'll say, very confused by their current situation, which seems to change...

7. Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A ban on ‘no pet’ clauses in rented accommodation ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Thank you so much to Luke for bringing forward this debate. Diolch yn fawr iawn. You all know that I have a greyhound called Arthur. I've never been homeless, but if I had been in that situation, I don't know what choice I would make—either to sleep somewhere where I couldn't be with Arthur or to carry on being with him and, potentially, be out on the streets. That's the issue I want to...

4. Topical Questions: Looked-after Children and Young People ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Diolch, Gweinidog. Last night we heard about shocking, disturbing and sad interviews with children and young people in care, who endured exploitation, abuse, violence and threats in bed and breakfasts and hostels where they were placed. This is six years after the Welsh Government had promised to eliminate the use of all unregulated accommodation for children and young people in our care....

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Human Rights Act 1998 ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Thank you to Delyth for raising this very important issue.

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Human Rights Act 1998 ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: I do think this opens up a wider debate that is needed here in Wales regarding our collective human rights. As you've said, many UN conventions were enshrined in EU legislation, and given the current Government's record on attempting to dismantle much of what is left of EU law, it would be, as you said, and as Delyth has alluded to as well, sensible for us here in Wales to take a more...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: Residential Care Institutions ( 6 Jul 2022)

Jane Dodds: Diolch, Gweinidog. Thank you firstly for the Welsh Government's different approach to that of the UK Conservative Government in relation to removing profit from the care of children looked after. It's an important step forward, and I'm grateful to the Welsh Government for their support on this issue. As you say, Minister, in 2017 the Welsh Government committed themselves to ensuring that...
