QNR: Questions to the First Minister ( 7 Jun 2022)

Mike Hedges: Will the First Minister provide an update on the adoption of roads by councils in Wales?

4. 90-second Statements (25 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: May is brittle bone month. Brittle bone disease is a rare disorder that results in fragile bones that break easily. It's present at birth and usually develops in children who have a family history of the disease. The disease is often referred to as osteogenesis imperfecta, which means imperfectly formed bone. Brittle bone disease can range from mild to severe. It should not be confused with...

QNR: Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd (25 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: How is the Welsh Government supporting organic farming in Wales?

2. Business Statement and Announcement (24 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: I want to ask for a Welsh Government statement on eating disorders. The 2018 eating disorders service review put forward an ambitious vision, based on earliest access to effective treatment and support in every part of Wales. Beat's new report finds that progress in expanding and improving eating disorders services has been very uneven. While access to treatment has improved in some areas, in...

4. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: The Housing-with-Care Fund (17 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: I very much welcome the Minister's statement on housing with care. Members probably remember my continual and regular call that decent, affordable housing is fundamental to the health and well-being of everyone in Wales. It's been really nice to have that echoed by the Minister today. The Attlee Government in 1945 realised the relationship between health and housing. That seems to have got...

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

Mike Hedges: Can I thank the First Minister for that response? Since the second world war, society has changed, which has led to an increase in loneliness and isolation for some. Families are smaller and more spread out, chapels and pubs have closed and the numbers attending have fallen significantly, work has become more fragmented, with work in the local factory becoming much rarer. Some choirs and...

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

Mike Hedges: 5. Will the First Minister outline Welsh Government action to combat loneliness in Wales? OQ58032

2. Questions to the Minister for Economy: The SA1 Development (11 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: Yes, I'm very much aware. The SA1 development in Swansea has been a huge success, not just the University of Wales Trinity St David and housing, but also a number of high-technology, mainly start-up companies that have developed around the university. Like Swansea vale, this is an excellent example of mixed development, and I hope to see similar developments across Wales, because this really...

2. Questions to the Minister for Economy: The SA1 Development (11 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: 6. Will the Minister provide an update on the SA1 development in Swansea? OQ57991

6. Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Local Government Elections (10 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I welcome the Minister's statement. I congratulate all councillors elected at the election, whatever party. I know all of them will do their best for their constituents over the next five years. I also believe that a number of Members here are relieved they will not have to keep on declaring an interest every time an item comes up relating to local...

4. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Welsh Housing Quality Standard 2 (10 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: I speak as someone who was brought up in a council house. I very warmly welcome this statement. The original Welsh housing quality standard has worked, and has worked very well. It has driven up the quality of social housing in Wales, both council and registered social landlords, or, as I normally call them, housing associations. It goes back to 2002, which is 20 years ago. Are those...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Fire and Rehire (10 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: Can I thank the First Minister for that response? Can I ask him to go a stage further and will he condemn the use of fire and rehire, and agree that it has no place in Wales and certainly no place in Welsh public services? Will the Welsh Government refuse to contract with firms that engage in fire and rehire and ask the Welsh Government funded bodies to do likewise?

1. Questions to the First Minister: Fire and Rehire (10 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: 6. What assessment has the First Minister made of the use of fire and rehire by companies in Wales? OQ57993

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh Economy ( 4 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: The Welsh economy has not performed well either before or after devolution. When the Assembly opened in 1999, online retail was in its infancy, it was eight years before the first iPhone, five years before YouTube came online, computer games generated a fraction of the income of today, and the Sega Dreamcast, the world's first internet-ready console, was a year away from being launched. Jobs...

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh Economy ( 4 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: You meant candidates.

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh Economy ( 4 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: Thank you very much for doing that. Will you agree that one of the other things we've got is lower rateable values in Wales so that the actual amount paid in Wales is quite often less than it would be in England or Scotland?

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Fire-and-rehire Practices ( 4 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: Will the Commission unequivocally condemn the use of fire and rehire, and will the Commission say that any funded contractor to the Commission that uses such method of reducing terms and conditions of employees will no longer be allowed to tender and be part of the Commission and employed by the Commission, whether they do it with other parts of the organisation, not just if they do it with...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: The Effect of Inflation ( 4 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: Quoting Jack Monroe: 'I did a £10 food shop in 2012...and re-did the exact same shop' in 2022, 'and it came to £17.11.' That's over a 70 per cent increase. Neither the minimum wage nor benefits have gone up anywhere near that level. Even with the change by the Office for National Statistics in its collection of inflation data, the huge increase in food costs is not being fully reflected in...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: The Effect of Inflation ( 4 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: 6. What assessment has the Minister made of the effect of inflation on people living on low incomes? OQ57954

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 3 May 2022)

Mike Hedges: I would like to ask for two Government statements. Firstly, many of my constituents were seriously concerned regarding a remark made by Jacob Rees-Mogg about the future of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in Swansea. I want to stress the importance of the DVLA to Swansea and the wider community. This was how the 1960s Labour levelling-up worked, by moving a Government department out of...
