Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:52 pm on 22 November 2016.
I said last week in this Chamber that class A drugs were being sold openly within a stone’s throw of this Assembly, and that a 13-year-old girl, in a public meeting, said that she was frightened to go out because of the drug dealers. We’re in a situation where front-line police officers don’t have the resources to do the job properly and the commissioner is invisible. When will the Government make a statement about this and a statement of intent to do something about it?
Secondly, there’s another matter, which came up in the Public Accounts Committee last week, when it was revealed that the instrument landing system at St Athan is not fully operational. You’ve had four years to get it operational fully and it’s still not happened. It was revealed, furthermore, that, as a result of this, a contract with EasyJet worth millions of pounds has been lost. Thirdly, it was confirmed that Cardiff Aviation has paid no rent. Now, without a landing system, I don’t blame them, quite frankly.
There’s also another issue about due diligence and the finance through Finance Wales. So, when will the Government be making a statement about this most important matter, which you’ve had four years to sort out and you still haven’t?
