There are two matters I’d like to raise with the leader of the house. Firstly, can we have a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for the economy on what the Government is doing to intervene when local community assets and landmarks are at risk? In my region, the iconic Market Hall cinema in Brynmawr has been closed since November because of asbestos problems, and there’s a growing concern in the community that it may not be a temporary closure. So, I’d be interested in a statement from the Cabinet Secretary to see what action the Government is taking to intervene to protect and defend community assets.

Can we also have a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for the economy on what the Government is doing to tackle unfair bus fares? There is rightly a lot of concern about rail fares and the inflation of rail fares, but it’s been brought to my attention that a weekly bus ticket in Merthyr costs £10 and the equivalent ticket issued by the same company in Ebbw Vale is £25. This seems an unjust discrepancy, and I think it warrants a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for the economy to this Assembly.
