Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:33 pm on 13 February 2018.
On the first point that Darren Millar raises, I don't think it's at all appropriate to have a statement about an individual planning issue, so I suggest very strongly that he writes and gets the answer that he seeks for his constituents direct from the Minister.
On the second, I think that support for our traditional Welsh pubs is a very important issue. I was very pleased to see the revival of the cross-party group on support for the pub. I feel obliged to point out to our colleagues in UKIP that I myself have been seen in a pub recently, and not just in coffee shops, as he suggested some women Assembly Members ought to confine themselves to. So, I'd just like to make it plain that I have been known to be seen in a pub, which you'll be astonished by. I think it is a very important point and I'm certainly going to be discussing with my colleague, the Cabinet Secretary, about what we can say about continuing support for our public houses.
