The recent Senedd election saw a poor turnout of 47 per cent across Wales. There is still widespread confusion about what powers the Senedd currently has control over, and a massive piece of work needs to be done to get people to engage with the process we have here and the work we do to improve the lives of the people of Wales. This is a challenge not just for us here, but for devolved Governments right across the United Kingdom: to try to increase public awareness and involve them in the electoral process.

This should be a top priority for this Senedd, but instead, Plaid Cymru, Labour and the Liberal Democrats are intent on playing constitutional games here in Wales, consistently working against the UK Government and not with them, accusing the UK Government and Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom of threatening devolution. All you're doing is calling for further powers and reform to our great union. It's not wanted here in Wales. We are stronger together—a part of the United Kingdom.

Why would the people of Wales want us to have any control over any more powers, when the Welsh Labour Government aren't effectively running Wales with the powers they currently have? Education in Wales isn't performing as it should be, various health boards have been in special measures, you've got people waiting for cancer treatment, waiting list times are going up, major infrastructure projects have been cancelled or delayed and our business sector feel neglected, and all you want to talk about is further powers and creating constitutional chaos, when the only job we should be doing is focusing on recovery and focusing on improving the lives of the people of Wales.

So, what is the aim here? What is your obsession with more powers? To many outside this Cardiff Bay bubble, this looks like state-building towards an independent Wales, and from the last results just over a month ago, there is no desire in my constituency of Brecon and Radnorshire, or Conwy or any of these Conservative benches, and wider, for independence or referendums or any more powers to this Senedd. The people of my constituency and the whole of Wales just want us to get on with the job. So, this motion should be voted down today, and let's just get on with the job of representing the people of Wales and not creating more confusion than what there currently is. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
