QNR – in the Senedd on 8 February 2022.
Our winter fuel support scheme increased last week to £61 million as we doubled the payment to vulnerable households to £200. The so-called upfront rebate offered by the UK Government won’t take effect until six months after the energy price increase, and will do little to impact the immediate cost-of-living crisis.
Our PDG access grant goes direct to families for the purchase of uniform, sports kit and other extra-curricular activity resources. We have increased funding again this year to over £14 million, allowing us to fund eligible pupils in every school year in primary and secondary schools.
The manifesto on which the Member and I stood for election last May contained a commitment to ban the use of snares in Wales. Our intention is that it should be contained in the agriculture Bill that the Government will bring before the Senedd in our first year legislative programme.
