Papers to note

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Cleaning up our rivers, lakes and seas
Deputy First Minister, in your former incarnation as the Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee you often eloquently made the case for us not outsourcing legislation to Westminster, but legislating ourselves here. So, maybe you could…

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
Just on this very specific legal point, isn't it true that that risk applies to everything, every clause of every Bill? In theory, there's the possibility of a challenge, because there are certain things, you know, human rights et cetera, which only the…

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
Following him closely, there are Parliaments in the world that have intersectional quotas that actually do use legislative quotas not just for gender, but also for other aspects of under-representation. Would he support that approach?

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
I was just wondering, and I'm sorry if I've missed it already, but could you say something more about the reason that you have concluded, contrary to one of the key recommendations of the LJC Committee, I believe, that having an Order in Council that…

Questions to the First Minister
Could I just say at the outset, at a personal level, Vaughan, I realise how difficult a day this will be for you and how sad a day it will be for those who are close to you and care for you? And I think, as the Llywydd said, whatever our disagreements…

Topical Questions
I'm afraid we're still left in this intensely difficult position whereby we have two conflicting accounts of what happened, which are seemingly impossible to reconcile, and we can't leave that just there, unresolved. It's not fair in terms of the individuals…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
'No-one would be forgiven for trying to rip up and reconstruct the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice at a time when crime is blighting our streets'. So, just follow the logic of that: the very institutions that have led to this situation, where crime is…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
The Labour Party has been rowing back so quickly on its commitments in terms of policing and justice that perhaps they should bid for late entry to the Olympic Games. [Laughter.] I've never seen a change happen so swiftly, from the Thomas commission report…

Thank you very much, Dirprwy Lywydd, and I'm very grateful to all Members who have contributed to this debate. As one Rhydaman boy to another, I would say, Tom, that your Welsh is excellent. It's something that I have to tell myself as I look in the mirror…
