I'm grateful to you, Huw, for that. We found ourselves in the last session of the UK Parliament being very responsive to things that were happening, and at different times we were unaware of some of the conversations taking place between the UK and Welsh…

Papers to note
Thank you for that, Huw. Yes, I'm very happy to provide a report to Members. I think we should note that the arrangements made by the UK team and by the European Parliament were very good, and the meeting covered a lot of territory—much has been reported in…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 9—Minister for Climate Change
You've outlined a number of different proposals and policy responses that you're going to be putting in place there. Would it be possible for you to drop a line, a note, to the committee on a potential timescale for some of those matters, because it would…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 9—Minister for Climate Change
But, you know, this is my worry about future generations legislation. We all say we agree with it and I'm old enough to have voted for it, and I just don't know what it means in reality, and it appears neither do you. And that's fair enough in some ways, but…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 9—Minister for Climate Change
Yes, that's very high scale.

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 9—Minister for Climate Change
Okay. Just to finish off, you don't have the objectives at the moment and that's fair enough. Is it your intention through this Senedd, through the mandate of the current Government, to develop objectives and targets for different elements of your work?

They're mostly places we couldn't afford to live in.

Okay. Could you name a community that's successful? Would you like to identify one?

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 9—Minister for Climate Change
Sure, but how will you know, and what does that mean in reality? For example, one of the issues we discussed earlier in this inquiry was some communities that Mabon represents on Llŷn. What difference would this make for a community like, I don't know…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 9—Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Chair. I'd like to welcome you back to the Senedd, Minister. I like what you've been saying, Minister, about dealing with the issues of second homes, and I agree with the policy proposals that you've been making over the last period since the…

Housing Ukrainian refugees: Briefing from Housing Justice Cymru
I agree with all of those points, and I think they're all very fair and reasonable, but I'm not sure they address the scale of the challenge that you described earlier.

Housing Ukrainian refugees: Briefing from Housing Justice Cymru
I was just thinking, we're discussing where we are at the moment, but what would your shopping list to Government be? What are the actions that Government should be taking? We've agreed that, at the moment, the actions of Government are reasonable and fair…

Housing Ukrainian refugees: Briefing from Housing Justice Cymru
Thank you. You seem to be telling us—and tell me if I'm getting this wrong—that we are dealing, at the moment, by running fast, running hot, if you like, and dealing with all the temporary issues in terms of welcome centres and hosting—that what we have in…

Housing Ukrainian refugees: Briefing from Housing Justice Cymru
Would it not be the case, though, that, over the last few years, we've had quite an intense experience of finding homes for people in an emergency, shall we say? Because we've had the issues around the pandemic, which I think worked reasonably well—you know…

Thank you. And thank you for your time this morning, Bonnie. In terms of the structures that are in place, you've described the Welsh Government approach and you seem to be telling us that, in theory, it's a reasonably good approach. I'm interested to see how…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): The Holodomor
The right that we have today to discuss in safety and freedom these matters is a right that we should never take for granted. Our ability to have this debate is rooted in our knowledge and our information, and one of the great terrors that I feel today is…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): The Holodomor
Can I say I absolutely agree with the point that Darren Millar is making? And of course it's no accident, because what Stalin did, having committed genocide, was to ban information and to conceal his actions in Ukraine. And the ban on information that was…
, Plenary
Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): The Holodomor
At the end of this period, Stalin forced many Ukrainians, a million Ukrainian people, to leave their homes and their villages, and they were transported, forcibly removed, from Ukraine to Russia. That is happening today. It is happening again. And when we…
