Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
I'm just interested as to how we can bring the profession together in order to address some of these issues. I think some of the issues are structural, because I think having two Parliaments creating laws in the same place on the same subjects in the same…

Evidence session with the Law Council of Wales—matters in relation to justice in Wales
I'm grateful to you. Thank you. In many ways, you've been discussing and debating the issues that are of greatest concern to me. One of the really shocking things that we were told by Lord Thomas when he appeared before the committee was about the…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you very much, Counsel General, and I don't think anybody's surprised by that. The Rwanda plan is, of course, inhumane, unworkable and very probably illegal as well. It is driven by the short-term interests of a right-wing Tory Government rather than…

Yes. I'm grateful to witnesses for their time this morning. I'm looking at the future, and what are the interventions that you would like to see from Welsh Government that would help support and sustain the sports that you're representing this morning?

Yes, thank you. Just to follow up on a couple of the points that you've made in those answers, 500 pools is more than I anticipated hearing, actually. I assumed it was far fewer than that. In terms of access to those pools, are they working full-time public…

Yes. Could I ask the three governing bodies to write to us on the funding issue, outlining—I think Noel mentioned a figure of £150 million, wasn't it, that you mentioned, Noel—what impact that's going to have on your sports in the coming period, and where you…

Thank you. I was interested in reading the papers on Bargoed as well. I think it'd be useful for the committee to commission some research on that level of analysis in terms of a much more local view of the place of sport and physical activity in areas such…

Look, I think the ticketing policy, from my experience as a season ticket holder in Glamorgan, is reasonable, it's good, and it works. But the access isn't just for those of us who go to the ground, it's for people who are at home as well.

It becomes one, doesn't it? If you take rugby, for example—£100 a ticket, which means I can't take my family to watch games as I used to, and it's behind a paywall, so other people can't even watch it on tv. And so you can't price out the population from the…

Yes, if I could. I grew up with cricket on the tv and I watched it. My son grew up with cricket not on the tv, and he has no knowledge of cricket, not just no interest, but no knowledge. He's got a Glamorgan season ticket for the first time this year, so…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful to the First Minister for that answer. First Minister, we awoke to the news this morning that BP is making £1 billion profit every month, a £1 billion profit at a time when too many of the people we all represent in this place are terrified to…

I'm grateful to you for this. I'm just looking at the consistency of disappointments, if you like, from the House of Lords on engagement with our different Parliaments and with devolved administrations. And it does seem to be that this is a constant theme…

I'm grateful to you, Minister, for those responses. It's important that we recognise what is actually happening in the Grange, rather than simply listening to hearsay. There are some significant successes from the centralisation of services in the Grange, and…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Elections Bill

Legislative Consent Motion on the Building Safety Bill
It's quite something to be told to be brief by Lee Waters, isn't it? You say that you needed to get this onto the statute book as quickly as possible, but that, I'm afraid, Minister, simply is not true. There are procedures in place in the Senedd to enable…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Building Safety Bill
That's what I was building up to, fortunately, Presiding Officer. One of the difficulties, of course, of contributing from a remote location is that you can't see or hear what's going on in the Chamber, and I think that is something we need to consider…
