[Inaudible.]—available in?

But it's available in other languages in other parts of the world.

So, your app is only available in English—

HSBC UK Welsh Service Line: evidence session with HSBC UK
But you're not doing it for me, and you're not doing it for others who speak the Welsh language. And this goes beyond simply a telephone line, doesn't it, because most of my banking, as I would guess most people's banking experience is, is using the app—you…

HSBC UK Welsh Service Line: evidence session with HSBC UK
My comments refer to a lot before the pandemic. It's been bad since the pandemic, but it wasn't good beforehand. And I'm not just talking about the time taken to answer a call; I'm talking about the service you get when you do answer the call. I think it's…

HSBC UK Welsh Service Line: evidence session with HSBC UK
I was interested in your answer to Delyth's question, because, I should say, I am a customer of HSBC. I have a premier account with you, and one of the things I've noticed—. I'd been a customer of Midland Bank before that, for probably most of the last 30…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Small businesses
All right. We've had enough now, Sam. [Laughter.]

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Small businesses
Does the Minister agree with me that the tax burden is at its highest since the second world war not to pay for investment in excellence in public services but to pay for the economic failures of austerity and Brexit?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Small businesses
Deputy Presiding Officer, we've seen the defence there, haven't we? We've seen the defence there—£46 in every £100 going to the richest 20 per cent, not by accident but through policy, by design. Eighty per cent of people don't matter to the Conservatives…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Small businesses
I’m not sure what that’s got to do with the autumn statement, but there we go; I was being generous. If you spoke to local businesses, certainly businesses in my constituency, you’d see that the Welsh Government is already doing that. I would do some…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Small businesses
I think one thing we'll all agree on is that Small Business Saturday is a real antidote to Cyber Monday and Black Friday, all these things that, frankly, I'd never heard of a few years ago and have come to dominate the retail space and certainly my inbox. It…

Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report, 'Wales-Ireland relations: Exploring an old relationship in a new age'
Can I say that I thoroughly enjoyed this inquiry? I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to talk, to debate and to discuss one of the oldest relationships we have. The relationship between Wales and Ireland, between the Welsh and the Irish, is a relationship…

Statement by Sam Rowlands—Introduction of a Member-proposed Bill: Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill
The Member makes a very good, strong and powerful case for his legislation. In many ways, I think there's agreement across the whole of the Chamber that these are the experiences that we want young people to have, which will enrich their childhood and enrich…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Economic Mission: Priorities for a Stronger Economy
I'm grateful to the Minister for his statement. I think the statement does root itself in the reality of an economy that has been battered both by a financial crisis, by austerity, and by policies such as the autumn statement last week, which saw money move…

Questions to the First Minister
At least you can trust the Tories to do what they always do. They use a financial statement to give more money to the rich and less to the poor. For every £100 the Chancellor spent on tax cuts last week, the top 2 per cent gained £46, and the bottom—the worst…

Motion to elect a temporary Chair under Standing Order 17.22 for the committee meeting on 4 December 2023
The word 'offered' is doing an awful lot of hard work in that sentence. [Laughter.]

Papers to note
Thanks very much, Huw. This raises a number of issues, doesn't it? We're going to be discussing later on in the meeting issues around UK legislation. Now, this implements a trade agreement. I would suggest that it probably has two impacts that we should be…

Scrutiny of the National Library of Wales - Autumn 2023
We have been discussing how priorities change, and you have focused on moving towards digital. If the library's integral role is to create a record of our history, and history that's being created today, then there's more value in looking at the WhatsApp…
