Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I declare an interest as a director in a farming business. Minister, the point that was made by the Labour spokesperson on the slaughter of wildlife, no-one wants to see wildlife slaughtered. It is bizarre to me, in the…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. I should have declared a point of interest on the supplementary question on bovine TB, and I would like that to be on the record. Thank you.

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, for the policies of the Government to be effective in the environment portfolio, you need some of the best land managers in the world to be looking after our countryside, and we have them in Wales in the farming community. One of the key…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
By all means. You talked about warm hubs. Are you proud that you're a member of a party that withdrew the winter fuel allowance and has taken that away from 570,000 pensioners here in Wales, which will see 4,000 premature deaths? Are you proud as a First…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I formally move the motion standing on the order paper today, and I also reject the two amendments that have been added by the opposition party and the governing party in relation to the motion. Most politicians seem to…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Minister, thank you for that answer. I recall the First Minister saying last week in First Minister's questions that the Welsh Government had done an analysis, but I think, in response to Llyr Gruffydd's question, you indicated that it was more of a general…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
Thank you, finance Minister. It's a bit of a groundhog day standing here asking you questions. Obviously, one of the measures that came out of the UK Government budget was the increase in national insurance contributions to employers. That, potentially, has a…

Questions to the First Minister
I still haven't had a single figure from you, despite twice asking and wishing you well in your endeavours, because the consequences of the blockages in our health service were shown again down in west Wales, in Nantgaredig Rugby Football Club, where a player…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for the word soup, First Minister; I was looking for some real hard and fast targets, because in those 100 days since you’ve become First Minister, there have been an additional 9,000 pathways added to waiting lists here in Wales, there have been…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, your hundredth day in office is on Thursday, and you rightly at the outset of taking up the office highlighted bringing waiting times down as being of top priority for the Government and that all agencies of the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
I’m grateful. Thank you, finance Secretary. Could you pinpoint to me where the OBR—because you use this as a line of defence for the budget and the £22 billion supposed black hole—could you pinpoint where the OBR highlighted the existence of that £22 billion…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, as I said to you, it's another broken promise. The Chancellor, when she was the shadow Chancellor, said that raising national insurance was a tax on jobs. The business Secretary, when he was the shadow business Secretary, said exactly the same…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. The other broken promise we saw was around national insurance and the uplift in national insurance that will have such a devastating impact—an employment tax, a jobs tax that the Chancellor highlighted in opposition and so…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, no apologies, no sense of distress at what the farming community are going to face. [Interruption.] What I am going to say to you is this is a broken promises budget, that ultimately—[Interruption.]

Questions to the First Minister
It's nice to see they've found their voice after many weeks of sitting in silence. It was a budget of broken promises and brutal betrayal. When you look at the agricultural community and the change in agricultural property relief, when the Department for…

Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. First Minister, last week's budget was a budget of broken promises. We saw first-hand—[Interruption.] I thought that would get a reaction. [Interruption.] I thought that would get a reaction—

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
Of course, the lengthy period of silence we've had from the former First Minister and finance Minister and all those Members is not one criticism of the failure of the Labour Government to deliver the winter fuel allowance for pensioners that will see 4,000…

Topical Questions
A couple of points, if I may. I was of the understanding from the reports that I've read that the £19 million is the quantifiable amount of money that's owed to HMRC at the moment. It is not the totality of the liability and the discussions are ongoing, and…
