Plaid Cymru Debate: Cost of living
I'll struggle to follow that, Delyth. It was very good. I strongly believe that fossil fuel companies and shareholders should not be profiting from the high price of fossil fuel, while households, businesses and public services are suffering such severe…

Statement by the First Minister: Update on the Cost of Living
I really value these measures coming forward, but to deliver them, we need public services, and I'm really concerned; I've heard from the Prime Minister about funding for businesses and also for households, but nothing for public services, and they're facing…

Motion of condolence and tributes to Her Majesty The Queen
As we come today to what I know as the debating Chamber, it's really good that we're coming together today, putting aside politics for once, and I'd like to recall the words of the late Jo Cox, where she said that 'There's more that unites us than divides…

Inquiry into community assets—evidence session 4: Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you. We’ve been listening to witnesses talk about issues with community asset transfer, mainly buildings, and there’s been a different approach across the 22 authorities, and some lack of consistency. It’s also been a long process for some, dealing with…
