Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill: Evidence session with the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Section 6 of the Bill disqualifies a person from standing as a candidate or from being a Member of the Senedd unless they are registered in the register of local government electors in Wales. So, what assessment has been made as to whether section 6 of the…

You've previously mentioned the impact on children if they're not able to access the various types of childcare at an early age, and how it impacts on their development, progress and well-being. So, would you like to elaborate on that further, anybody?

I'd like to ask a question regarding funding following a child, and, then, affordability of the setting, if that's okay. I remember when my children went to playgroup, I was on a playgroup committee, worried about funding for early years provision. The…

Plaid Cymru Debate: HS2 consequential funding
Cancelling HS2 and announcing £1 billion to electrify the north Wales coast line is a pie-in-the-sky, headline-grabbing statement, pulled out of thin air with no scheme, strategy or plan, no discussion with the Welsh Government or those that have been working…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A Bill to promote responsible dog ownership
Dog rescue centres are full, having been left to pick up the pieces after people bought dogs during COVID that they can no longer look after. Dogs became expensive, money-making commodities, selling for thousands of pounds, with often little regard to the…

When I went on a visit to Ireland—[Inaudible.]—I met with the Irish Maritime Development Office over there, and they're looking at developing wind turbine technology offshore. So, I was just wondering—. You said earlier that the free port in west Wales is…

Okay. And when the Windsor framework was announced, you hoped that it would improve UK-EU relations. Could you provide your view on this now, and whether improvements have materialised, going forwards? What are your priorities in relation to UK-EU trade?

Earlier we heard from Professor Katy Hayward, who told us that the new arrangements could lead to competitive advantages and disadvantages between Northern Ireland and GB, so how might this affect Wales and does it concern Welsh Government? You've mentioned…

The person I spoke to at the DfT said that it would be good to do it all together—just having one person looking at it across the UK, if that's possible. And earlier, in previous discussions, we mentioned possibly using freight from Holyhead, so I just want…

Thank you. Following on from what Sam Kurtz mentioned regarding hauliers, to make it more attractive to come over, the Department for Transport were looking at the mapping of truck stops in England. Is that something we're looking to do in Wales?

And, could I just ask Professor Potter—? So, Holyhead—I'm north Wales—has been designated as a free port, and part of that is possibly looking at freight on the railway. So, do you think that is a possibility, going forward? I remember we went to Ireland on a…
