Legislative Consent Motion on the Subsidy Control Bill
I don't believe that it has ignored the representations that have been made.

Legislative Consent Motion on the Subsidy Control Bill
I want to speak in support of the LCM before us today. Notwithstanding that support, I do think it's extremely disrespectful for letters to be going from committees of this Senedd and that correspondence not to be receiving a response. That is unacceptable…

Business Statement and Announcement
Thank you, Trefnydd, for your statement. Can I call for two statements from the Minister for Health and Social Services, please, in the coming weeks? I'm bitterly disappointed that the Minister made an announcement to extend what we all hoped would be only…

Debate on petition P-05-949 Save Cowbridge Old Girls' School from Demolition
I'm very grateful to you for taking the intervention. Doesn't the fact that many of these buildings are being listed on Coflein, the national database of historic monuments, tell us that there is a special place for these buildings in our nation and there…

Debate on petition P-05-949 Save Cowbridge Old Girls' School from Demolition
It isn't fit for purpose, and I know that the Minister will probably refer to the fact that local listing can take place via local authorities, but many local authorities simply don't have the time, energy or capacity, unfortunately, to develop their local…

Debate on petition P-05-949 Save Cowbridge Old Girls' School from Demolition
I rise to speak in this debate not because I have a particular interest in the important building in Cowbridge that has been referred to, but because I wanted to make some more general points about the significant impact that not listing important buildings…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
I completely agree with the aspirations that you've just espoused, Minister, but I'm very, very concerned to see your statement today in relation to the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board being given just three months before it could possibly be put back…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
I know you want to pass the buck to local authorities in respect of this tax, but the reality is that it's your Welsh Labour Government that is setting the road ahead and actually facilitating the introduction of a tax that could decimate the economy of north…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: Real Living Wage for Social Care Workers
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your statement. I do welcome this as a big step in the right direction. You'll be aware that the Welsh Conservatives made a commitment in our manifesto for the Senedd elections of a pay rate of £10 an hour, which is just 10p…

Thank you, Trefnydd, for your statement. Can I call for two statements this week? The first is from the Minister for Health and Social Services regarding the social care financial recognition scheme, obviously something that we very much welcome indeed for…

Trefnydd, over the weekend there were pubs across the whole of Wales that were packed with people watching the rugby. Not an enjoyable experience, I know, for many of us this weekend, but that's what many people were doing. Unfortunately, the following day…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: 70th Anniversary of the accession
It is of note, however, that the Welsh Government chose not to table either a statement or a debate on this important milestone in Her Majesty's reign. They did at the sixtieth, for the Diamond Jubilee. The then First Minister, Carwyn Jones, tabled a…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Adverse childhood experiences
Thank you. I'm very grateful for your taking the intervention. It's just about the adverse childhood experiences hub, which I'm very pleased exists in Wales, and it's good that we know it's getting on with some work in terms of sharing good practice. But it's…

Why is it seven years, seven years to resolve?

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Six years, sluggish progress and we need to get it back on track, if you'll excuse the pun. One of the other things that has been failing for a long time in north Wales now, of course, is mental health services. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board was put…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Minister, many people in north Wales welcomed news that a metro was going to be built. Of course, it was in your 2016 manifesto, it's now 2022, and there's still not a lot of progress been made in north Wales. Seven hundred and fifty million pounds has been…

Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Exploring reform of the school day and year
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, thank you very much for your statement. I do welcome the fact that you're looking at the school year and the school day, and I think, obviously, with any system that's lasted for 150-odd years, there's sometimes a very good…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I, too, want to see more investment from both the UK and Welsh Governments in north Wales in the rail infrastructure. One of the things I would very much like to see in my own constituency is a new railway stop train station in the Towyn and…
