Heledd also reminded us that exactly the same communities that suffered so much with the coal industry are now facing the greatest effects of the climate crisis.

Plaid Cymru Debate: High-risk tips
Janet, as anticipated, really, falsely linked the ideas about the devolution of present powers and tools for the future with trying to deny responsibility for the wrongs of the past. I don't think it's a waste of Senedd time to try to put this right and, in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: High-risk tips
Thank you, Llywydd. May I start by thanking everyone who's contributed to this debate? It's been very timely and very powerful, I think.

Plaid Cymru Debate: High-risk tips
Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. What was the cost of coal to the Valleys? What price was demanded of our people to pay for the wealth others had taken? Do we measure that cost in bodies buried? Should it be calculated in lost livelihoods, lost limbs, in lungs thick…

Topical Questions
Minister, since the Grange opened, it's been plagued with overcrowding and long waits, and, as we've been hearing, this isn't fair to patients or staff. The fact that there were 14-hour waits in A&E last night is indicative of a serious problem. I know, last…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you for that, Minister. Obviously, I hope that coastal flood defences will form part of that work, but I look forward to finding out more as time progresses on it. Turning, secondly and finally, to the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, around Wales we have many important ecological sites in very low-lying coastal areas. Sites such as RSPB Newport in the Gwent levels, RSPB Conwy, WTT Llanelli wetlands centre and RSPB Ynyshir near Machynlleth are all vitally…

Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd, and thank you for your statement, Minister. You'll appreciate that coal tips' safety is an issue that is of great interest to me because of the area that I represent, as it is to my party too. I welcome the Law Commission's report…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Prif Weinidog. The Wales Governance Centre has found that the average Welsh household will still be £315 a year worse off, households with the lowest income will be affected disproportionately since they'll benefit less from the fuel duty cut and the…

Short Debate: Supporting communities at continuous risk of flooding: Is it time to establish a flood forum for Wales?
And thank you very much to Heledd once again for this debate. I found some of the points and some the things that she quoted heartbreaking but so, so important for us to be learning about.

Short Debate: Supporting communities at continuous risk of flooding: Is it time to establish a flood forum for Wales?
I wanted to add to the points about the physiological scarring brought about by flooding. In February 2020, I visited streets in Ystrad Mynach that had been hit by flooding. Whole homes were swamped with water and cars written off. But the thing that stayed…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Religious buildings
I remember a priest writing a little snippet in a parish newsletter, and it said, 'The church is not a museum for saints, but a hospital for sinners.' That's always stuck with me—that these religious buildings we have in Wales were constructed not just to the…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Religious buildings
I wasn't going to speak in this debate originally, but Mike got in touch and inspired me to think about how important religious buildings have been to my family, so I did want to say a word or two.

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. Diolch. Forgive me, Minister, it's because it's on a very similar—well, the same topic. You'll be familiar with the case of my constituent, Maria Wallpott. Earlier this year, she won her case in the High Court to be allowed…
