Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
Andrew R.T. Davies has made the same speech twice now, and it doesn't get better with repetition. I do need to respond to Sam Kurtz's point. The Development Bank of Wales said the loan—he was in the same committee I was, so he should have remembered it—the…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
What I find difficult about some of this is the hypocrisy. Your party took £10 million from someone who said they were going to shoot black people. They wanted to shoot black women. How do you feel about that?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
The issues that were addressed by the First Minister, most of it was already out there. I think this idea—[Interruption.] Give me a chance. This idea that the more you dig, the more you find; actually, the more you dig, the less you find. But the issues that…

Are you making a speech or an intervention?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
I think I would be described as a reasonable person, I would hope, and I have to say that I disagree with everything that Andrew R.T. Davies has said. I’m not going to try and put any heat into at least this contribution. I will give some examples in the next…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I met last year with representatives of the Stolen Lives campaign, and I know Sioned Williams was at the protest last week on the steps. I joined her as well to talk to young adults who have been detained in care for far too long. They've launched a petition…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Last month, Wayne David MP and I held a bus surgery at Bedwas Workmen's Hall. It was one of the best attended surgeries that I've held. People were raising the concerns that Delyth Jewell has just mentioned and Buffy mentioned yesterday. A common cause for…

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 5 - Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
And what will you be doing?
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 5 - Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
Okay. So, one of the concerns I'd have is that the evidence that the development bank gave us earlier is that they weren't able to articulate any of that. So, do you think that there needs to be some communication with the development bank so they can…

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 5 - Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
Okay. And how many independent reviews have there been of the development bank?

Okay. Can you give us a timescale?

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 5 - Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
So, just to understand that, in 2001 there were plans to go ahead with a tailored review, and in 2003 there was an announcement that tailored reviews would be temporarily paused. You're now telling us that pause is likely to end and there will be a tailored…

Why was there a change of heart from the Welsh Government on a tailored review of the development bank?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Why was there a change of heart on a tailored review?

Yes, sure. And I think you've clearly made that—

Development Bank of Wales inquiry: Panel 4 - Development Bank of Wales
The reason we're raising this as an issue is that the evidence we got from Scotland was that they do take that kind of more structured approach, and we're just wondering why would that be absent in Wales and present in Scotland.
