Short Debate: Breaking the class ceiling—Building an egalitarian Wales
I owe Glyn-Gaer Primary School and Heolddu Comprehensive School, Bargoed for every chance I've had, and the fact that I can stand up here and do this today is because of that education I had in those communities. And I was terrified before that, before I had…

Debate on Petition P-06-1345, 'Make conservation management plans compulsory for scheduled monuments at risk such as Ruperra Castle'
Well, as we just heard from Rhys ab Owen, Ruperra castle is the second most famous castle in my constituency, but from Rhys's history lesson we can hear that, actually, it has a significant historical impact and has a great historical importance for a variety…

Questions to the First Minister
I think, on a day when we've got some difficult news, this is a chance to recognise that there are some very good things going on in Caerphilly in partnership between Caerphilly County Borough Council and the Welsh Government. The success that the First…

I thank her for the action she's taken, and stand in solidarity with Emma, with Shirley Patrick's family, and those Members in the Senedd today who have brought this issue forward.

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A Bill to promote responsible dog ownership
I think the most important thing that we can learn from Caerphilly, from my constituency, from my community, is that these actions can take place and these actions can happen to improve the lives of those people affected by these dog attacks. I was there at…

Minister for Economy: Border Control Posts in Wales; and Future of Welsh Steel
And Wales is going to be the only mainland nation to introduce pre-notification in 2024, because it's already in place in the other nations. So, does that present a challenge?

Minister for Economy: Border Control Posts in Wales; and Future of Welsh Steel
Have you had dialogue about those costs and the extent of the burden in Wales?

Minister for Economy: Border Control Posts in Wales; and Future of Welsh Steel
Okay. The UK Government estimates the costs of the border target operating model to be £330 million annually for businesses spread across EU imports, plus a 0.2 per cent increase in food inflation. How much do you think those costs are going to fall to…

Minister for Economy: Border Control Posts in Wales; and Future of Welsh Steel
Thanks, Chair. It's just bizarre that we voluntarily, as a society, put ourselves in this hugely complicated situation, but there we go. You've confirmed in your written evidence that Holyhead border control posts will administer the new common user charge…

Andrew, we're continually trying to unpick a big, tangled ball of string, and it doesn't look like we're going to be unpicking it completely anytime soon.

Questions to the First Minister
That's very helpful. Thank you, First Minister. I think the Government are doing a very good job at building and supporting degree apprenticeships. On 26 September, I attended the launch of the new rail degree apprenticeship, at Coleg y Cymoedd, Nantgarw…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
I appreciate that, Minister. The UK Government has, indeed, rather belatedly recognised the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 needs to be updated following recent attacks involving XL bullies. And, as I've said before in this Chamber, two fatal attacks involved people…

I don't quite understand why setting up an independent body would be a political act.

So you think a shadow broadcasting authority would dilute clarity.
