Debate: The Final Budget 2023-24
The most damaging impact has been Conservatives in the UK Government not standing up for Wales, and I believe in Wales and I believe in the future of Wales, and I do not accept that. We have seen evidence from different researchers showing that that is not…

Debate: The Final Budget 2023-24
I have to say, I don't want to stand up and absolve Welsh Government of responsibility here, but I do find it quite galling to hear the Conservatives talk about, 'What about the children of Wales?' when, actually, it's Tory austerity enforcing policies on…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister, unfortunately, however, as we all know, levels of child poverty in Wales are getting worse, and it's clear from visits throughout my region, together with my casework, that the situation is critical for many families. Teachers tell…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh language
Thank you very much, Minister. And as you've named me, I thought I'd just want to say that I don't disregard the rest of the data, but, obviously, the 2011 census was the basis of the 'Cymraeg 2050' strategy. I'm just concerned that the other samples are…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh language
Could I thank the Conservatives for bringing this debate forward today? I thank Tom for sharing his journey with the language. It was delightful to hear you and the fact that your confidence has increased during the period you've been here. I'm looking…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Industrial relations
We cannot ignore what the UK Government is trying to achieve through this. Our communities have suffered enough. We've heard clearly from Delyth, Luke, Peredur and others. We know that, having spoken to workers on the ground. We know that people aren't happy…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Industrial relations
We've already heard about the correlation between high levels of union density and positive outcomes in terms of high wages and productivity, and this is corroborated by numerous international examples—Mabon and Delyth have already beaten me to it on this…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Industrial relations
I make my contribution today also in my role with the PCS cross-party group. Thank you very much, Delyth, particularly for your contribution. I think we must all bear in mind that we've all benefited from what's been achieved by those that have battled before…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Minister. Evidently, you've already referred in your response to Peredur Owen Griffiths to this issue, and you've outlined in your answer to me a number of things that are being done. But the truth is, of course, that this does not go far enough…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Wales: A community of communities
can be delivered meaningfully without a radical change in the way the Welsh language is taught in all schools in Wales. In addition to this, the Government needs to recognise that the foundations for expanding equal access for people of all backgrounds to the…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Wales: A community of communities
Thank you, Minister, and happy St David’s Day to everyone, for tomorrow, too. Unfortunately, it’s not a national bank holiday, as it should be, but we still very much hope for that. Sam Kurtz obviously agrees, so please persuade your Government in the UK to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Invasion of Ukraine and supporting Ukrainian refugees
Plaid Cymru stands in complete solidarity with the people of Ukraine for showing remarkable resilience in the face of Russia’s continued brutal attacks. And it disheartens me, a year on since Putin’s illegal and barbaric invasion—as Sioned Williams said…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Education Maintenance Allowance
This isn't an issue on which I get countless constituents contacting me, but, for those that do, I know the difference it makes, the difference it makes to their families and to those individuals. In terms of other measures, of course it's not just a…

Topical Questions
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Can I just reference the co-operation agreement, as it has been mentioned a number of times? Public transport is in the agreement, including encouraging people to switch to public transport. And I think we all need to take…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you, Minister. Certainly, we are all aware, as you just listed, of the major benefits of community green spaces, in terms of health and well-being, biodiversity, air quality, and so on. Despite this, a number of green spaces are being lost, including in…

Quarterly, in terms of those. So, I guess it's just a matter then for us, perhaps outside of this meeting, to look at those measures as well, because, as you say, if they're very broad objectives, I think that clarity then is something that perhaps we need to…
