Thank you, Pred. I should say as well that I substituted on the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee during the scrutiny session on the draft budget, when the Minister for rural affairs was in front of the committee. This came under some scrutiny, as it…

Thank you, Joel. Given the Minister's response about no imminent plans, and I think the petition has given a platform for the petitioner too, which quite clearly says they 'categorically DO NOT support' any implementation, I think it would be hard to keep…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local government funding
Deputy Presiding Officer, I note the motion in front of us today calls for reviewing of the local government funding formula—an important point to make. I also note the amendment from the Welsh Government says it will continue to develop and maintain the…

Urgent Debate: Job losses at Tata Steel and the future of the steel industry in Wales
I will go back to Hefin's intervention, and I say to him I find it absurd that the Prime Minister hasn't made a conscious effort—[Interruption.] I'm answering Hefin David first—to speak to the First Minister of Wales. And I will say, collectively, that…
