Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Community benefits of energy projects

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Community benefits of energy projects
Thank you, Rhun, for bringing this debate forward, and whilst you do have some concerns about solar, it’s fair to say, along the north Wales coast, those concerns now extend to the huge windfarm projects that are coming our way. Dirprwy Lywydd, we know that…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Nature, biodiversity and local places for nature
I do thank you, Minister, for this timely statement and the Noah's ark of activities that you announced earlier. I think it would be interesting for us all to know more about the 29 projects, but I do welcome the fact that nearly 70 species and 50 types of…

The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 17) Regulations 2021
But where have you got any evidence that you need one extra person on the door? This is all very vague. At the end of the day, we all know that it is not safe to keep people queuing in very close proximity, so there will be capital investment needed. There…

Scrutiny of the Chair Designate of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales (NICW)
Right, yes. Here we go. In 2019, the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee criticised an apparent lack of urgency to publish terms of reference or a register of commissioners' interests. Whilst these have now been published, it does set off alarm bells…
