Could we have that evidence, please, sent to us?

Private rented sector: Evidence session 1
I think you over-generalised by saying accommodation in the private sector wasn't as good as rented social. So, where's your evidence to suggest that?

Private rented sector: Evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair. As the shadow Minister for housing, I've done quite some considerable work on all aspects of homelessness and how we actually find homes for people, rather than, at the moment, hotel rooms. Edith, you made a general statement regarding…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Bovine TB
Okay. This Welsh Government's anti-farmer mantra has to stop, and it must stop today. I am voting for change today, so in support of the original motion. I'll be clear: the commitment to look at the current on-farm slaughter policy is a step in the right…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Bovine TB
The Welsh Labour amendment claims that Welsh Government is evidence based. That's how you go about your daily business—you're evidence based. Yet we have long proven that this is not the case with the bTB testing chart. It is scandalous that Welsh Labour…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Bovine TB
Once again, I thank you, Plaid Cymru, for bringing this debate forward. I've heard some pretty heartbreaking stories from farmers within my own constituency. For the second time today, though, we have a pro-farming motion to which the Welsh Government has…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Sustainable Farming Scheme
Thank you. Work with our farmers, not against them, to find a Welsh way forward. And I back those farmers who say you've stirred the dragon, the dragon is now awake. And I tell you now: we will fight every battle with those Welsh farmers until some common…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Sustainable Farming Scheme
Thank you. That is clearly irresponsible, when considering that a study from Bangor University found Welsh sheep and beef farm methods have among the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of comparable systems globally. I would actually like to add: some of your…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Sustainable Farming Scheme
Do you know, walking in this morning and seeing the crowds starting to assemble and the police presence, I thought of one individual, actually, the late Brynle Williams, a late Member here, a farmer himself, who warned us over 20 years ago about food…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Year-round access to out-of-season fresh fruit and vegetables has increased in the last 20 to 30 years, leading to longer and more complex supply chains. Ninety-three per cent of domestic consumption of fresh vegetables is fulfilled by domestic and European…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
We know that local government spending since 2013-14 has gone down by around 7 per cent. Over the past 10 years, we've seen three costly local authority reorganisation plans that were unsustainable and not taken forward. And of course, now we've got the…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: The Welsh Government’s Response to the North Wales Transport Commission
Minister, you know, representing Aberconwy, that I've often raised here with you issues around the A470, and we do have some dangerous bends and difficulties between Glan Conwy, Maenan and Llanrwst. I wrote to you in April, and you wrote back to me stating…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Well, we know even more from yesterday that the beleaguered Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board still faces some huge issues. As my colleague Darren Millar pointed out, a new report, only out yesterday from the quality, safety and experience committee…

We are very fortunate today to live in a society of acceptance and kindness. People of all backgrounds and abilities are now taking part in everyday society. However, whilst this change is positive, there is more we can do. Sadly, there still exists a stigma…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Thank you. As a result of this Welsh Government's very poor settlement to Conwy County Borough Council, they now sit in a £25 million hole and are planning to hike up council tax by as much, possibly, as 11 per cent. It was the highest at 9.9 per cent last…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Minister. Of course, concerns have been raised with me that not a single developer has made use of the £20 million Welsh building safety loan scheme. Does that concern you? And when you think that it's now over six years on from the Grenfell…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you for that comprehensive answer. I noticed, yet again, the emphasis on the social housing, but many people who've gone out and bought properties weren't aware of this fire-cladding issue. Indeed, as I've referenced my own property where I stay here in…
