Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Diolch, Llywydd. I'd just like to declare an interest in terms of my accommodation paid for by the Senedd Commission being one of the properties that has the fire cladding issue. Now, it is nearly a year since major developers in Wales signed up to the…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Special measures at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board—One year on
I just want to put on record that I stand by every single word that my colleague Darren Millar has said today. As north Wales Members, and for me as the Member for Aberconwy, not only do we read the very negative reports that have come from some shocking…

Business Statement and Announcement
Okay. I'd like to just raise a concern about the way that Arriva Bus Wales have completely cut off a village in my constituency, the ward being Penrhyn-side. They did it without warning, leaving about 450 or 500 people completely, now, feeling that they're in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing supply
Well, let's be honest, the houses are still there. And it was, in fact, in Wales where you were selling off the houses and not reinvesting. For every one house sold, you can build three. Speak to any developer. [Interruption.] The Welsh Conservative policy…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing supply
Thank you—diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns and to own property is increasingly harder for people to achieve in Wales. This is no surprise when considering that only 5,785 new dwellings were completed in 2022-23…

Debate: The Draft Budget 2024-25
Okay. How can we get the blame when it's you taking all the decisions, making all the policy, and voting them through every single time together, as part of your co-operation agreement? Yes, it is called a 'co-operation agreement'. I was going to say…

Debate: The Draft Budget 2024-25
We've not had the levers, we certainly haven't had the budget, and we've not been in Government. So, the last 25 to 30 years are a sad indictment of everybody here except us. Numerous projects and programmes essential for conservation—[Inte…

Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Vocational qualifications
Thank you for your statement, Minister. Of course, vocational qualifications are extremely important to the future of our children, yet after years of waiting for this, why was this announcement only revealed under cloak and dagger last week? All three other…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. Homelessness is a key measure, of course, of a society's prosperity, so let's have a look at the figures during your tenure, First Minister, of five years. Last year, 5,481 households, over 10,000 individuals and 3,000 children were placed in…

Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 9
Yes, that's fine. Thank you. And of course, an offer of residential outdoor education and who has taken up that offer would need to be tracked to ensure that that offer is made to all—now, this is what I don't like—entitled pupils. I've raised my concerns…

Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 9
Thank you. I'm fully supportive of this Bill. Sadly, in my constituency, I've seen an outreach facility gone. So many local children were never using it, it was people from away. Sam, when you refer to 'all'—. It's my first time on this committee on this…
