Business Statement and Announcement
I would like to request two statements, with one being an urgent statement from the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care on the immediate eradication of ending corridor care. We know that, in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, it is absolutely disgusting what is going on…

Questions to the First Minister
I'll certainly be watching to make sure that we see those improvements to our high streets, because that question that you raised, Mair, has been very well rehearsed here over the past number of years. Now, talking about Bangor High Street, in 2023 there were…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy Priorities
Congratulations, Adam, on your new role. I have to say that I'd like to stop, right from the start of this new Government, where we talk Wales down—and I don't mean you; one of the spokespersons here today, actually, was just about talking Wales down. Now, I…

Twenty-seven years.

Questions to the First Minister
Yes, okay. When it comes to ALN, they are the unheard children of Wales. Will you now, as the First Minister, commit to delivering a purpose-driven curriculum that raises standards, ensuring that every young person develops the essential life skills they need…

Questions to the First Minister
The reality is, of course, the former Welsh Labour Government, propped up by Plaid Cymru, have let down our pupils, our teachers and school staff across Wales, and that's been for 27 years. For too long, standards have fallen whilst excuses have risen. Our…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Yes, I think you know what I mean. Diolch. [Laughter.]

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Yes. Okay, I will. There is an election for the Senedd in 2026, in less than 18 months' time. The only real catalyst for change will be—for anybody watching this, and the voters out there—to vote Welsh Conservative, and let's see Andrew Davies—[Interruption.]…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Well, let's not beat about the bush here—I never do. There's some irony I've heard from other Member benches today and, it has to be said, some hypocrisy. Welsh Labour, supported by Plaid Cymru over the past 25 years, have led to some shockingly high waiting…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report, 'Restoration of opencast mining sites'
Yes. I thank the committee team once again—the clerk and everybody who set up the visit for us—because it really showed me a different perspective on some of the evidence that we'd taken during our committee findings. Thank you.

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report, 'Restoration of opencast mining sites'
As has already been mentioned, our committee were very lucky last week to visit the Ffos-y-fran opencast mine above Merthyr Tydfil. This was an extremely informative and enjoyable visit, actually, where we were taken through the incredible work that is…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
I'm aware of conveyancing methods whereby, sometimes, they don't always inform, when you're buying land, of your obligations regarding culverts, ditches and whatever, but also too with reservoirs. Now, between 2019 and 2021, £0.5 million of taxpayers' money…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Now, the written statement outlined the ambition to create a modern approach to hazard management and updating regulation and enforcement. There are concerns, though, for funding. NRW alone has 20 high-risk reservoirs, and they've already spent £2.68 million…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Diolch, Llywydd. The risk and cost of increased rainfall due to climate change are rising without doubt, with extreme weather events becoming more frequent. Last winter, Natural Resources Wales issued 483 flood alerts—a 16 per cent increase on the previous…

Debate: Remembrance
Today, as we did on Sunday, as we did yesterday, the eleventh of the eleventh at 11 a.m., we all come together to show our respect and to honour the sacrifices of countless brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. One point two million…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government: Building safety
Do you know, Cabinet Secretary, I've been working on this now for about four years, prior to my colleague Mark Isherwood? And it has to be said that I am still now being contacted regularly by people who say they feel they're in a desperate situation, they…

I'm glad that Dawn Bowden finds this funny.

Questions to the First Minister
It's fair to say I agree with Llyr Gruffydd. In Aberconwy, I'm repeatedly now being told that children are having to wait a considerably long time. I raised this issue a year ago and Lynne Neagle, at the time, mentioned that it was not correct, that people…

Short Debate: The future of local healthcare in rural Wales
I thank James Evans for bringing this important debate here, and also for allowing me a minute. A new problem that’s started affecting Aberconwy constituents, and indeed Betsi Cadwaladr patients, is the Welsh ambulance service cancelling appointments for…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Right, okay. We are now left with the challenging task of mitigating the impacts of this budget. Yesterday, you were really pleased that you're putting all this money into the public sector and that it would grow the economy. The only way you grow the economy…
, Plenary
Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Yes. And no commitment to improve the north Wales main line. Ironically too, the only place they do seem to be teaming up is to double down on the attack on our farmers: a callous commitment to extract funds from hard-working farming families, many of whom…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Last week’s first attempt at a budget by the UK Labour Government was a sad realisation that we are in for a painful five years, or one term, shall we say. This must surely be described as a budget of broken promises, with a plethora of measures that…
