Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Building Safety
Oh, hello. Right. The point being this is a really, really important aspect. The numbers of people that I've met who now have a property they can't sell, they can't rent out, and they're told it's dangerous for them to live there. So, for me, I was rather…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Building Safety
Thank you, Minister. I realise you're very busy at the moment with this particular portfolio, and I think it's fair to say that there's been a lot of anticipation for a statement coming forward, primarily, of course, for those involved in terms of building…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm disappointed in you, First Minister. I thought you might have been more positive in welcoming the fantastic benefits for Wales arising from the autumn statement: 1.2 million workers in Wales to benefit from £324 in the pocket; 130,000 to benefit from the…

Group 12: National strategy on soundscapes (Amendment 85)
Just some clarification, I think, really, because we were going to be supporting your amendment, but I don't know—is it an amendment, when you said, 'I don't want to press it to go to the vote'? A new report by Apex Acoustics and Sustainable Acoustics and ANV…

Thank you, Minister, but I think we should proceed to the vote.

Group 11: Definition of soundscapes (Amendments 67, 70)
Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 67 inserts a definition of soundscapes on the face of the Bill. The definition has been used by the Welsh Government previously, and is the official definition used by the International Organization for Standardization. Should you…

Group 9: Stationary idling offence: fixed penalty (Amendments 65, 69)
Diolch, Llywydd. So, As the Llywydd has mentioned, amendments 65 and 69 reverse the changes made by the Bill to fixed-penalty notices issued in respect of stationary idling offences. I do not doubt that fines for idling can scare people to stop undertaking…

Diolch, Llywydd. I'm always the first to listen and acknowledge if I've said or done anything I shouldn't have done, and I have to say, in looking back on my contribution, 'a war on motorists', at this particular time, are probably not the best words. So, I'd…

Diolch, Llywydd. We were doing so well there. [Laughter.] All of the amendments in my name under this section relate to the same point of principle: I, we as the Welsh Conservative group, do not believe that Welsh Ministers' road-charging powers should be…

Diolch, Llywydd, and diolch to the Minister. As Huw Irranca-Davies has said, I believe that legislation is better for the inclusion of work that we've put together in terms of amendments, and some legislation is made better with a cross-party approach. I'd…
