Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Okay. Now, local planning authorities say that, based on their experience of the current DNS process, they don’t believe they’ll be able to recover the full cost of their involvement in the new process. For example, this includes specialist input into local…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you. Good morning. On resourcing, we've heard from numerous witnesses that the new system set out in the Bill will only function effectively if all parties involved in the process are properly resourced, both in terms of funding and having the right…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
Do you not agree with me that it's unsustainable to have the amount of temporary accommodation spend in our local authorities, dragging them to their knees with the increase in temporary accommodation spend? It's unsustainable. You wouldn't run a business…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
Rhianon, this isn't about money now. This is about there are no homes. There are no houses. There is no accommodation for people other than temporary accommodation for those who, where we are now today, are sat homeless. And the fact remains that if 14,000…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
Diolch, Llywydd—Dirprwy Lywydd. I refer Members to my declaration of interest form in terms of property ownership. It is regrettable that we have to bring forward a motion today to highlight to all Senedd Members the absolute homelessness crisis facing us…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Last week, California was awarded up to £1.2 billion from the United States Department of Energy to build and expand projects focused on clean energy, with the ultimate goal of achieving a net-zero-carbon economy by 2045. The seven US hydrogen hubs deliver £7…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, let's have some reality here. Three decades of Welsh Labour, and what we have is house building targets consistently missed. We are now facing a definite housing crisis. We need 12,000 homes a year, yet this year you've only built 5,785. Despite your…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Mental health
Yes, absolutely, and it's really incumbent that we do have that support. Every single person helping our farmers and their families, during some pretty tough times of late, needs to be commended. Thanks, James. There are over 600 Samaritans volunteers across…

Following on from World Mental Health Day, when I did raise a question only yesterday on my concerns about my constituents being able to access mental health services, I wish to start with a trio of positives. I welcome the establishment of the 24/7 NHS Wales…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you, again, and on that one, I was actually a little bit surprised to see this, because I've never gone into my office when the lights are on or the air conditioning is on, if there's nobody in the office. We do have mechanisms in place that would cut…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you. I know this is something very close to your heart, because you do raise these questions, and they're really good questions to ask. I'd like to start by thanking Matthew Jones and the team in our sustainability department. As we were pleased to…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Yes, okay. Thanks. Residents want elected Members to be accountable. So, can you clarify, Counsel General, whether you now wish to job share, or if you agree with me that Members should adopt the principle that they only take on ministerial responsibilities…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you. The Senedd will be aware that Ken Skates, who I have much respect for, actually recently disclosed that he would still be in the Cabinet if job sharing was allowed, and I sometimes think that the Cabinet is worse off for not having him. Anyway…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you. I have to say quite candidly that I disagree that either an elected Member role or a ministerial role can be shared. I also find it rather insulting that you intend to take forward electoral arrangements that would see positive discrimination for…

Group 12: Soundscapes (Amendments 53, 54, 55, 56, 10, 58)
Thank you again, Chair. Now, amendment 53 does insert a definition of 'soundscapes' onto the face of the Bill. Minister, the Bill has 'soundscapes' in the name, but there is no definition on the Bill. You yourself have even acknowledged that there is no legal…
