Thank you, Chair. It was quite welcoming when you said that you're glad we've reached this point today and that you're in agreement with some of the amendments going forward, and then, obviously, clearly, you're going to resist a few of those. But, as far as…

Diolch, Chair. I would just like to start off by saying how happy I am that this Bill has finally been brought forward. We have waited over five years since the First Minister committed to bringing the Bill forward, which I think anyone would agree is too…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Ending homelessness in Wales
I will. Minister, it is time that you started working with us and working with—. Well, you're already working with Plaid Cymru. Homelessness in Wales is a by-product of this Welsh Labour Government, and, frankly, it's disgraceful.

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Ending homelessness in Wales
Despite our repeated warnings that the Act is causing landlords to leave the sector, you have not listened. You're not listening to Dr Bruce, chief executive of Wales's leading homelessness charity. Your response to her that you have no actual empirical…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Ending homelessness in Wales
Thank you, Minister, for bringing this forward, but, I'm sorry, on this one, I cannot pull any punches, because, frankly, to launch this paper on homeless day in itself is rather baffling, when only recently you were on tv—I think it was last week—where you…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. Now, today, of course, is World Mental Health Day, and it certainly reminds me of the increase in people that come now, reaching out for mental health support in Aberconwy. Lack of access to mental health services often leads those suffering to…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report, 'Natural Resources Wales—Annual Scrutiny 2022-23'
The 'Natural Resources Wales—Annual Scrutiny 2022-23' report is very important, and it has also highlighted for us the key areas where we believe that NRW is lacking. The work of NRW is vitally important, and in our fight against climate change, we are hoping…

Debate on the Local Government and Housing Committee Report, 'The Right to Adequate Housing'
Okay. We need a Parliament that lifts the brakes on building, a Parliament that stops the attacks on private landlords and a Parliament that delivers homes for the people of Wales. Diolch.

Debate on the Local Government and Housing Committee Report, 'The Right to Adequate Housing'
I refer to my own declarations of interest in terms of property ownership. I would like to thank the Local Government and Housing Committee, under the chairmanship of John Griffiths, and all the members, for their work on what is an extremely important area…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Now, you'll recall, Minister, that we were both elected in 2011, and, since then, I've been really keen to raise in this Chamber public procurement and how we can actually use more Welsh produce as part of that procurement plan. Now, for 12 years, we've heard…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I’m sorry, but I think you’re being disingenuous with me, and indeed with our electors. According to your own 'National Transport Delivery Plan 2022 to 2027', you stated 'We will also motivate people away from private car use', and that you…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Transport sector developers
Thank you very much. Last week, the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales and RTPI Cymru told us that developers were willing to pay higher fees if it guaranteed they were going to receive a certain standard of service. Do you support this view, and…
