Group 7: Products made of oxo-degradable and oxo-biodegradable plastic (Amendments 34, 20, 22)
Diolch, Llywydd. Oxo-degradable has not been costed, so it simply comes down now to whether Welsh Ministers think it's acceptable to include a material that's not been costed, one that they admit needs more research. We've offered a compromise by inserting…

Group 7: Products made of oxo-degradable and oxo-biodegradable plastic (Amendments 34, 20, 22)
Thank you. I move amendment 34 in the Minister's name—oh no, that was you then. [Laughter.] Just stealing your thunder then. Right, amendment 34 would remove 'oxo-degradable plastic' from table 1 of the Bill. This would remove the prohibition of supplying…

Group 6: Exemptions-in relation to cotton buds (Amendments 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38)
Diolch, Llywydd. So, I will be speaking on amendments 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37 and 38. Amendments 31, 32 and 33 would add to the Bill exemptions for cotton buds. Amendment 31 would add an exemption for cotton buds supplied to a forensic service provider from…

Now, I tabled amendment 16, as this would insert a new section onto the face of the Bill requiring Welsh Ministers to implement and maintain a list of manufacturers of single-use plastic products in Wales. I tabled this in Stage 2, and, clearly, I've tabled…

Group 3: Guidance (Amendments 15, 17)
Again, obviously, I'm very grateful to the Minister for that with amendment 17, but, in order to ensure the protection of those who do have a protected characteristic, and I do want to ensure that Welsh Ministers liaise with groups to guarantee the…

Group 3: Guidance (Amendments 15, 17)
Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 15 inserts a new subsection to point 3 of section 2 of the Bill. Now, under the section 'Prohibited single-use plastic products', this amendment will ensure Welsh Ministers publish guidance explaining how the existing exemptions…

Group 1: Meaning of single-use plastic products and prohibited single-use plastic products (Amendments 11, 39, 12, 40, 13, 14, 1)
Thank you, Minister. As I've plainly said earlier, stakeholders that we've engaged with have said themselves that definitions need to be consistent with other UK legislation, and therefore I stand very firm on moving those amendments.

Almost there. Will you now commit to covering this extra expense, and will you also explain to this Senedd what steps you as a Government are actually taking to build the homes these people living in temporary accommodation need? Thank you.

The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (Amendment of Schedule 12 and Consequential Amendment) Regulations 2022
On a point of order, I didn’t say I was a private landlord; I declared my interest in respect of the fact of property ownership, and there’s a difference.

The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (Amendment of Schedule 12 and Consequential Amendment) Regulations 2022
Yes. We believe that unless amended or paused, as a matter of urgency, the full implementation of the Act will be responsible for breaking the VAWDASV refuge system in Wales. Minister, please, at some stage, listen to all those people—the families—who are…

The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (Amendment of Schedule 12 and Consequential Amendment) Regulations 2022
So, there you have it: solid proof from Conwy county that your legislation is a key factor in the increase that we're now seeing in the use of temporary accommodation. I've got to be honest, I've said it before, Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru should be ashamed…
