Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report: 'Report on storm overflows in Wales'
A little one. It's really great working with you on these sorts of issues on the committee, alongside you. Would you agree with me that the latest fad now is plastic lawns? Of course, there's no absorption with plastic lawns. And now that we are actually…

Certainly, going through a pregnancy and having a baby is a life-changing event. Postnatal depression, however, and other perinatal mental health problems, such as women experiencing eating problems during and after pregnancy, including possible other causes…

A clear commitment is made in 'Stronger, fairer, greener Wales: a plan for employability and skills' to support and encourage employers to create high-quality employment whilst improving the offer to workers. One method through which you plan to do this is by…

Can I just say on that: it is problematic because, as soon as a place has them, they just go within a day or two. So, a lot of people have felt let down on that.

Just going back to the tree planting, it's a fact, isn't it, that the reason that we're having to plant 43,000 hectares of new trees by 2030 is because tree planting in Wales has been poor for decades, with only 450 hectares of new trees planted per year. So…

Okay. Well, we'll agree to disagree on that one.

No, it's all right. The war in Ukraine has inevitably caused huge food security issues, leading nations to develop and evolve domestic production more carefully and in line with the need of public consumption. While it is vital that we do see a Wales-led…

Thank you. The bus sector in Wales has said that the metro projects in Wales are too rail-focused. What steps are you taking to address this—

A final part: in terms of retrofitting, there are no Welsh Government targets for the private sector, private rented or owner-occupied sector at present. Now, they are a vast—I would say the largest—commodity, when it comes to the ownership of homes and…

Thank you. At this point, just a question too. I'll declare an interest, because I'm going to be talking about the private sector. So, one of the recommendations—and it's probably what Lee has just mentioned about the advice—from the 'Better Homes, Better…

On to No. 2, yes, thank you, Chair. The Welsh Government published its marine energy plan in 2016, but we know now, don't we, especially following Ukraine, that things have changed in terms of the pressure to really get on with us finding our own renewable…

Thank you. Just to follow on from that, I know when I've spoken to those in the marine conservation field, and then also with renewable energy developers, both sides say to me, if this spatial plan was in place, it might actually help stop some of the delays…

Diolch. Good morning, Minister and Deputy Minister and officials. Marine planning stakeholders have informed the Welsh Government that the Welsh national marine plan—we all know it as WNMP—is not currently fit for purpose, but have explained it would be an…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Gwent Levels / Nature Recovery Exemplar Areas
Thank you, Deputy Llywydd, and thank you, Minister, for the statement. I think there's one thing we can agree on and that is the need to protect 30 per cent of our land and sea by 2030. Now, however, as you know, I've been asking, since October, what is the…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Update on Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
I will get to it. But it's a fact, and it's been raised by Plaid Cymru, the current model simply doesn't work. I asked you two weeks ago, Minister, whether we could have a meeting of north Wales Members, yourself, the chairman and the chief executive, and…

Thank you. Whilst I thank you for the statement, Minister, I would like to thank my colleagues Darren Millar and Rhun ap Iorwerth more for actually calling you out on this statement, because it's far too inadequate. I've been here 11 years, and, prior to…
