Prevention of ill health - obesity: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Why are we repeating the same mistakes, then? Because the tobacco industry hammered Governments and told them not to ban it, so it took us 50 years, or something. We knew all about it, and we didn't—. So, why are we making the same mistakes with food?

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
I know you didn't say that, but that is what some people are suggesting in the way they approach this.

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
No, I don't think it should be arbitrary. I think we need to shift from blanket, which was never, I don't think, the policy, to default. I appreciate that in coastal areas it is very difficult to produce any trees because the westerly winds make it really…

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
This is a very important debate. The sustainable farming scheme has to be aligned with our need to adapt, to become more resilient to the climate change that is inevitable. Given the deplorable state of our rivers and seas, why are we continuing to pay…

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
Will you take an intervention? That is absolutely not true; of course farmers take holidays, just the same as everybody else—and so they should. But they pick the time of the year when it's possible to do that. That's absolute nonsense.

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Assisted dying
I first of all want to talk about palliative care, because I had a terrible experience about nine years ago, which I absolutely vividly remember, which was a distressing conversation with a recently widowed constituent. Her husband had been diagnosed with…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Cabinet Secretary, multiple reports have highlighted that carbon capture is an untested and untried science, and we've already heard some concerns about that, following Llyr Gruffydd's question. We really shouldn't be surprised that the fossil fuel industry…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: The Climate Adaptation Strategy
—in climate terms, and also it's clear that the Warm Homes programme is also the cool homes programme. Now, I wondered what discussion you've had with your Cabinet colleagues on massively increasing that £30 million to something more realistic in terms of the…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: The Climate Adaptation Strategy
I'd like to congratulate all of those involved in meeting the peatland restoration target a year before it was supposed to have happened. That's fantastic. I saw some of this work when the economy committee visited mid Wales the other day. Obviously, I just…
