Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Justice in Wales
The only sustainable way to improve the justice system is to reduce the number of people coming into contact with it. That's what you said, Mick Antoniw, and I completely agree with that, and we need to start with children, because we've still got nearly…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: The Learning Disability Action Plan
I'd first like to draw everybody's attention to the St Teilo's Estyn report, which said that the needs of pupils with additional learning needs are met exceptionally well. Unlike in some schools, pupils who need bespoke support get bespoke support to thrive…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Women's health

Plaid Cymru Debate: Women's health
I'm always pleased to take part in any debate about women's health, but I think that the way the motion has been phrased is a little unfortunate because it isn't either timely nor is it strategic in its approach, so it's going to have limited impact. This is…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: The Housing-with-Care Fund
Thank you very much. I very much welcome your mention of regional residential services for children with complex needs, because this is a really good example of invest-to-save, because, at the moment, as you say, we spend over £200,000 per place, and if…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: scene-setting session
We've got two minutes. I just want to come back to the current proposals by the UK Government to transfer asylum seekers to a part of Africa, to Rwanda. This is obviously a threat—well, that's how it's regarded by large chunks of civil society. Is it also an…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: scene-setting session
I think it was the domestic violence commissioner for England and Wales who mentioned that many of these specialist bodies like BAWSO are not represented on multi-agency risk assessment conferences, which is obviously where these profound discussions take…
