Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 5
Thanks very much. Simon was talking about the management of change, and given that the second objective of this Bill is to mitigate and adapt to climate change, I was interested to read that the 'State of Climate Action' report for this year, which was…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 5
I just wanted to pick up on the points that Simon was making about resilience, because some of the witnesses we've got coming in later on this morning, in their written evidence, have talked about the need to not just maintain and enhance the resilience of…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke
I think you’re trying to compare apples and pears there. It’s about the speed with which you need to get an ambulance to somebody who is choking, compared with the speed with which you need to get to somebody who is having a stroke. I don’t think we are in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke
It might well be possible, in a cottage hospital, to deliver the sort of rehabilitation services that you may have in mind, but it isn't going to be possible to deliver clinical excellence unless you've got the critical mass of patients to justify it. It is…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke
I think this is an important debate, because, as has already been acknowledged, it is the fourth biggest killer, so it's clearly something we need to get right. But I would caution James Evans on the idea that we could have a district general hospital in…

Debate on the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s Report—'Everybody’s affected: Peer on peer sexual harassment among learners'
I think this is a really important report and I think it's really timely as well. But I think, as Laura Anne Jones said, the level of sexual harassment is so widespread that it really requires a response across society. But it really does underpin the…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal—Take-up of Benefits Bill
—on this. Lastly, I think, if Gordon Brown's proposals for constitutional reform include devolution of the administration of benefits to Wales, and they're accepted by a future Government, would we therefore need this legislation? And, in the meantime, how…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal—Take-up of Benefits Bill
Interesting contribution from Sioned Williams, and I share your passion for ensuring that everybody gets what they're entitled to, but that, of course, is a main plank of the Welsh Government's proposals to try and help people through these very difficult…

Motion under Standing Order 26.91 seeking the Senedd's agreement to introduce a Member Bill—Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill
Thank you very much for taking the intervention, because as the former leader of Monmouthshire council, you'll be aware that the PDG is one of the ways in which funding is supposed to be directed at giving opportunities to young people whose families can't…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Public Sector Role in the Future Energy System
I very much welcome the initiative to set up a new state-owned company. We need to learn from the experience of Norway, which, when they discovered oil there, they set up what is now the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. And what were we left with?…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Development Bank of Wales—Investing with ambition
Last week, Mervyn King, the former governor of the Bank of England, gave various interviews, including on the fact that we still haven't cracked the ongoing moral hazard of organisations that are too big to fail, which is why the Bank of England had to…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
Very good. I wonder if Members could agree that, under Standing Order 17.42, we now move into private session for the remainder of the meeting. I see no objections.

Okay. Well, perhaps we can write to you if it doesn't immediately spring to mind. Thank you very much indeed for the evidence you've provided. It's really useful for our prison visits in a couple of weeks' time, when we'll be going to the two main prisons…

So, the problem is, then, that it's 15 years since the Corston report, and politicians, both Labour and Conservative, have simply been too timid. Would you agree? They just haven't wanted to bother to deal with this.
