Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, as you will know, when people renew or apply for a new licence, it is now a legal requirement for them to attain a mental health record from their general practitioner to submit their application; for the record, I'm a licence holder. In…

Perfect. Mihnea, anything you might want to add?

The EU settlement scheme and citizens' rights after Brexit: evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. And it's just probably one final question from me, really: as you mentioned, Fiona, you saw the last evidence session, where I asked about what the committee could do and what role the Welsh Parliament could play, and I was just wondering…

The EU settlement scheme and citizens' rights after Brexit: evidence session 2
Thanks, Chair. With regard to this—I don't know if this is a little bit off topic—but you mentioned there about looking for an offline hard copy, and issues with employers then not necessarily understanding, but not satisfied with the digital thing. Have you…

The EU settlement scheme and citizens' rights after Brexit: evidence session 2
Just one last question.

The EU settlement scheme and citizens' rights after Brexit: evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. And thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. I just want to ask you a quick question. You touched upon it briefly about the digital status and, obviously, those are issues that have been brought up with this committee in the past…

Okay. Kezia, do you want to come in?

The EU settlement scheme and citizens' rights after Brexit: evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair, and thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. I just wanted to know a bit more, then—I've got a couple of questions, if we've got time—about what role you see the Senedd or even this committee playing in all of this, if that makes…

Short Debate: Protecting communities from the impact of quarrying for minerals: Why Craig yr Hesg Quarry must close
Can I start by thanking Heledd for raising such an important short debate and for giving me a minute of her time? Like Heledd, I have spent quite a lot of time speaking with residents and raising this issue with the council and the Cabinet Secretary, and I…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. So, finally, in regard again to the Horizon IT scandal, the Trades Union Congress has recently claimed that the Communication Workers Union has been blocked from effectively organising at the post office, and they've also alleged…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you for that response, Cabinet Secretary. I must admit, Llywydd, it's always quite frustrating to come here, when we have matters like the Royal Mail and Post Office, lead responsibility offices, to then have the response, 'It's non-devolved'. I don't…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, as you will be aware, International Distribution Services, who owns Royal Mail, has accepted an offer from Daniel Kretinsky's EP Group, to purchase the business. This has led business groups who represent thousands of…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Cabinet Secretary, Transport for Wales has recently released data showing that there has been a 28 per cent increase in anti-social behaviour at stations across the core Valleys lines so far this year. Almost 75 per cent of this anti-social behaviour is found…

Statement by the Minister for Social Partnership: The retail sector—Contributing to Wales's economic mission
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. As you have quite rightly said, the retail sector in Wales is vital to providing so many jobs across the country, and of course providing vital skills that are transferable to other industries. Although you haven't…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: A sustainable Welsh marine environment
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your statement today. I'm delighted that you have mentioned Project Seagrass because, as many Members might know, I'm the Senedd seagrass champion, and I'm very keen to make sure that the Welsh Government doesn't forget its…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd. With this in mind, Minister, what have you made of this impact on Wales and the Welsh economy? Thank you.

Questions to the First Minister
As you will know, First Minister, every UK Government has been defeated due to its economic record, which has left us with higher taxes, higher national debt and higher unemployment. As we have seen recently, a Keir Starmer Government—sorry, Llywydd, a Sir…

Sorry to interrupt, Chair. Is it possible to get another one of these? I think the battery is running out.

Annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Obviously, with Audit Wales and the auditor general, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they can't really make comment on the policy directions that you do. Is that something that you think would be beneficial in terms of helping to forge stronger…
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Perfect. You mentioned there also Audit Wales. I know that, in the past, you've mentioned that you would be working closely with them in terms of creating effective monitoring, going forward. I was just wondering if you could give us an idea of what the…

Annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Thank you for that. Thank you, Chair. I'll go back to the original question. I'm keen to know a bit more about your relationship with the auditor general, about how closely you work together, and just to get a bit of an idea about that, if possible.

Annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
