Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with Alzheimer's Society Cymru
Good morning, both. Thank you, both, for coming in, but particularly Angela, because it can't be easy. You've answered a lot of the questions I was going to ask, but one of the questions that hasn't been asked is that we've had evidence that delays and…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Ukraine
I'm pleased to hear that, as people across Wales will be, because they're desperate to offer sanctuary. They're desperate to help people who are fleeing this atrocity. And who are the people we're talking about? They're women, they're children, they're…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Ukraine
I've only just started, hang on a minute. [Laughter.] For goodness' sake, just a minute. The current policy—again, not my words—according to some of your colleagues in Westminster, dishonours the history, the reputation and the generous instincts of this…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Ukraine
I thank the Welsh Conservatives for tabling this debate, but I equally urge them to join some of the backbench Conservative Members in Westminster in demanding that Westminster speed up and relax the visa rules for people fleeing the Russian invasion—

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you for that answer. Wales's agricultural industry is, of course, facing an uncertain future with the Australian free trade agreement being given the go-ahead last December. I've mentioned many times in this Chamber that I believe that that agreement…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: International Women’s Day
Usually, I'd reflect on—. I'd like to reflect on this year's International Women's Day theme, which is 'break the bias', and I'm delighted that the Welsh Government is helping to break the bias in healthcare, with today's announcement of endometriosis…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, the gradual, science-led response of the Welsh Government to the pandemic has been supported by the majority of people in Wales. How confident are you of the ability of Wales to continue to take that approach, and what assessment have you made…

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 4
If there a job, or who's job is it, really? If you want to bring something forward in planning, who's job should it be to explain the benefits of an application to those people who will be affected, but who might not actually be the overall recipients of the…

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 4
Yes. That's interesting. So, this is just for RWE and EDF—well, actually, EDF—about how the approach to national energy planning should be adapted to ensure large scale. You started talking about it, to a degree, and you did mention there is a national…

Thank you, Chair. Not only do I cover Pembrokeshire, I actually live there, so, yes, I know about all the infrastructure. I think one of the first lessons I learnt—it's been alluded to—about bringing the public with you—. I remember there was an application…

So, with all that done, to what extent is Wales's offshore wind potential constrained by supply-chain port infrastructure and electric grid infrastructure?

Yes. It was about—. Yes, well, if you want to expand on what those discussions mean, because, obviously, there's timing, scale and speed of future leasing agreements that have to be reached. So, you know, yes, you've had discussions—that's great, I'm glad to…

I've got to remember to keep my hand off that button. This is just for the Crown Estate. You did start mentioning the Celtic sea and my question is on the discussions that you've had with the Welsh Government and also energy developers in Wales on the timing…

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 3
Just priorities. We were talking about priorities: the need to have energy, so we're not dependent on fossil fuels, and the need to balance, as Huw's just explored. So, my question is an easy one, a quick one: where will that priority lie? Are we in danger of…

[Inaudible.]—the operators. Anyway, just a question to Peter about regulatory derogation and your response to it. The Welsh Government has called for the development of that, to enable energy business model innovation, in support of the recommendation of the…

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 2
It is brief. I cover mid Wales—the only one here that does. The real problem with mid Wales, from great experience, is the fact that you can generate your green energy through wind, but then you've got a distribution issue. That's the crux of it in reality…

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 1
We could. But, in order for any scheme to go forward there are two hurdles. One is planning, one is consenting. I do know a little bit about this; I cover mid Wales. So, what needs to change—there's a question for you—in both those areas so that we can…

Can I come in, Chair, with just one quick question? I agree with everything, obviously, that you've said, but in terms of—. It's not just about producing energy; it's about saving the energy you've got. So, how joined up are you with the other policy…

Renewable energy generation in Wales - evidence session 1
First of all, apologies for being late; I've missed a lot of what you've said. There are intentions by the Welsh Government to reach a national energy plan, and that's from the ground up as well, by scaling up local energy plans, which will feed into that…

Topical Questions
I'm grateful to take part in this question, and I thank Mabon for laying it. Unlike Samuel Kurtz, who will try to defend the indefensible, and has swallowed, obviously, the little black book or whatever it is he's been given to do that, I don't feel quite so…
