Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you. As you say, Bwcabus has been funded by the EU for the last few years, but that funding is now ending. But it isn't strange at all, because there is no unallocated funding from the RDP. So, we do have until the end of this year to spend every penny…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Diolch. We are continuing to support our farmers and land managers through rural investment schemes, investing over £200 million. However, there are inevitable impacts from the ending of the rural development programme, as the UK Government has left our rural…

I was quite horrified to see that article—somebody sent it to me, actually, as well; I think it was the Farmers Guardian that was discussing it—and to hear him say that. As you know, we made it very clear as a Government to the UK Government that, when we…

No, indeed. I'm very sorry to hear of the incident and, as you say, unfortunately, most years we do hear of very similar events. I will certainly ask the Minister for Climate Change if she's had any further discussions with the UK Government, because…

Thank you. I absolutely agree, better passenger information is vital. As somebody who uses buses in Cardiff and Wrexham, in Cardiff it is so much better than we have in Wrexham. It would be good to see far more consistency across the country. As you know…

Thank you. As the Member and other Members know, I am committed to consulting on the licensing of activities involving animals before the end of this calendar year. Further to a question on the licensing of owners and/or keepers or trainers of racing dogs…

Thank you. I know there were ongoing discussions between Welsh Government and Bridgend local authority. I'm not aware of the outcomes of that. I will certainly ask the Minister, if there's anything that he thinks worthy of a written statement, to do so.

Thank you. Over the next year, the Minister for Health and Social Services has set a smaller number of clear priorities for our health boards and their partners. For urgent and emergency care, services must focus on the effective management of people with…

Thank you. You raise a very important point. I know the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language is currently updating the guidance that's available to our schools in relation to bullying, but he will be happy to bring forward a written statement.

Thank you. The security of collections is an operational matter for the national library. The staff at the library do work to professional standards, including archive service accreditation, to ensure that their collections are safeguarded, while ensuring…

Thank you. Well, both the issues you raise are down to the health boards to manage. I think your latter request is a big issue, and I know, certainly in my own constituency, at the Maelor, where the main entrance is you have a complete collection of stubs. I…

Diolch, Llywydd. There is one change to today's agenda. Later this afternoon, the Minister for Economy will make a statement on the closure of UK Windows & Doors Group Ltd. Draft business for the next three weeks is set out on the business statement and…

Thank you. Well, I absolutely recognise what you say about solidarity, but it is a reserved issue and I don't think the Chamber would be the best place to have that. But I do think a statement of opinion was absolutely correct.

Business Statement and Announcement
Well, this hasn't 'literally been foisted on them'. The introduction of the 20 mph speed limit has been very well documented for a long time, and I'm very aware that Welsh Government has had a letter from Stagecoach saying the exact opposite. Now, with most…

Business Statement and Announcement
Thank you. Well, as you stated, guidance was published last week regarding vapes. And as a Government, we've historically had a very cautious approach to e-cigarettes, given that the evidence on their long-term effects is developing, and I think that we also…

Thank you. Well, the two schools I referred to in my previous answer to Altaf Hussain were, of course, in your constituency. As you know, the Minister made an oral statement. I think then he did two written statements on RAAC in schools, and he'd be very…

Business Statement and Announcement
Thank you. Well, as you know, the ongoing issue around RAAC in certain buildings across Wales, it began with education, and the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language made an oral statement more or less immediately after the first of the two schools…

Business Statement and Announcement
Thank you. Well, I'll just clarify for the Member; it wasn't a slip of the tongue. I hadn't discussed that one with the Deputy Minister, but I absolutely take your point. Regarding co-operative housing, Welsh Government really does want to continue to support…

Business Statement and Announcement
Thank you. I think it is really important, if you've got these three community events, that people are aware of them. I'm not sure that the best way forward would be a written statement from the Minister for Climate Change, but I will certainly make some…

Thank you. You raise a very important point in your second question. It's not something I'm aware of that we are currently considering, but, obviously, the Minister for Health and Social Services is in her place and heard your question. In relation to your…

Diolch, Llywydd. There is one change to this week's business. After the business statement, the Minister for Climate Change will make a statement on net-zero commitments. Draft business for the next three weeks is set out on the business statement and…

Well, I was the Minister who made that decision and I will certainly make sure that that is published, unless, obviously, there is anything that excludes that.FootnoteLink

Yes, we all liked that. You make a really good point, and I think that's a very good example. We're continually learning, aren't we? And it's been great to celebrate Adult Learners' Week. As you say, there have been events here in the Senedd and all around…

Diolch. Well, bus services are very important to many of our constituents—we know that from our postbags—and, obviously, bus timetables are a matter for local authorities and bus service providers. But, the Deputy Minister for Climate Change has announced £46…

Thank you. I'm aware of the report that you referred to, which was commissioned by the Minister for Health and Social Services, and I'm sure, once she's considered that, a statement will be forthcoming. But, I think you make a really important point—so long…
