Business Statement and Announcement
I'd be grateful if, when budget deals or statements are made in the future, that they're made to the Chamber, and not to the press in advance. But on to—. I request a statement, if possible, Trefnydd, from the Minister for education, based on AI and coding…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. I agree with you. Sport can have a huge impact on the economy, as we've seen in places like Swansea—when they made the Premier League, tens of millions of pounds put into the economy there—and here in Cardiff, when they were a part…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Apologies, I did name him, so he came to respond, probably. I'm sure he wasn't looking to break any rules. In closing, I urge Members today to support our motion in getting Wales moving again. Diolch yn fawr.

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
You didn't answer what I was addressing, your top-down approach, Ken. Let's get back to your true devolution. But, in terms of schools, I went through education under Labour Governments consecutively here. There wasn't 30 mph outside my school when I was…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Absolutely. I want to hear this one.

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Diolch, Lywydd. As I was saying, we heard also from the benches opposite about how some councils hadn't reversed the decision. Maybe, because of the state that Labour left councils in, with a lack of funds, they simply can't afford it. Some people don't want…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
What? Oh, Minister, you've got more to say again now, have you? Is this the democracy of Plaid Cymru? Heckle from the front benches after having minutes of your own time. Trust me, I've got a lot to come to, Minister. This decision today is important to how…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Diolch, Lywydd. Well, those local authorities next year will be tested on that, if that's what the response was, because we'll be looking forward to taking this issue back out onto the doorstep and letting the people of Wales decide whether this was a good or…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
I thank the Minister for the answer there. The other concern that people are passing to me in terms of post office closures—whether it's Caerphilly or throughout the constituency—is, once the post office closes, it's the lack of being able to get ID…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I'd be grateful if I could have a statement from the health Minister. A few days after the Senedd election, Audit Wales reported that the Aneurin Bevan health board had awarded £10 million in GP contracts, and that they felt that due diligence…

Trefnydd, I'd be grateful if I could have a statement on local train overcrowding. Transport for Wales's service for Bridgend to Rhymney is currently the third most overcrowded service between peak hours in the UK. That service now is affecting commuters…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, a constituent has come to me who is now unable to work because he has a hernia. He's been waiting close to 36 weeks for his surgery. He's living in pain. He feels it affects his family life, his relationship with his children, all because he's…

Reform UK Debate: Grooming gangs
The £65 million is allocated by the UK Government. It's a strange scenario; the finance Minister here should be quite happy that Reform isn't asking her to spend any money from the Welsh budget today. We must be included in there, and I hope, when you do meet…

Reform UK Debate: Grooming gangs
Diolch, Lywydd. Can I start by thanking all Members who tried to contribute to the spirit of how we hoped today's debate would go? Paul, your bravery inspires us all. What you and your family went through, what you still go through, and to have the courage to…

Diolch, Lywydd. Trefnydd, may I ask for a statement from the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability on historic PCB dumping in Wales? In my own constituency, toxic waste was dumped in the Ty Llwyd quarry in Ynysddu, and, decades later…

Business Statement and Announcement
Members will have seen yesterday that the Scarlets signed a new deal with the Welsh Rugby Union, but, rather than seen as a success, it was described on the BBC as 'peace is temporary'. Welsh rugby is in an uncertain time, especially its professional side…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, we've heard now several times from the Government, including the finance Minister herself when she did the media rounds about the upcoming budget, that the finances weren't as Plaid Cymru thought they were going to be. That is after access talks…

Wales is in the middle of what is a housing crisis. I'm aware that the Government brought forward its house building targets, but I was wondering if the Trefnydd could convince the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning to come forward to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospital services and hospital closures
I echo a lot of what has been said in the Chamber today. It is concerning, the backlog in the maintenance. That's why we added the amendment today, and I'm proud to be supporting it. That money is urgent. Hospitals need it now. We've all seen the scary…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution: Priorities for Government Effectiveness and Constitution
Minister, I think I've heard the Labour spokesperson and the Conservative spokesperson ask you clearly for a costing, and I don't believe in all of your answers I’ve heard a single costing on how much this new commission is going to cost. On a day when you're…

Thank you for that answer. First Minister, hundreds of pupils are facing cuts to essential school transport in the Caerphilly County Borough Council area. I joined with protesters a few weeks ago, and I've walked the potential new route myself. Though it…
