Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
I have accepted all along that Welsh Government is limited in what it can do, but that doesn't stop you calling on the UK Government to make these decisions on nationalisation, or even preservation. Now, the Government has been reluctant to do that up until…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
I have to say, I was taken aback yesterday by the Cabinet Secretary's comment saying the solutions that both myself and Adam Price have championed are not grounded in reality. He's repeated that here now. But the reality as I see it is that the closures are…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
Diolch, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, I want to follow up on yesterday's Government debate on steel and just express my disappointment that Plaid Cymru's amendments to the motion were voted down. I don't think that the Government, or the Tories for that matter…

Great. I don't know if Mark wants to come in before I hand back to you, Chair.

I have a particular interest in modular housing, but I think one of the problems we've had over the years is that, as politicians and policy makers, we talk about it quite a bit as being potentially a way of solving the problem, but I think the pipeline point…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I was going to come on to modern methods of construction and the role they can play in addressing the backlog we have, in terms of social housing and the need to build them. I was going to ask about the barriers, but I think, in the first…

Okay. Thank you. That's really interesting.

So, how would you get around the scalability issue, then, if you take away? Is that the way you would go about it, or is there—?

Sorry, is that a loan through the Development Bank of Wales, then?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Sticking with delivery, if I could go to David, with Tirion. As part of the written evidence that you provided to the committee prior to this session, you described a business model based on pension fund investments. I was just wondering if…

In the interest of time, I'll move to my final question, Chair, specifically around the exemplar sites that are being delivered via the Welsh Government’s land division. Do you think it’s feasible to expect local authorities to be taking on the land assembly…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. If we could just think about, for a moment, the Welsh Government's grant regime, is that supporting the building of social housing in the way that it should be? Ultimately, is it working? Katie.

Good.

Social housing supply: Evidence session 3
We've touched on it quite a bit there in terms of the scale of the challenge we're talking about now, in terms of getting up to speed with social housing and resolving the crisis. How do we look at, say, modern methods of construction as a potential solution…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. How important are acquisitions in all the delivery aspects of things? We've talked a lot or we've heard a lot about the different capital programmes that are available to help move things along. I suppose there'd be a double question here…

Debate: The Steel Industry in Wales
Diolch, Llywydd. I move the amendments tabled in the name of Heledd Fychan. I'll start by saying that Plaid Cymru support what is set out in the original motion. As far as this goes, we are clear that there is a future for primary steel making in Wales and…

Debate: The Infected Blood Inquiry Report
Firstly, I want to pay tribute to all those who have campaigned on this issue and continue to campaign. Some are here with us today, and we will remember the ones who are not. As the Cabinet Secretary highlighted, before FMQs, there was an opportunity to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
Well, this is why, for example, I've talked about the charge needing to be at the right level for starters, right? You say that there is no tourism levy in the rest of the UK. I'd say that that is the case until the point where places like Cornwall, for…
