Decarbonisation of the steel industry in South Wales - evidence session with Tata Steel
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Just thinking about the workforce at the moment, many of us not just in this room, but in the Senedd, have talked about the need for a just transition and the importance of ensuring the workers aren't left behind as we look to decarbonise…

So, on the cost of replacing those two blast furnaces, roughly what was the cost?

So, it's solely reliant on the level of investment the UK Government is willing to put in.

Decarbonisation of the steel industry in South Wales - evidence session with Tata Steel
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I think Members of this committee will fast realise that I'm a very cynical person, but, you know, worst-case scenario here now, say that there is no agreement reached with the UK Government on investment around steel here in Wales, what…

Plaid Cymru Debate: HS2 redesignation
Diolch, Llywydd dros dro. Today, we demand that the UK Government recognises its unjust neglect of Wales and provides us with the consequential funding owed to us. For too long, Westminster has ignored the needs and aspirations of Wales. We have seen…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
We would welcome that clarity at committee. Of course, completion rates have dipped below Scotland's completion rates. The stats also show pretty clearly an increase in uncompleted apprenticeships as a result of apprentices seeking employment before the end…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Diolch, Llywydd. An approach to apprenticeships should be focused on end outcomes rather than just simply overall numbers. Now, it's great that the Welsh Government has committed to creating 125,000 additional apprenticeships over this Senedd term, but that…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Shared Prosperity and Levelling Up
I join the Minister in welcoming back my colleague and opposite number in the Tory party. I'm particularly glad to see him back in the Chamber, and I'm particularly looking forward to working with him on the committee inquiry into this very subject, where I…

Questions to the First Minister
One sector of the economy that contributes massively to Welsh GVA is the hospitality sector. I'm sure that the First Minister is pleased that the campaign to bring the Worldchefs Congress and Expo to Wales has been a success, with Wales set to be on the world…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Diolch, Gweinidog. I think we should all be very concerned about the Department for Work and Pensions' latest pilots in England and Scotland, which mandate face-to-face attendance for up to 10 days every two weeks for claimants, with the threat of sanctions…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: The Free-port Programme in Wales
I'm sure the Minister won't be surprised to learn that my opinion hasn't changed when it comes to free ports. This is nothing more than an abdication of power to companies through creating deregulated zones—trickle-down economics in its purest form…

Evidence session 2 - P-06-1326 The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
Thanks, Dean. It can't have been easy to speak to a lot of these people and hear about some of their cases. All this, of course, happening while energy companies and energy bosses are raking in billions. Disgusting, to be quite frank, Chair. I'll hand back to…

Evidence session 2 - P-06-1326 The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
Diolch, Gadeirydd. In terms of your investigations, Dean, you've touched on it already around the impact it had had on people. I'm particularly keen to understand the impacts on vulnerable groups of people as well. You mentioned, of course, people not being…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. We have seen the publication of the cancer improvement plan, which I think acknowledges the challenges ahead within the services, and, from the plan itself, it does look to focus on improvement within the cancer service. I think, because…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I take the point in terms of that it's difficult to know where this committee can go on this particular petition, but I think it's important to note why people are so frustrated with what's gone on. My colleague Mabon ap Gwynfor, I think…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Cadeirydd. There's now a commitment from the UK and Welsh Governments to ban the sale of peat compost, so I think at this point now it's time for the committee to close the petition and congratulate the petitioner.

Evidence session 1 - P-06-1326 The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
Great, thank you. If I could just come back to the mention you made of UK Government figures around this, is it that the data they provide isn't aggregated to a Welsh level? And, if that is the case, do you think that there's a role for Welsh Government to…

In terms of the figures that Citizens Advice had quoted, those were based on just Citizens Advice service users, so the figures actually could be a lot bigger.

Evidence session 1 - P-06-1326 The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Some important points I think have been raised already. In terms of energy, just like water, it's essential for people, so there's a question as to why people are struggling as they are. And I was quite interested to read what Citizens…

Group 16: Long Title (Amendment 56)
Diolch, Gadeirydd. It is important that the long title of the Bill adequately covers the full scope of the provisions within the Bill and it should therefore record the fact that it will amend the provisions of both the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 and the…
