Welsh Government Draft Budget - Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd

Topical Questions
Diolch, Dirprwy Weinidog. It's a new year, but it's the same old story when it comes to Cardiff Airport. This time, it's Wizz Air; a few months ago, Qatar Airways pulled out, that after investment from Welsh Government; perhaps the Deputy Minister could…

Topical Questions
Today, I had the pleasure of co-sponsoring, with Carolyn Thomas, a drop-in event with Communication Workers Union members. As those who attended will know, what they had to say about Royal Mail's disregard for its employees was shocking: casualisation, pay…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language

New Petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I think we considered a similar petition in December—I think that was more relating to reducing the number of days to 108, I believe. At the time we closed that petition due to the fact that Welsh Government were aware of issues relating to…

New Petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I'm conscious that we are unclear at this moment in time whether a development of national significance application has been submitted. Of course, that gives an opportunity for stakeholders and members of the public to be consulted on any…

New Petitions
