Building safety - evidence session 2
Okay. Thank you. I'll ask my next question in English because of issues around translation. The witnesses, the three of you, I think, have referenced difficulties in accessing funding, knowing who to turn to and having authorities argue who should take…

Finally, quickly, you've named Redrow, Laing O’Rourke, Bellway and other companies. Do you think that they should have building agreements in Wales in the wake of this?

Thank you very much. Thank you for coming in this morning. You've mentioned some pots of funding that have been provided by the Government, which haven't been delivered so far. There is a leaseholder support scheme from the Government, and I was just thinking…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Industrial relations
I'm glad to hear that you're saying that you're opposing what's going on in Westminster at the moment, and very strong words being said, but do you share my disappointment that your Labour colleagues aren't here today? Can you tell us where they are? Because…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Industrial relations
You say that you want us to follow the French and Italian models, and the legislative framework around employment laws are different there. Not only do they have different laws around strikes, but they've got better representation of workers on their boards…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you for that succinct response. The Government here has refused to accept the need to increase taxes in Wales, which will certainly lead to seeing our public services being squeezed and creaking, and some services disappearing. Of course, politics is…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you for that response. You will recall what appeared to me, at least, before Christmas, as being a farce in this Chamber as we were forced to vote on legislation that was entirely inappropriate. It was said at that point that it would be corrected at…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
I thank the Minister for that response. I'm sure it was concerning for you, like me, to read that there were 24 members of staff, not just police officers, having inquiries into them because of cases of domestic violence, sexual misconduct or violence against…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill
Well, following the contribution of John Griffiths, it will come as no surprise to any of you that I, and those of us on these benches, oppose this motion today and, in the process, will upset my new friend, Janet Finch-Saunders. This Bill, like so many of…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)—Progress of the Wales Five-year Animal and Environment Plan
Of course, it is a complex matter, and it is necessary to approach this from many perspectives. We must promote good hygiene practices to prevent the spread of disease, and we must promote the responsible use of antibiotics. It is the overuse and misuse of…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)—Progress of the Wales Five-year Animal and Environment Plan
I welcome this statement today, because AMR is having a detrimental impact on our farms and on public health. Indeed, by 2050, it is estimated that AMR will cause 10 million deaths across the world, and will cost $100 trillion to the world economy. So, as we…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Escalation and further intervention to improve the quality of services in Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Escalation and further intervention to improve the quality of services in Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
It's clear to everyone now that taking the board out of special measures was a cynical political step, which was done less than three years ago. And in that time, some things have deteriorated: vascular, urology, and emergency services, for example. But, I…
