I'm sure you're not going to agree with all of that, but over to you, Minister.

Diolch. Moving on to the Great British Energy Bill, are you planning regular discussions with the UK Government on the development of this Bill?

I just wanted to make that point. The point is, of course, that LCMs are different now, aren't they? You knew you'd get an LCM through every single time because the Labour group would vote for it, the Conservatives would vote for it. The Conservatives are now…

Luke talked about this, but I want to go into slightly more detail. What engagement has the Welsh Government had with the UK Government on the Bill, both before and after the election?

Diolch yn fawr. If I move on to the questions, the first one from me is. Unusually, neither of the LCMs sets out the position of the Welsh Government on whether or not the Senedd should withhold or grant consent. What's the Welsh Government's recommendation…

Short Debate: The Welsh Economy: Structural problems and putting them right
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I have given a minute to Tom Giffard. The Welsh economy is performing poorly compared to the rest of Great Britain and has done so for many years. GVA per head in Wales in 2021 was £22,380, which was 74.1 per cent of the…

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
That's quite interesting. I'm not quite sure how it takes us any iota further forward. I mean, the point is that it would come off the block grant. I actually support it coming to Wales, because there are things we can do with it, but I don't think that money…
