Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. A planning application to build 300 homes on a greenfield site in Blackwood was actually lodged in 2018. It was rejected by the local authority’s planning committee, and following the developer's decision to…

Thank you so much for that response. I was recently contacted by a constituent with a plea for help regarding a heartbreaking case. Three-year-old Luna from Chepstow has recently been diagnosed with a rare and life-limiting condition known as MPS VI. Her…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 4
Professor Tonge—sorry, Chair, just a sub-question to that—you mentioned that there are some things that we need to watch out for, and I took note of all the things that you mentioned previously. But, as with every rule, every law, there are certain things…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 4
Thank you, Chair, and thank you so much, Professor Tonge. I have one question. Obviously, you've mentioned the Northern Ireland model, we've spoken about Westminster, we heard from our Scottish counterpart earlier this morning, and we've also been privy to…

Plaid Cymru Debate: HS2 funding
Not any more, please, I'd like to carry on. Labour leader Keir Starmer has time and time again refused to commit to giving Wales extra HS2 money should he—and this is an incredibly frightening thought—become Prime Minister in the next few weeks. Hopefully he…

Plaid Cymru Debate: HS2 funding
To an extent, but, as you're aware, Carolyn, because I know you're very passionate about transport, a lot of the train lines have links between Network Rail and Transport for Wales, and that's where the money’s going to go. Whilst we believe HS2 should be…

Plaid Cymru Debate: HS2 funding
Can I thank Plaid Cymru for bringing this debate before the Chamber this afternoon? Let me start by being crystal clear. I've said it before and I'll say it again today: the Welsh Conservatives have long called for Wales to receive its share in HS2…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister
I will begin my contribution today by saying something that may shock a lot of you here in this Chamber today. First Minister, I can honestly say that, party politics aside, I was genuinely happy to see you take up this role and become the first black leader…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I'd like to thank Hefin David for asking this very important question, and please accept my heartfelt condolences for your constituent on their loss as well. Cabinet Secretary, a constituent of mine recently had a heart attack at home and, when his wife…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
Cabinet Secretary, we often hear from this Welsh Labour Government about the pride that you take in your party's roots embedded within the Welsh community itself, with steelworkers at the heart, alongside your close relationship with trade unions, with these…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, let's bring it back to Wales now. We're in the Welsh Parliament; let the UK Government focus on their own things. Now, First Minister, businesses in Wales are finding it increasingly difficult to stay afloat following the Welsh Government's…

Thank you so much, Chair. Commissioner, I just wanted to ask you a question. We've obviously spoken about triggering the petition. My question is about the process of it. Obviously, at the moment, many people are aware of the complaints procedure. If this was…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence session 1
Thank you, Joe. Chair, just one final sub-question, and I know you’re short of time. So, Joe, just a hypothetical. An ex-Member—i.e. a retired Member, a Member that’s left, a Member that’s stepped away from the Senedd—would not be a good choice for this…
