Thank you, Chair. There's just one area that I'm very interested in and I think the committee might find it prudent to just keep an eye on, going forward. It's on pack page 65, it says that 'NHS England announced in 2022 a major investment "to support…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Yes. Thank you so much, Deputy Presiding Officer. I really appreciate it. I'd like to know why on earth I have never been referred to. After all, I am the shadow Minister for transport, and you know full well that not a single Member on these Conservative…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Deputy Presiding Officer, as someone who has worked in PR before, this is perhaps the most pathetic and patronising leaflet that the Welsh Government has ever sent out to members of the Welsh public. And let's not forget that the move will deliver a £9…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Thank you so much, Deputy Presiding Officer. It's my pleasure to move this important motion, tabled in the name of my colleague Darren Millar. In just a few days' time, this Labour Government's ludicrous blanket roll-out of 20 mph speed limits is set to come…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: 20 mph default speed limit on restricted roads
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your statement this afternoon on your deeply unpopular 20 mph pet project. It's no secret here, and I've been saying since day one, that I, alongside my colleagues, the Welsh Conservatives, have no problem with 20 mph being…

Questions to the First Minister
I'd like to thank Jayne Bryant for asking this very important question today. News of the restructuring plan at Nexperia, which could result in the loss of 100 jobs, is extremely worrying for, I'm sure, colleagues all across the Chamber here today, and it's…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
