Short Debate: Saving lives and protecting our communities—The case for overdose prevention centres
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd dros dro. By almost any measure you want to look at, the war on drugs has failed. It has failed in the high number of drug deaths; it has failed when you look at how drugs have become a significant factor in determining prison…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I'd like a Government statement on the future of Ffos-y-fran opencast site in Merthyr. It has been some time since we heard anything about this site. Residents have been left with an ugly eyesore that requires remediation to return it to the…

Well, what's happened with Bannau Brycheiniog and Eryri is that they haven't been removed, they're still there, but in all correspondence and as the public name of things, that's the natural way that you'd use them. So, that's why I'm asking to have a look at…

So, I don't think that has a bearing on how many Welsh speakers there are. Obviously, that 2050—

It's just a matter of using the Welsh names and also the protection of historical Welsh names.
, Petitions Committee

It's to do with using only the Welsh names. So, for example, 'Bannau Brycheiniog', for example—

I would like to thank Mihangel ap Rhisiart for bringing this petition forward, because it is a very important issue that we do save Welsh place names. It's one of the things, as you will know, that is included in the co-operation agreement, and, as I…

New Petitions
Yes, that's what I'm—. So, there isn't any need, then, to send a letter to the council to ask them to do something. If it's a trunk road, then it comes under the Deputy Minister. I just wanted to double check. There we are. Thanks.

Just a quick question, really, with this road—and I'm trying to picture it; I know roughly where it is, I think—is there anything that the council could do, or is it a trunk road? I don't know where the responsibility lies.

Again, on a similar theme to some other petitions that we've had recently and that we will be discussing in May, I think, in Plenary, I think this adds to that discourse around ALN and it adds another aspect of the complexities of what's going on, and what…

So, if we're able to do that after tomorrow, but discuss outside of the meeting if we're able to as to the wording around it. Because I think there is an element of urgency around it.

I'd like to extend a welcome to you up in the gallery, and I know you were outside earlier with a number of people who are very interested in this in my region in south-east Wales. The Gwent levels is somewhere that everybody should go and visit and see, so…
