Questions to the First Minister
I'm sorry, but all we've seen under Labour Governments has been stagnation. That has to come to an end. And the truth is that Labour have been hiding behind blaming the Tories for a decade and more and now that they have no wriggle room what is the First…

Questions to the First Minister
I'll tell you what businesses tell me every day: they say they are desperate for a new direction and new leadership. Let me give you a taste of what this First Minister promised—just a couple of things. She promised a Minister for productivity and a new…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch yn fawr iawn. In the light of the news that James Evans has lost the Conservative whip for flirting with a party he once called 'unserious', with 'dangerous' rhetoric, I look forward to taking my place and being the first opposition party leader to ask…

Questions to the First Minister
Of course, this is a First Minister who can't mention rail, because this is a Government that was willing to settle for a paltry sum given to Wales for investment in rail in the recent comprehensive spending review, when the Scottish Government was able to…

Questions to the First Minister
With Labour's record, nobody believes the words uttered by the First Minister there. Plaid Cymru talks Wales up; Labour runs Wales down. On all these pre-election promises, do them now. That is the message. If you are so capable as a Government, do these…

Questions to the First Minister
I look forward to having the debate with others in this Chamber and beyond in the build-up to this election, robustly and respectfully. But firstly, I'd like to congratulate the First Minister for capturing perfectly what's at stake in May, as Labour's leaked…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. Happy new year, Llywydd, First Minister and Senedd. In a crucial year for Wales, I do look forward to taking the Plaid Cymru offer to the people—an offer that offers real solutions to the challenges facing our communities and that will show…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Brexit and the future relationship with the EU
Thank you. Do you agree with me that, far from the comfort blanket that the UK was, as described by the leader of the Conservatives, Brexit opened the door to the UK Government undermining Wales through the Barnettisation of the funding for agriculture?

Plaid Cymru Debate: Brexit and the future relationship with the EU
Thank you for taking the intervention. Describe to me how the economic stagnation that Wales has been suffering as part of the United Kingdom or the entrenched child poverty that we have in Wales as part of the United Kingdom makes this a successful union for…

Topical Questions
The ceasefire in Gaza, whilst long overdue, offers hope after the darkest of days. The humanitarian response from the international community must not repeat the inaction of Governments around the world since Hamas's shocking and horrific attacks of 7…

May I start, Dirprwy Lywydd, by welcoming the written statement issued by the Government today saying that there will be a further financial contribution of £100,000 to the DEC humanitarian campaign in the middle east, and bringing the total since October…

Business Statement and Announcement
Could I ask for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs about the Welsh Government’s plans to support the two geoparks that have UNESCO status here in Wales: Fforest Fawr geopark in Bannau Brycheiniog and, of course, GeoMôn…

Questions to the First Minister
Mentioning things and bringing things up? That's not discussing with the UK Government. What was said in a written answer by UK Government was this: 'The UK Government has had no discussions with the Welsh Government on devolving the Crown Estate.' And of…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm not sure what the First Minister thinks the nature is of these conversations that she is having. We asked the Chancellor what recent discussions she had had with the Welsh Government on devolving the management of the Crown Estate to Wales. The answer…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister will be aware that Plaid Cymru has called for many years for the devolution of the Crown Estate. We are talking about managing and benefiting from our natural resources. As she noted her first 100 days in the role, the First Minister said…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Establishment of a school of dentistry in Bangor
Thank you to Siân for bringing this debate to the Senedd once again and for her work over many years now in campaigning for a new dental school in north Wales. We know about the crisis, don't we, that's facing dentistry in Wales. Despite the fact that dental…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
I'm grateful to Janet Finch-Saunders for asking this question today, which reminds us that it's not just in Anglesey that the impact is being felt; it's being felt in places such as Aberconwy as well. We received a number of important responses from the…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales: Port of Holyhead
May I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement today? We're pleased that we've been able to be in touch throughout this period, and I will note my surprise that we've heard so little from the UK Government, bearing in mind the importance, as we've…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering for Wales
I will end by reflecting on what the First Minister said: 'We're just getting started.' Labour have led Welsh Government for 25 years. If the First Minister believes that now it is time for them to get started, then it really is time for a fresh start with…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering for Wales
Llywydd, empty promises encourage people to turn to powers that feed on prejudice and fear. We have to gain trust in our promises. That's the essence of delivery: doing what we say we're going to do, and to do so in order to create a fairer society that works…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering for Wales
This was a weak statement by the First Minister, labelled 'delivery', but, essentially, just a reminder that this is a failing Government that is in a rut, out of ideas, out of energy, and soon, hopefully, to be out of power. We heard from the First Minister…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister is all talk when it comes to the partnership in power. Unfortunately, she is unable to deliver anything, it seems. One way to be assured of not getting the £4 billion owed on HS2 is to stop asking. The one way to be assured of not getting…
