Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
May I thank the Cabinet Secretary for her response? It's a shame that the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales hadn't realised that question number 1 in the next session involved him, but I'm sure that—

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning: Energy and the green economy
Thank you for the statement. I agree with the Minister, of course, on the need to build an exciting new green economy for the future, but I want to refer to plans to develop huge solar farms in my constituency and to argue that this isn't the solution at all…

Questions to the First Minister
Of course there's co-operation already happening, but on this announcement of new cross-border working, the First Minister is genuinely making it up as she goes along, I think. We know nothing about these plans because there were no plans, were there? We've…

Questions to the First Minister
The problem is that we have absolutely no idea what is actually being proposed. Despite her promise of mutual aid partnerships between NHS trusts in England and health boards in Wales, Welsh Government’s Cabinet Secretary for health has ruled out giving Welsh…

'These practical, commonsense steps could deliver real change on the ground for patients and clinicians.'

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister’s reference to putting words in mouths tempts me to make comparisons with the ridiculous notion that Welsh Government’s excellent performance on dentistry is something that we should be learning from. Jo Stevens told The Guardian that, and…

Questions to the First Minister
Now, assuming that the Welsh Government were involved in those decisions, what exactly did Jo Stevens mean by that?

'NHS patients in Wales will be allowed to travel to England for outpatient or elective treatment under plans to be announced by the Welsh secretary'.

Short Debate: Filling the gaps: The case for training dentists in Bangor
I just want to thank Siân for bringing this debate forward and for bringing the report to the Senedd this afternoon. It was wonderful to be in Reichel Hall a few weeks ago, where the support was so, so apparent across a broad range of people with various…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Education funding
Thank you for taking an intervention, and it's positive to hear a long list of things that you intend to do as a Government to try to address what has become a clear pattern of failure in education in Wales for many years. Why do you think that it's taken…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report, 'Sound the Alarm: The Governance of Fire and Rescue Services'
Finally, and this, possibly, is what concerns me most, despite the inquiry and the damning report into the service in south Wales, the staff within that service continue to say that they see few changes being implemented. The alarm has been ringing very…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report, 'Sound the Alarm: The Governance of Fire and Rescue Services'
The issues laid bare in this report aren't new issues. There has been a failure on the part of Welsh Government to act since concerns around the governance of the fire and rescue service were first exposed by Audit Wales back in 2018. And as my colleague…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report, 'Sound the Alarm: The Governance of Fire and Rescue Services'
May I start by thanking the committee for their work? I'd also like to thank the ITV journalists for the work they did in digging up the truth here, and also I'd like to thank those staff and union officials within the fire and rescue service for their…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
I also wanted to add my voice in pushing for rapid movement on this. I'm grateful to the Member for Cardiff North for asking the questions today and, of course, for all her work with the contaminated blood cross-party group here that I now chair. And I agree…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister talks about making things up; the only thing I see being made up here is jobs for people that Keir Starmer no longer wants in his top team, so that he can hive off responsibility for having to deal with Wales. The First Minister doesn't…

Questions to the First Minister
Perhaps I should just have asked what is a special envoy, because I certainly have no idea. I hope the First Minister can see how terrible this looks, and it raises some pretty serious questions if she doesn't. What's really worrying is that this appointment…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning: Tata Steel
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. I'm disappointed in the Cabinet Secretary's position in saying that we shouldn't at this point be looking back at all, and of course we should be looking forward in how to build an economic future for those communities of Port…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm afraid that the First Minister, unintentionally I'm sure, gives the impression that she doesn't understand the sheer significance of the closure of that blast furnace, again, claiming success in some measures of the negotiation around the loss of those…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister suggests that Labour's actions have been in some way successful. Of course, everything needs to be done to protect those losing their work, but this has seen the end of blast furnace steel production. The First Minister says it's the end of…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Llywydd. In Mumbai in May, the previous First Minister said he would fight tooth and nail to save Tata Steel jobs. At the Labour conference, business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds promised an industrial strategy to wrestle global investment away from…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh Government priorities
I'd hoped to have been presenting this motion to the new First Minister. It's a response to her statement on her priorities, after all. I wanted her to hear and respond, in fact, to those concerns of ours that the ambiguity of the statement that she has given…
