Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
This chapter raises broader concern about the fundamental health of our democracy. There is a risk of a poison affecting our politics here. The lack of regulation of funding in politics is a problem, and we must truly guard against politics becoming a game in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
The average property price in Wales is £225,000, so you can buy a house for that or you can use a similar amount to build your case to be leader of the Labour Party in Wales—an internal party election; the sum is eye-watering. We've seen nothing like it in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
Thank you very much, Llywydd. We also note how incredible it is that the First Minister himself isn't here to listen to these debates this afternoon.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
Now, the First Minister's 'nothing to see here' attitude is at best complacent, at worst contemptuous, towards the people we're here to serve. And people will come to their own judgment about his absence here this afternoon. So, Plaid Cymru's ask today is…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. Next week, we will celebrate 25 years since the establishment of our own Parliament—an opportunity for us to do things slightly differently here in Wales, and to do things better. And it's because of that context that I, like so…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Thank you very much for that response. It's almost five years now since the Longford Road and Cambria surgeries had to be taken over by the health board directly. The surgeries were merged following that, but the service that has existed in Holyhead since…

Group 11: Referendum on the Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Act 2024 (Amendments 37, 38)
There's a police and crime commissioner election taking place this week with a new voting system. I missed that promise in a manifesto to change the voting for this time. I also missed the referendum. Tell me when it was.

Group 4: Voting system at Senedd general elections and allocation of seats (Amendments 32, 33, 34, 39, 35, 36)
Yes, I would like an intervention, and it's important that we have this discussion. Of course, it will be very clear on the ballot paper who is standing. People will be able to make a choice about who is on the top of the list and who is likely to be…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister is right: it's key what happened after this independent investigation. The Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning was questioned about Mr Millington's appointment in the Equality and Social Justice Committee only last…

Questions to the First Minister
The interim appointment is an important one. I know this is something that is being pursued by journalists at ITV Wales. When Stuart Millington was appointed, the north Wales chief fire officer, Dawn Docx issued a statement saying, and I quote, 'While it…

Questions to the First Minister
In February, it was announced that the Welsh Government would take over the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service after a finding that there was a culture of misogyny and sexual harassment. The commissioners who were sent in by the Government appointed Stuart…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. People want to know that they have a Government and a First Minister that they can trust, and that's why there's so much public attention on the poor judgment that you showed in receiving that money as part of your leadership…

Topical Questions
The Minister says that she is unable to intervene and it's not her decision, but it's entirely clear that she supports this decision. If she says that it is unusual for the Government to step in, and it hasn't happened for a long time, let me say here that I…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport: Priorities for Transport: Listening, partnership, making change
In the statement, the Minister says 'we have accepted the North Wales Transport Commission's recommendations for better traffic management around the Menai bridge.' The commission’s recommendations related to traffic management around the Britannia bridge…

Questions to the First Minister
Perhaps it's because people are struggling financially that they can't understand why this First Minister is so flippant about a gift of £200,000. And for the record, I'm not questioning a decision made by the Development Bank of Wales; the choice that we're…

Questions to the First Minister
The fact that you registered a donation from a convicted polluter doesn't make it good judgment to have accepted that donation. We've long associated Westminster with sleaze; that is not what we want here in Wales. In his acceptance speech, the new First…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Llywydd. It's over a month now since the First Minister took office. This is his second scrutiny session. These questions just aren't going away, are they? We've had the sheer scale of the payments to his leadership campaign—£200,000. We've had the…

Short Debate: The impact of renewable energy infrastructure on rural communities
Diolch yn fawr iawn. I'm grateful to James for bringing forward this debate. Planning is important here. We need to be able to control the scale of developments. We absolutely have to say 'yes' to undergrounding of cables, but it has to be more than just…

Debate on the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee Report, 'Nuclear energy and the Welsh economy'
Just to point out, there's no mention of Wylfa or Trawsfynydd in the latest documentation from the UK Government. You mentioned the jobs created by large nuclear in Ynys Môn. For the record, I would favour a smaller, modular option. But there is no decision…
