Debate on the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee Report, 'Nuclear energy and the Welsh economy'
Just a few comments from me. I'm grateful for this report from the committee. I don't believe there's anything unexpected in its findings or its recommendations. Briefly, what we have is a realisation that there is economic benefit that can come as a result…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Thank you for that response. I too congratulate the Cabinet Secretary on his appointment. He will be highly aware of the importance of the agricultural industry for my constituency, and of the very real concerns that exist among farmers on Anglesey, as is the…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
'Jeremy and Vaughan are living in gaga land if they think they're getting justice devolved'? I hope the First Minister will be making the case for empowering Wales and this Parliament, and prove that his priorities are driven by the interests of our…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
And what about policing and justice? With the elections for the police and crime commissioners on the horizon, these benches are entirely committed to a justice system for Wales. During the leadership race, the First Minister said that he wanted more powers…

The leader of the Conservatives was given some more time than this, if you could bear with me.

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
Now, in Plaid Cymru, we are clear as to what we would do differently and, first of all, we must stop looking at things constantly through the Westminster prism. We are supposed to believe that the election of a Labour Government will be some sort of silver…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
I hope the Senedd will forgive my slight cynicism at the beginning of this new term, but it feels all too familiar, that there has been some musical chairs in the Cabinet, but otherwise it's a rehashing, a reforming of what we previously had. I'll begin with…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
I welcome this early statement of the new Government's priorities, and I wish that Government well in its work, and do so sincerely. The challenges facing the Government are numerous and substantial, and they emerge partly from Conservative austerity at…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm deeply concerned that he is not more concerned that, whilst the money is being made available for defence at this time, the same pledge can't be made for Wales, with a desperate need for that money. Now, the First Minister himself spoke yesterday about…

Questions to the First Minister
Guilty as charged of being obsessed with wanting fair funding from a UK Government of whichever colour. And it's a shame that we have a First Minister that isn't equally obsessed with pursuing that. He complains enough about the lack of funding that he has…

Questions to the First Minister
The new First Minister came into the job under a cloud, but at least we know that he had a skill for leveraging in money after he persuaded one individual to donate £200,000 to his leadership campaign. Now, I'm sure that the First Minister wouldn't want me to…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd. We do welcome the new First Minister to his first session of weekly questions, and I extend my congratulations to him. But I want to know immediately from him what difference he will make.

Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula
Thank you to the Minister and thanks to everybody that's taken part in this debate today. I don't think I need to re-rehearse the arguments that we've heard—we've heard some very, very strong cases made today about why we absolutely and fundamentally need to…

Thank you very much, Dirprwy Lywydd.

Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula
Thank you for taking the intervention. Do you accept the point that I made, though? If you think essentially about per capita funding, it is, more often than not, London that actually gets more funding per head of the population, and that's why it doesn't…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula
Thank you for those comments. Yes, of course, there are different attitudes in different parts of these isles, and I will refer to that as we look at the Government's amendment in a few moments' time, if I may. But I was about to say that given the record of…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula
Thank you very much, Chair. The basis of our debate today is very simple, namely that Wales should be funded fairly by Westminster, and I think the fact that we have to make this case in the first instance speaks volumes about our status within this unequal…

Statement by the First Minister: Resignation Statement
As I said, the First Minister and I had pretty robust exchanges in this Chamber. As a cheese lover myself, I hope those exchanges have been less salty than his beloved Caerphilly cheese, but they have been honest exchanges, reflective of our differing…

Statement by the First Minister: Resignation Statement
I am very proud of what my party and his Government have achieved together—a stronger Senedd, bold policies that will change the lives of those who elected us to this place for the better. And to that end, I am certain that we are agreed that that is the…

Statement by the First Minister: Resignation Statement
'I did grow up in the Assembly, in Rhodri Morgan's office when he was First Minister. In that sense, I wanted to say to people that I know what it's like to be First Minister, from the inside.' Now, as he looks back, and knowing first-hand, I hope it was all…

Statement by the First Minister: Resignation Statement
When any important political era comes to an end, it's always worth while looking back to where we started. I was reminded this week of what was said during the contest for the Labour leadership in 2018. In an interview with the BBC, the then candidate, Mark…
