Business Statement and Announcement
May I ask for a statement from the Minister for Climate Change on the Welsh Government strategy to take advantage of Wales's potential in the area of hydrogen? Indeed, a joint statement by the Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for economic…

Questions to the First Minister
The point is this: Labour can't have it both ways. They can't, on one hand, say they're prepared to launch a legal challenge, perhaps, against a Conservative Government, and say they're not willing to consider launching a legal challenge against a Labour…

Questions to the First Minister
But it's exactly the same economic circumstances in which you say the Conservatives should be paying consequentials. You're right, the Government is stressing time and time again that Wales is owed this money. I'm grateful for the response I've received from…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Llywydd. The party conference season is a great opportunity for parties to spell out how they'll fight for what is right for Wales. Not long after I'd set out my vision for reforming to build in Aberystwyth, Labour's shadow Secretary of State for…

Statement by the Llywydd
The events over the past few days in the middle east have shaken us all. We today think about everyone who has been affected directly by this, about the lives that have been lost, and we think of everyone of Israeli and Palestinian heritage in Wales who has…

Questions to the First Minister
I'll turn to another injustice now: the lack of control over Welsh water. As with trains, I think we pay too much for a service that isn't good enough when it comes to our water supply, and now we've heard that bills are about to increase. The truth is that…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
My case, of course, that I would put forward, is that the injustice is so clear on HS2 that the commitment should be made now without any ambiguity at all.
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I agree, and I want to work together on this. We know that the billions of pounds of HS2 consequentials being withheld from Wales could have a transformative impact on our country, including on our own transport system. I flew to the United States last week…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Llywydd. Now, as the Conservative Party conference unraveled on day one, reports emerged that the UK Government was scrapping HS2 from Birmingham North to Manchester. It was never a project to benefit Wales, of course, but, without that link at Crewe…

Debate on petition P-06-1332 'Fund vaccine research to protect red squirrels from deadly Squirrelpox virus'
The fundamental problem is simple, as we've already heard. The grey squirrel carries squirrelpox, but it's the red squirrel that suffers most and is hit hardest by that pox. In the past, we have responded to that and taken practical steps to try to respond…

Debate on petition P-06-1332 'Fund vaccine research to protect red squirrels from deadly Squirrelpox virus'
Well done for making sure that enough names made it onto that petition to trigger this debate today. I wrote to the Minister about the petition some months ago, so I'm pleased that we've got a chance to discuss it today. We know that the red squirrel is…

Thank you very much to Craig from the Red Squirrels Trust Wales for opening this petition. I congratulate him for gathering enough signatures.

People across the region and across Wales will want to know what this means for other services. For people in other parts of the region and beyond who hope to introduce new Fflecsi services to make up for services that are currently being lost, what is the…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
The closure last year, and now the long-term lights on the Menai bridge, have, of course, highlighted the lack of resilience of the Britannia crossing. The reason I ask the question today is because it honestly feels as if Welsh Government has given up on…

Business Statement and Announcement
I'm pleased to see the Minister for education in his seat today. I would like to have a written statement in relation to the impact of the discovery of RAAC and the effect of that on schools in my constituency on the way that pupils are assessed. I visited…

Questions to the First Minister
Of course, the reason I'm asking these questions today is because I want to influence the way the Welsh Government responds to what it receives during that consultation. I don't doubt for a second that the First Minister is sincere about wanting to eliminate…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister will know, of course, that the children's commissioner has been consistent, not just yesterday. This is what she said when the child poverty strategy went out for consultation in June: 'It’s hugely important that alongside a high-level…

Questions to the First Minister
The Children's Commissioner for Wales said in a Senedd committee yesterday that the Welsh Government needed to be clearer and braver in its approach to child poverty. Does the First Minister think that the Welsh Government was clear or brave when it decided…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd. Child poverty levels in Wales are a national scandal. They are a national disgrace. Research by the Bevan Foundation, published in June, suggests that one in five children is living in poverty in Wales. In some areas—Ceredigion, Blaenau…

Questions to the First Minister
And it's that kind of commitment to all parts of the United Kingdom, including Wales in particular for us, that I'm still looking for from Keir Starmer. I'm really interested in the language used by the First Minister talking about us wanting to break up…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful for the response. Of course it's an unequal union; the evidence is quite clear. That's why I think it's time for a redesign of Britain. The First Minister thinks it's time to double down. But let's look at how inequalities are manifested. One…
