Statement by the Minister for Economy: Border Controls
I thank the Minister for the statement. I know he shares my frustration about the way this has been handled, the seeming indecision of UK Government about these elements of border control and the implications of that, of course, for Welsh Government, for…

That's what the chief executive of Cancer Research UK said today, because I'm afraid we haven't seen that sense of urgency from the Welsh Government recently.

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change

Finally, I read with interest the proposal in England for these rent auctions to try to bring premises back into use on the high street. What do you make of the idea and is that something that could be, should be done in Wales?

And you financially incentivse that how?

Regenerating Town Centres: Evidence session
What would be, though, the one most effective financial incentive for businesses to get engaged with regenerating town centres?

Plaid Cymru Debate: Hydrogen strategy
