Motion of condolence and tributes to Her Majesty The Queen
I'd like to express my own gratitude and admiration for the late Queen. I suspect we'll all remember here the first time that we met or saw the Queen for the very first time. It was 11 July 1986, as a 12-year-old, when it was my first time to see the Queen in…

Economic strategy for coastal and rural communities
Thank you, Chair. Thank you, First Minister. I actually have quite a bit of sympathy with your points around the previous model not being very effective in terms of bringing forward projects to the National Grid and Ofgem. I think a more strategic approach is…

Is it your intention, then, that there would be a list or criteria that local authorities have to adhere to, if that funding is ring-fenced?
, Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister
Economic strategy for coastal and rural communities
Thank you, First Minister. As I understand it, and you'll correct me if I'm wrong, for our local authorities that decide to take up a tourism or visitor tax, the money raised will be ring-fenced for tourism spend. But that can be obviously quite wide. Is the…

Economic strategy for coastal and rural communities
Thank you, First Minister. I suppose what's behind my question is that you set out the reason why you think that the industry should be supportive, given examples elsewhere in Europe and the world, but I suppose I'm trying to understand why, then, the…

Economic strategy for coastal and rural communities
Thank you, First Minister. You mentioned in your answer that you've engaged with the industry. You set out some areas as well that talk about the visitor tax in a positive way, and you mentioned that it's not a new idea. There's huge opposition, particularly…

Economic strategy for coastal and rural communities
Good afternoon, Chair. Good afternoon, First Minister. The industry tell me that one in seven people in Wales rely on the tourism industry. If I can ask some questions around the tourism levy, or tourism tax, in making the decision to pursue the introduction…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events
And, last of all, the Dolfor show, in which I will be taking part in a food competition this year. When I attend the shows, I won't be just in the beer tents; I will be out meeting my constituents.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events
Will the Member for Brecon and Radnorshire accept that Brecon and Radnor don't hold the monopoly on shows, of course, and that, in Montgomeryshire, there are also great shows that are taking place as well? There's the large Llanfyllin show, there's the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hepatitis C
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I thank Rhun ap Iorwerth and Mark Isherwood for their contributions? I can't disagree with anything that they added to the debate this afternoon. I thank the Minister for her update—much I can, of course, welcome and…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hepatitis C
Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm pleased to lead this first debate of two this afternoon. Our first debate this afternoon is on hepatitis C. I thought it would be useful just to set out some background, perhaps, for Members who might be less informed on…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
—what you've just said. I do appreciate what you've just said, and you're willingness to look at the way you measure those figures, because perhaps it would be the correct piece of work for the Government to undertake, to make that comparison. Because what…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Well, no, the fact is that in Wales we have 68,000 people waiting for over two years, and in England it's 12,700. That's what the figures say. Now, I do appreciate—

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
I appreciate, Minister, your personal commitment, and I appreciate you've only been in post for 12 months, and I appreciate you've been dealt a poor hand. But can I ask you for your assessment of why the Welsh Government is looking at this much worse position…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thanks for the answer, Minister, and whilst, of course, it's good news that that waiting time for a one-month period is coming down, but the long-term sustained trajectory is in the wrong direction of course. So, if we look back at 12 months ago, the figure…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Deputy Llywydd. Minister, like you, I was listening to the exchange between the leader of the opposition and the First Minister yesterday in regard to waiting times and that's a line of questioning I want to continue today. Can you confirm that the…

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Minister, I had quite a lot of sympathy for the trials that were undertaken, but you mentioned the cost as well, and then justifying the cost. But I had a letter this morning from the Royal College of Nursing that was entitled 'How much is your and your loved…

Questions to the First Minister
Minister, I've reviewed your answer to the questions that Joel James asked you back in May, and I don't ask my question to debate whether glass bottles should be or not be included in the scheme; the reality is that the four nations of the UK are now likely…

Motion to annul the Non-Domestic Rating (Amendment of Definition of Domestic Property) (Wales) Order 2022
Thank you. The Minister talks about exemptions being in place, but doesn't this just confirm that this whole policy in the first place is back to front, and this is the wrong policy, an unfair policy, because the exemptions should have been considered at a…
