Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for that initial response. As you say, the support for the heritage rail sector is welcome, because, of course, across the United Kingdom, the heritage railways are worth around £0.5 billion to the economy. You'll be aware of some…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Update on Special Measures at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you, Minister, for the statement this afternoon. You were right, I think, to highlight some of the concerns and that you're having a focus around mental health in particular, and orthopaedic services as well. I…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister, for your response, and of course when the people of Wales voted for Brexit, one of the things that we gained was control over that environmental governance, and as you've outlined today, I welcome that coming though in this Senedd…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
I'm here to represent Wales, and I'm sure you would passionately agree about that as well, Mabon, and, of course, unfortunately, you weren't here for the whole debate to hear the full context of what was discussed this evening, which is a shame. Everything we…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Well, thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you to everybody who's spoken in this debate this evening. Of course, my role here is to do my best to try and wrap up and conclude somehow—a summary conclusion—what has been a passionately debated proposal…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you to Siân Gwenllian for again raising the issues that many in our rural communities face at this time. Of course, Welsh Government do have a number of levers that they could be pulling to support people in our rural communities at the moment, and one…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: 20 mph default speed limit on restricted roads

Diversity in Local Government - Evidence from the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Just a final point, if I may, Chair. One of the ways in which, as has already been mentioned, diversity could continue to be supported is through the use of hybrid meetings. I've expressed my concerns in the past about a number of councils going to online…

Diversity in Local Government - Evidence from the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thanks, Chair. Just building on the job-sharing considerations, I know some organisations have called for candidates to be able to job share. I do wonder at what point, then, job sharing becomes a job share and becomes a job share. But there we are. I was…

Diversity in Local Government - Evidence from the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Do you think part of the challenge of that is what may be seen by some as more watered-down accountability and responsibility?
, Local Government and Housing Committee
Diversity in Local Government - Evidence from the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thanks, Chair. Just a point on the opportunities around job sharing, and we've heard evidence and people always seem quite excited about this. But then it strikes me, on the other hand, of the 190 cabinet roles in Wales, I believe perhaps only three are using…
, Local Government and Housing Committee
Diversity in Local Government - Evidence from the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Just a quick point, and you started to touch on it, Minister, about the role of group leaders and their responsibility to ensure that the culture is appropriate within their groups. Obviously, the Act has only been relevant on that part perhaps more formally…

Diversity in Local Government - Evidence from the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Sorry to cut across, Luke. Are there any plans to consider the number of people with those protected characteristics who choose not to stand for election again, versus those without those protected characteristics? Because, obviously, we're seeing at the…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd

Business Statement and Announcement
Minister, I'd like to request a statement from the Minister for Economy outlining the decision-making process for grants from the Welsh Government community facilities programme. I'm asking this in light of the Welsh Government's decision to deny Llandudno…
, Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister
North Wales
Thanks, Chairman. Just on the back of Llyr’s question around the growth deal, obviously, as you’ve alluded to, there is a difference between the deal itself versus Ambition North Wales, the growth deal itself being a programme of funding for Ambition North…

I'm aware of time. Perhaps things are leading themselves on to the next part of the agenda, so I'm happy to pause there.
, Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister

Thanks, Chairman. I'm just sticking to this theme around transport. As you recognised in your responses so far, the vast majority of people in north Wales in particular are using their cars to get around, and with understandable reason—our geography and…
