Thank you very much, Chair. I'd like to echo Luke Fletcher's thanks and praise to the legal team and the clerking team for their hand-holding through this process. I am most grateful for that. Speaking to amendment 1, it has been tabled in order to remove any…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
I'm grateful to the Member for intervening. I can imagine that the autumn budget released extra, additional funding for both education and the health service, by the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, last October. But we are here to debate health services here in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
As colleagues have highlighted, Llywydd, the issue of good, reliable and safe access to healthcare remains one of the defining topics of correspondence in my inbox from constituents of Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire. So, with the immense privilege…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
I'm not going to sit down, as the Deputy Minister suggested. I'm not going to sit down because I need to contribute on behalf of my constituents in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
This isn't a debate, much like Russell George and Sam Rowlands, that I take great pleasure in speaking in, and it’s one that I have wrestled with internally throughout the day. [Interruption.]

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Minister, ensuring that RDP spending is effectively allocated and delivered is key to ensuring that it delivers value for money, while supporting the development of rural communities. In the most recent Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee meeting, you…

Questions to the First Minister
Prif Weinidog, Welsh NHS waiting lists continue to dominate my inbox. One of my constituents living with osteoporosis and five broken vertebrae has had to wait two years to be seen by a pain specialist. We are still awaiting the final decision on the location…

Yes, 2021, forgive me.

That will be great, if it is. I know we all took some excellent evidence in terms of compiling the 'Raising the Bar' report. And, then, in terms of the refresh of the manufacturing action plan that the Welsh Government has been undertaking, I'm just wondering…

General Ministerial Scrutiny - Minister for Economy
That's helpful. Thank you, Minister. Just moving away slightly to our committee report 'Raising the Bar' and its focus on the retail sector, I was just wondering if those recommendations have influenced or shaped the development of your plan around the retail…

That's helpful. Thank you. I want to stick on floating offshore wind as well, specifically, if I may, knowing the RWE event that you went to this morning. I'm just wanting to know what economic assessments have been done in terms of the supply chain of…

I've only got the one question on free-port bids: just when is a decision due to be announced?

General Ministerial Scrutiny - Minister for Economy
Is it a fair assessment to say that the relationship with UK Government now, specifically your department with yourself as Minister, is better than it has been for a considerable period, or is it that it has evolved in a different way, knowing that civil…

General Ministerial Scrutiny - Minister for Economy
That was going to be my second question. My leading question was on your assessment on the investment zones announcement, and it's focused specifically—you said it—around universities and the research element of that. And not to prejudge anything that may…
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
General Ministerial Scrutiny - Minister for Economy
No. I ask because the cross-party group that I lead on rural growth is looking at an inquiry specifically around the rural economy, so it'd be interesting to pick that up with you later on in the year when we've taken further evidence on that in the CPG. But…

Thank you, Chair. Excuse me. Just quickly, sticking on regional development, I'm just wanting your assessment, Minister, on the rural economy, its importance and policies specifically tailored to boosting the rural economy given that there is an urban/rural…

So, will you be looking to extend—or looking to make representations specifically to support the vet industry and profession in Wales?

No, of course.
