Legislative Consent Motion: Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
Thank you for asking me to speak on this really important legislative consent motion this afternoon in relation to the UK Labour Government's steel nationalisation Bill. As a Labour member, as a trade unionist, support for our steel workers is very much in my…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution
If the Government's effectiveness is itself constantly being reviewed and reset, does that suggest that the current measures aren't actually working? How many more reviews will be required before Ministers can demonstrate sustained improvement? In short, how…

Valedictory evidence session with Adrian Crompton, Auditor General for Wales
You've given me so much—I've got so many questions, but I get one, so I'll try and stick to the one. I will do my best. You've talked about the COVID-19 pandemic, and you have also talked about austerity and how we've arrived here. But you very clearly also…

Yes, as the former general secretary of TUC Cymru and member of Unite the Union and GMB, I just want to declare an interest. Of course, the last committee did hear from steelworkers directly, and they did raise concerns then about the possibility that things…

Reform UK Debate: The tourism sector
The fact of the matter is it's not something that we're going to agree on. So, let me just finish off. First, on keeping the 182-day occupancy threshold for self-catering businesses under review, we absolutely support keeping this policy under review to…

Reform UK Debate: The tourism sector
I think we can all agree that Wales is very much a world-class destination for tourism. That moment when you see someone posing for a photograph outside a castle or looking around at many of our museums or enjoying our national park—that is a special moment…

90-second Statements
Tomorrow afternoon, we will see the long-awaited unveiling of the Rhodri Morgan statue outside the Senedd, and I hope that everyone will join us to come and see. Ultimately, who was Rhodri? Rhodri was a socialist, and more than anything else, he just loved…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
I very much welcome the fact that Wales was obviously the first UK nation to publish the 10-year strategy to prevent child sexual abuse under the previous Labour Government. And we know, of course, that when it comes to this harm in particular, it's not just…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
Yes. I promise you, I am getting there. Despite all of this, of course, the health board says that they have had clear instruction. As the equality Minister, will you now give us clear instruction that you expect the health board to finally end this dispute…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
I'd like to bring the Cabinet Minister's attention to an issue that I know that she is very much familiar with—and sadly, we are still waiting on clarity on this issue—and that is the issue of pay for health visitors in Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy: New Development Agency for Wales
Diolch, Deputy Llywydd. I was going to say 'Llywydd' there, but Deputy Llywydd, of course. I think, from our perspective, we clearly do share your ambition for a new type of Wales, a reinvigorated Wales, a Wales that attracts more investment and ultimately…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Health and care winter 2026-27 preparedness
Cabinet Minister, it's great to hear you use the words 'safety', 'resilience', 'robust planning' and so much more. As someone who spent many a winter in and out of hospital because of respiratory problems, I have seen first-hand what the state of Heath…

Short Debate: Life expectancy inequalities in Cardiff’s southern arc
So, you've heard all the stats, and we can talk about the socioeconomic issues, but what we have to really address is what that future looks like for people in Wales. I think that the fact that Cardiff Council took the decision to prioritise the southern arc…

Questions to the Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport
We all know the power of sport, and we've been talking about how it can bring communities together, break down lots of barriers and so forth. We also know how we have lots of benefits from it, including physical and mental health, and so much more, but I…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution: Priorities for Government Effectiveness and Constitution
First of all, the COVID inquiry, as I understand it, did wrap up and did actually produce a whole heap of recommendations for Wales, as it did for other nations. And, of course, Plaid Cymru did promise the COVID bereaved families an inquiry. But getting back…

We all think of lots of different cafes and bars and restaurants, and lots of local shops that we all often frequent. La Mina on Albany Road is one of my personal favourites, of course. And we always think that they're going to always be there, but in…
