Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning, and the Chief Fire Adviser
I just wanted to come back very quickly to the remit of the reports in north and mid and west Wales. Have you been reassured, or are you looking for assurance, that those reviews will take evidence from former members of staff, people who have now left the…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Diolch. You've no doubt heard the concerns in the press and heard my colleague Delyth Jewell also raise concerns about water collecting in the void left by the Ffos-y-Fran opencast site. So, this isn't really about coal tip safety. The Welsh Government…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
How can we tell if something is a priority? Usually, there are clear objectives and targets designed to support that priority. This year alone, I've raised child poverty 20 times in Plenary, and I'll continue to do so, because, for Plaid Cymru, it is a…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. For five days this month, from 4 April until 9 April, the highest level of escalation was declared at Morriston Hospital—a so-called 'black alert'. Patients in accident and emergency were facing 15-hour waits. Swansea Bay University Health Board…

Short Debate: Saving lives and protecting our communities—The case for overdose prevention centres
Do you think that, therefore—? You've heard our arguments for the devolution of criminal justice for exactly this reason. Do you see, therefore, that the piecemeal approach, suggested by Gordon Brown and that seems to be adopted by Keir Starmer, won't address…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula
And let's be absolutely clear, these aren’t unavoidable by-products or side effects of a lack of sufficient resources. Rather, they are a damning indictment of the warped and unjust priorities of our political system, and the unfair, unbalanced union of which…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula
We have talked a lot about fairness today, and we've heard about how the deficiencies of the Barnett formula are a reflection of the lack of fairness that permeates our society and contributes to it. Of course, the consequences of this fundamental unfairness…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): National collections

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): National collections
I would like to conclude by talking about the importance of maintaining free access to our national museums. I attended a meeting last week with the main organisations and charities in Wales that fight for the interests of children and young people. They…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): National collections
Swansea's National Waterfront Museum, in the region I represent, was the first museum of sanctuary in the UK, and I have seen first-hand how the museum embeds the experience of those who are seeking sanctuary into their activities and ensures those voices are…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): National collections
Our archive is the future of our past. The crisis facing our national collections, under the care of Amgueddfa Cymru and the National Library of Wales, is therefore an existential crisis not only for the institutions themselves, but also for the future of our…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): National collections
A nation without a memory is a nation without a story, and a nation without a story is a nation without a future. That is the basic philosophical truth that underpins today's motion. Our national collections and archives tell that story, and they display and…

Debate: Final report of the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales
Because I'm sorry, Andrew R.T. Davies, but the constitution is not just for the anoraks, actually, it's for all of us. And there can be nothing more important for Government, for this Senedd, than listening to those we represent, to the voices of our citizens…
