Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Diolch. Turning now to the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine, which has cost thousands of lives, this conflict is exacerbating, as you know, an already very serious refugee crisis in the region. There are 1.5 million internally displaced people in…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Diolch, Llywydd. Prynhawn da, Weinidog. As we have seen in the figures released today, inflation is falling, but that does not mean that most goods and services are cheaper to buy, rather that prices are rising less quickly, and the Resolution Foundation has…

Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Delivering a Fairer Council Tax
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Council tax is currently unfair and desperately does need reform. I think this is an historic first step on the road to a more progressive system, and it should produce clear benefits for those most vulnerable households in Wales. As…

Short Debate: Can carers afford to care?
'I cannot afford to live. Sometimes I feel it would be less stressful if I wasn't here, but then I think, what would my adult child do?' These are the words of an unpaid carer. Words included in a new report by Carers Wales, a report that has identified that…

Short Debate: Can carers afford to care?
Diolch, Llywydd. This debate will ask can carers afford to care, and it will focus on how the cost-of-living crisis is disproportionately impacting unpaid carers in Wales and eroding their rights. My aim is to highlight the scale and impact of this issue and…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip: Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Annual Report 2022-23
