Statement by the First Minister: The Legislative Programme
Thank you, First Minister, for your statement this afternoon on the legislative programme. I say this on an annual basis: it always amazes me when we stand here to think back to the legislative competence Order days, where Members, if they wanted, or even if…

Questions to the First Minister
I asked you for two points. One: is there a plan on the table, and has that been put to the Tata board? You clearly have not indicated that a plan has been put to the Tata board. And two: will the investment that is identified, the £2.5 billion that you talk…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, you have accused me of being an arsonist; you have accused me of deliberately misleading. You are a First Minister who is standing there with a vote of no confidence around his neck. You are a First Minister who took £200,000 from a man with…

Questions to the First Minister
My question was relatively straightforward: has a plan been presented to the Tata board? Because we were told that you had an oven-ready plan to deliver once you assumed the office of UK Government Ministers and Secretaries of State being able to negotiate a…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, yesterday you hosted the new UK Prime Minister. He talked of the Tata plant—[Interruption.] I thought I'd get you a cheer, at least, once in this Chamber, First Minister. [Laughter.] You can thank me later. The…

Questions to the First Minister
It's interesting to note that you weren't on the campaign bus that went to Paul Davies's constituency the other day. I wonder why. Withyhedge, perhaps. But your condescending tone of talking to people about the cost-of-living crisis—. There has been a…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, he's not very proud of you, First Minister, because he can't even mention your record here in Wales. You've highlighted things that you believe are positive here in Wales; they are but mirages, at the end of the day, built on sand that will disappear at…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. As you were highlighting there, First Minister, there is something happening on Thursday—it's an election, and it'll offer the people of Wales the choice. But, what we have heard from the leader of the Labour Party is complete…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Minister, the Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008, which was brought in by a previous Government, for many learners, is one of the safe routes to school mechanisms that protect their journey to school and get them to their place of learning. The Welsh…

Questions to the First Minister
I understand the separation of powers, and that's important, vitally important in a democracy. But, as you highlighted, the legislation was passed by this Senedd to raise revenue for public services. We heard Ministers all the time saying that's what this…

Questions to the First Minister
I think most people would be troubled to not understand why the Government isn't driving this and putting a timeline on this investigation. That's not unreasonable here, because residents have had to put up with being physically sick because the stench is so…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, on Friday, Dispatches, a Channel 4 investigative programme, put a programme out that uncovered some deeply troubling aspects of the Withyhedge tipping site in west Wales. They had insider information given to them…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Chepstow bypass
Would the Member agree with me that it's vitally important that the incumbent Member of Parliament, David T.C. Davies, is returned after this election, so that Chepstow doesn't grind to a halt, after the rhetoric we've heard from the Labour side, and David…

Would the Member take an intervention?

Questions to the First Minister
You don't half talk a load of cobblers, First Minister. First Minister, a manifesto is about a pledge that the party puts before the people. A simple commitment that you could make via the manifesto would be to commit to the electrification of the north Wales…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
This is very off-putting, Deputy Presiding Officer. Thank you very much for reprimanding the Members. In all seriousness, First Minister, that is a project that economically could be transformational for north Wales, yet your manifesto is silent on that…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Clearly, you could not give a commitment about electrification of the north Wales line there. Your omission and your inability to do that was evident for all to see. In our manifesto, we have committed to electrify the north Wales line, we have committed to…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, I've looked at the national Labour manifesto—it keeps insomniacs awake, I might add—but it doesn't have any commitments in it to the electrification of the north Wales line. Why can you not find one single word…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Economic policy
I'm grateful to the Minister for taking an intervention. Can you name a western European country that hasn't suffered comparable inflation, comparable interest rates or worse unemployment than the United Kingdom? If you can't, then, obviously, that indicates…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Economic policy
Will you take an intervention?
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
On the example you gave, I believe Standing Orders indicate that if you're out of the country you can't vote anyway, you can't, then, so you couldn't have voted in that vote anyway, so that's a very poor example to use. But it is a fact that there were three…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, last week you went from this Chamber and gave an interview. You questioned me in that interview—the time that I took off for my illness. I was told at one point in that illness to put my affairs in order, First Minister. Your deputy also…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. Last week, First Minister, there was a vote on the floor of the Senedd. Various colleagues of yours and, indeed, your good self, have called it a 'gimmick', a 'stunt' and an 'odd question to ask'. But the expression of the Senedd…

Plaid Cymru Debate: HS2 funding
I'm very grateful. The metro is co-funded with the UK Government. Will you acknowledge that point? Because it's via the city deal, and I think it's nearly 50 per cent of the money that comes from the UK Government.
