Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
Anyone who makes those comments should never be near a political party or take those donations. I agree with the point that you just made. But we are debating here an issue about an individual, because as I said in my speech in the previous debate, this money…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Cap on political donations
I welcome the opportunity to contribute to another debate on an issue that has captured many people’s imaginations outside of this place as well as much Plenary time and debating time as well. I’ll put on record for the second time this afternoon my…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
I'm grateful to the leader of the house. This portfolio responsibility sits firmly with the First Minister. He has chosen not to turn up today to this debate to respond to the points that have been put to him. Much of the information that you recited in your…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
Oh. Oh, right. That is disappointing, that is. Okay, the First Minister hasn't come to a debate about, obviously, the conduct related to the ministerial code, which, on the statement of ministerial responsibilities, he is responsible for the ministerial code…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Leadership campaign donations and the ministerial code
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Do we need to wait for the First Minister to come, because, obviously, the debate is on the First Minister? Or is there another Minister responding?

Questions to the First Minister
It's wonderful to hear you're having an internal review in the Labour Party to look into all this. It does remind me of the Communist Party era when they used to have the politburo slapping themselves on the back and saying, 'We've done a great job, we'll…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, we also heard in questions this afternoon from the Member for Newport East how valuable the Gwent levels are. But we know that the individual who made the donation to you has been the subject of court action and been convicted on two accounts of dumping…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. The question that started this session of question time from Julie Morgan indicated that a taxi firm obviously had broken the discrimination rules against disabled people. I believe the owner of that taxi firm contributed to your…

Short Debate: Primary care and the preventative agenda
I agree wholeheartedly about that community intervention, community pharmacy, optometry et cetera, but the issue is the commissioning of those services differs from health board to health board, especially Cardiff and Vale, for example, as opposed to Swansea…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Education
I’m really grateful for that, Buffy. You’ve just become chairman of the education committee. One of the biggest problems in the hangover from the COVID pandemic is absenteeism in schools. In some deprived communities, as much as 40 per cent of children aren’t…

Questions to the First Minister
This is having a real corrosive effect on the Government, as the silence of your own benches is showing here before everyone today. There cannot be any question that that reasonable person that you and I are referring to would draw the conclusion that the…

Questions to the First Minister
Obviously, that's an internal investigation, First Minister. I think most people objectively looking at this would agree with the economy Minister's assertion on The Politics Show that he wouldn't have taken a donation from a company that has numerous…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, why is the economy Minister's judgment on accepting political donations more principled than yours?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Transport
I welcome the Conservative back to the Government, and that's very pleasing to see. But could I just check with the Minister, as he talks about this conversation that he and the Government are having around 20 mph, what is the backstop for that conversation…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering Wales's priorities
First Minister, I wish you and your Government well in your endeavours, because you have a mandate and the people of Wales look to the Government to obviously deliver on that mandate, and, if it works, it improves people’s lives the length and breadth of…

Questions to the First Minister
In Welsh political terms, that is a huge donation that you received during your leadership campaign. You weren't successful in securing more than just a third of the Labour group here in the bay to back your leadership bid, but you were successful in making…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful to you for confirming that you received a donation of exactly £200,000. Was all that money spent during the campaign, or was money handed over to the Labour Party at the end of the campaign so that, obviously, that money can be used within the…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer, and can I also congratulate you, First Minister, on assuming the role of First Minister here in Wales? It's the first time you and I have been across the Chamber in our respective roles. The first time I met you wasn't quite as…
