Questions to the First Minister
Finally, First Minister, this will be the last time that I rise to ask my third question of you as First Minister. We've had some interesting exchanges, some colourful exchanges and some passionate exchanges, but those exchanges, hopefully from both sides…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that very full answer, First Minister. I look forward to, hopefully, a statement coming from the education Minister about these proposals that you alluded to there and the money behind those proposals, because I'm sure that many will want to…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. It's a pleasure to address you, First Minister, in this, your last First Minister's questions as First Minister. For our viewers' benefit, who are watching us at home, we will have an opportunity in a later statement this…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: UK Government budget
The latest figures from the G7 show that the UK economy is the fastest growing economy over the period. The only economies in the G7 to have beaten it are America and Canada.

Questions to the First Minister
We were constantly told that the Welsh Government was led by the science. As opposition Members, we are being led by the evidence when it comes to trying to understand how Welsh Government, how special advisers, how the civil servants and other decision…

Questions to the First Minister
No-one's asking you to pre-empt the questions, when the line of questioning is put to you, First Minister, and the line of questioning that the journalist put was very broad; it was about the relationship that you as a Welsh Government had with the UK…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, last week, I challenged you on various comments and evidence that had been made to the COVID inquiry. You wouldn't answer those questions, and I accept the point that you made, that you had due respect and regard…

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister stands down in two weeks' time. I have tried to seek answers on information that is in the public domain. I can't get that here in the Welsh Parliament. That is a damning indictment of Welsh democracy, I would say. I'll ask you another…

Questions to the First Minister
Can I seek your support, Presiding Officer? Surely Parliament deserves greater respect than that.
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I would seek direction from the Presiding Officer, because this is the Welsh Parliament. This evidence is publicly available. I am sent here by the people who voted for me, like other Members, to seek answers on behalf of the people of Wales from the…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. Last week, First Minister, we heard from the COVID inquiry that you do use WhatsApp regularly. On 7 November, when I questioned you on this particular issue, you said that you didn't use it, and then you clarified on 8 November…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Sustainable Farming Scheme
I do welcome the opportunity to speak in the debate today. And actually, listening to the contributions, there does seem to be a consensus to want to find a way through this, and I do commend the Minister, in fairness. That might sound odd coming from these…

Questions to the First Minister
Gladly. Can you confirm to me, First Minister, from the meeting that you held yesterday and the meeting that I and other Members of this Parliament had with those farmers from west Wales, that there will continue to be that positive engagement to reshape the…

Can you confirm, First Minister, that the Government—

Questions to the First Minister
We're talking about lowering the heat, but the Member for Blaenau Gwent last week, on Sunday, called farmers in a picture 'cranks'. That is not the language that surely should be used on Twitter.
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I agree entirely with you, First Minister, that the heat needs to be taken out of the discussion at the moment, but it is a fact that the comment that you said last week—not up to farmers to decide how subsidies are spent—that was really trying to push…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that answer, First Minister. Last week, in relation to the challenges that obviously the sustainable farming scheme is inflicting on the farming community and the comments that you have put to that challenge, you have highlighted how farmers…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, thank you for your letter this morning in relation to my request that you look into the donations that the economy Minister has received—£200,000. Some political parties in Wales don't run their entire operation…

Questions to the First Minister
When you look at the figures that I've put to you, First Minister, and in particular those critical job losses and economic output losses, it is difficult for any reasonable person to come to the conclusion that the SFS, as currently constructed, will deliver…

Questions to the First Minister
I agree with you that the public are entitled, and that's why I used those important figures of the return for the investment that the taxpayer makes. But you did go on in that press conference to say that your understanding was, 'Just do whatever farmers…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer, and I draw Members' attention to my declaration of interests on the register. First Minister, yesterday, in your press conference, you alluded to the fact that, on the sustainable farming scheme, farmers just want to be able to…

Short Debate: Faster access to hearing services in Wales
I'm pleased to hear that you have a plan, and that there will be ructions if it's not delivered on. What's the timeline that you're going to give, though, for that plan to be tried and tested, to see if it's delivered? Because that's fair to say, if the…
