The Building Safety (Description of Higher-Risk Building) (Design and Construction Phase) (Wales) Regulations 2023
Just on the point about hotels—and perhaps I should know the answer to this and I'd be grateful if she could clarify it for me—in the Vale of Glamorgan, various hotels have been repurposed for very good-intentioned reasons; do they fall under different…

Questions to the First Minister
You do have selective hearing, First Minister. I said that what the Member for the Rhondda said was about the implementation of the scheme. I didn't say it was about the policy. We disagree about the policy as Conservatives and Labour in this Chamber. I said…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful for that clarification. The other point I'd like to raise with you is on Government policy. Last week in question time, the Member of Parliament for the Rhondda and shadow Cabinet member in London called the implementation of the 20 mph speed…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. Last week, First Minister, I ask about the use of WhatsApp when it comes to communication within the Welsh Government. You indicated during that question time session that you did not have WhatsApp on your phone and you did not…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that answer, First Minister. Could I just clarify, then, that, up until the point of the establishment of the COVID inquiry, it is reasonable to think that some messages would have been deleted, and it was only when the COVID inquiry indicated…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that answer, First Minister. Obviously, you highlighted the information that you have; one of the areas that has been looked at is the deletion of messages on electronic devices—and there was instruction given by various Governments to make sure…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, we know from recent correspondence seen in other parts of the United Kingdom that various Governments have been required to hand over WhatsApp messages and other electronic messages that were used to convey…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Thank you, Minister, for that response. Obviously, in these early findings the chief inspector draws people’s attention to the fact that his inspectors in over two thirds of secondary schools found problems with grammar and punctuation. In your response to…

Thank you for that answer, Minister. Obviously, representing the region of South Wales Central, here in Cardiff Bay we most probably have the greatest density of buildings that are affected by the fire cladding issue. Can you give an indication of how many…

Questions to the First Minister
What troubles me about asking these questions today, First Minister, is that it was this time last year that you accused me of having the temerity to come to this Chamber and raise similar incidents relating to the ambulance service, of a gentleman in Merthyr…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I'm glad that you've identified the problem. I think we all understand what the problem is through the descriptions that have been given by various senior managers in the Welsh ambulance service. One of the most graphic examples was in the last month…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, on the weekend, the pressures that the ambulance service is facing here in Wales were amplified by three major events, and, in fact, the ambulance service called for an 'extraordinary incident' situation to be…

Well, that's what your leader in Westminster has said—that they're keeping it.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
I'm grateful to you for taking the intervention. On two counts from Labour contributions today we've heard about the bedroom tax. It's my understanding that Labour at a UK level are keeping the bedroom tax; isn't it your understanding as well? So, if it's…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. I've been approached by some constituents because, in the western part of the Vale, many patients are referred to the Princess of Wales Hospital where kidney dialysis, as I understand it at the moment, does not happen. It…

Questions to the First Minister
My question to you was simple, First Minister, and I noticed you looked at the health Minister to see if you could get confirmation. I don't dispute that the patients turning up at A&E—and I don't think the Royal College of Emergency Medicine disputes that…

Questions to the First Minister
The point I was making to you, First Minister, is that in England there is a journey that they are undertaking to hit, by 2025, 40 per cent of the population and, by 2030, 100 per cent of the population, and I would hope that the Welsh Government would sign…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I've highlighted the health service, I've highlighted the lack of building here in Wales. One thing that you and I have debated over this Chamber floor over many weeks is, obviously, the Government's policy on the 20 mph restrictions that have…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, in Wales, one in four people are on a waiting list, or 25 per cent of the population; in England it's 14 per cent. In England, there are just over 250 people waiting two years or more; in Wales, as I said, there are 28,000 people waiting. I…
