Statement by the First Minister: Raising Wales’s International Profile—An update on the Welsh Government’s international relations activity
Thank you, First Minister, for your statement this afternoon. Obviously, being internationally looking and outward looking is an important part of any modern, dynamic country and we commend efforts to make sure that Wales is at the forefront of those…

Questions to the First Minister
I can't believe that on the floor of the Welsh Parliament we cannot get—[Interruption.] The Member for Ogmore is going, 'Work it out, Andrew', and this is the Member who stands up time and time again and talks of disrespect from Westminster to the Welsh…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I didn't ask you to comment or offer running commentary on the inquiry. I asked you about a specific Welsh Government decision that was taken by you as First Minister, and by a Minister who is sitting in the Cabinet, when he was health…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, today is the first day of the UK COVID inquiry. I had very much hoped that I would be able to say that today is the first day for the Welsh independent COVID inquiry, but clearly, that's not going to happen on…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Minister, as if with perfect timing, the Chair has just come in from the culture, sport and Welsh language committee, as they've just issued a report on the ability of schools to, obviously, offer the Welsh education that allows the language to flourish in…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, in fairness, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine and the consultants who are members of that organisation are experts in their field. They point to the ability to have additional beds reinstated within the health service as being one part of the…

Questions to the First Minister
It is critical that that dispute is resolved, and I've heard you say time and time again, First Minister, that, through negotiation, that resolution will come. So, I would urge and commend in the same breath that you get around the table to resolve this…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer, and with your permission, could I identify myself, my group and my party with the comments of yours and the First Minister in the sad news about Lord Morris's death announced last night? My first memory of John Morris was when he…

Business Statement and Announcement
Business Minister, could we have a statement in relation to chalet ownership in Wales? I met some owners of chalets last Thursday, and they were giving the impression and the real effects of the council tax changes that have happened. It was my understanding…

Questions to the First Minister
I fully appreciate that you are competing for resources with other parts of the NHS in other parts of the United Kingdom. I genuinely don’t believe that the Minister or anyone in this Chamber wants to see people wait two years or more. But the 32,000 people…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm pleased, in one breath, to hear that, but mindful, obviously, that the original target for eliminating two-year waits within Wales was March of this year. It is important that we understand if this is a real target that the Welsh Government is aiming for…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, will the Welsh Government commit to eliminating two-year waits within the Welsh NHS by the end of the year?

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Minister, we know, through education, you can empower people to get on in life and, in particular, reach themselves out of the depths of poverty. You will have heard me challenging the First Minister last week around additional learning needs numbers here in…

Motion under Standing Order 16.5 to establish a Senedd Committee
I accept the point you make, but I reiterate the points that I made in my remarks that, as I understand it, there was a discussion with the Plaid Cymru group. I know I had a discussion with the leader of Plaid Cymru; I appreciate an informal discussion that…

Motion under Standing Order 16.5 to establish a Senedd Committee
Thank you very much, Llywydd. I want to put on record that it is our clear intention that we continue to support the creation of an independent COVID inquiry here in Wales. That's something that I've always said and my benches have always voted for here in…

Questions to the First Minister
You accuse me of jumping the gun, First Minister. Back in February, when the health Minister offered the ultimatum to the independent board members, it was proven that the Welsh Government were, a month prior to that, seeking out replacement independent board…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, this is a health board that is in special measures and run by the Welsh Government. This is a report that was raised with you last week, and, in fairness, it was a legitimate line of defence that you hadn't familiarised yourself with that…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Presiding Officer. And with your permission, could I wish the leader of Plaid Cymru all the best now he's stepped down from the leadership of that party? I would like to thank him for the courtesies he's extended to me during our time as being…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
I'm grateful, Minister. We disagree on the visitor levy, and that's fair enough; that's political debate, that is. But there are concerns from the tourism sector that, on the introduction of this, actually this levy might not be used for specific tourism…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
I refer Members to my declaration of interest. Minister, one of the key things that does need to be invested in here in Wales is the processing sector, so that the produce that our primary producers—i.e. our farmers—produce can have as much value added to it…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you, Minister. I appreciate that local authorities are autonomous organisations, but in my own region, the Vale of Glamorgan, for example, it has only held one hybrid meeting. All meetings otherwise are undertaken on Zoom or Teams, or whatever other…
