Thank you, Minister, for the responses you've already given. I too was rather surprised when I read through the document setting out the route out of special measures for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. It did appear to me, and those constituents…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Fly-tipping, Cabinet Secretary, is a blight on our communities across Wales and, unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly common in Labour-run Denbighshire, which has just rolled out an absolutely shambolic new recycling system. It's resulting in waste going…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
I’m sorry, Cabinet Secretary, but I don’t accept that your answer is a very good one, I’m afraid. I’m the shadow spokesperson for the constitution on the official opposition benches here, and you’ve had no discussions with me whatsoever since your appointment…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
Cabinet Secretary, I think a lot of people are wondering why on earth this commission hasn’t been wrapped up yet. It produced a lengthy report back in January—its final report. It was obviously one that was discussed and debated then in this Senedd Chamber…

Will you take an intervention, Minister? I apologise for asking so many—

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
Will you take a brief intervention? I'm very grateful. You say that the Welsh Government is delivering on the agreement in the Senedd reform committee's report that was endorsed by this Senedd, but, of course, it wasn't endorsed by this Senedd. This system…

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
I'm grateful to you for taking the intervention. It was not meant as a slight against anybody. I agree with you that there are barriers to women getting into politics, and other under-represented groups, unfortunately, and we need to remove the barriers for…

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
I'd certainly support considering that approach. Look, I don't believe that we should have quotas at all, but if we're going to have them, let's try and make sure that we incorporate as many aspects of diversity into those quotas as possible. It's the…

Of course. Very happy to.

& 8. The general principles of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of The Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
It will come as no surprise to anybody in this Chamber that the Welsh Conservatives will not be supporting the progress of this particular Bill, and that is not because we do not support the aim, which is to make sure that this Senedd is more representative…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport: Transport update
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your statement. Just a few things from me. One of the other challenges that we often get contacted about is noise nuisance from the trunk road network, particularly the A55, obviously, with traffic speeds there being up to 70…

Business Statement and Announcement
The health Minister, or Cabinet Secretary rather, published a new special measures framework for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in recent days, including the de-escalation criteria that she now expects the health board to meet before the organisation…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, there's an inconsistency, isn't there, between a Labour Party that had a clear manifesto commitment to deliver some change at a UK Government level in order to prevent any future Prime Minister being the judge, jury and executioner when it…

Business Statement and Announcement
Can I call for a statement, Trefnydd, on speeding on the trunk road network? There's an issue in my own constituency in relation to the A494 trunk road going through the village of Llanferres in Denbighshire. Residents there have been calling for a speed…

Diolch, Llywydd, and thank you, Trefnydd. Can I call for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for the armed forces? We all marked, of course, Armed Forces Day across the UK, over the weekend, and many of us took a keen interest in…

First Minister, you'll be aware that Glan Clwyd Hospital unfortunately has one of the worst-performing emergency departments in the whole of the United Kingdom, with one in four people at the moment waiting more than 12 hours in accident and emergency…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, one of the things that isn't helping the environment in north Wales is the appalling situation faced by people in Denbighshire. As you will be aware, the Labour-led Denbighshire County Council has overseen an utterly shambolic roll-out of a…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, can we have an update on the blue badge scheme across Wales? We know that new guidance has been issued to local authorities, but this doesn't seem to be resolving the many problems that people in my constituency are having when reapplying for their…
