Review of the Agricultural Pollution Regulations
Just regarding the response you gave, you went into detail on TB farms affected by bovine TB, but with regard to tenant farmers, if they are in dispute with their landlord, they could find themselves in a court battle that would prevent them from meeting…

Review of the Agricultural Pollution Regulations
So, you categorically dispute that £35 million figure. With regard to smaller farms that might be struggling, and some of the unintended consequences were discussed earlier, is there flexibility for a farm with, say, 70 cattle, to liaise with NRW to…

Review of the Agricultural Pollution Regulations
Thank you. The National Farmers Union has given us evidence that in Northern Ireland they introduced a whole territory zone around 10 years ago and the level of funding support was between £140 million and £150 million. That would be estimated today to be…

Business Statement and Announcement
I'd like the Welsh Government to make a statement in the Chamber on the operational agreement of Rent Smart Wales. I've been dealing with them on matters of constituency casework, and I've found it to be a very frustrating experience. As an organisation…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: Conversion Therapy
I want to thank the Deputy Minister both for being an individual champion as a Member of the Senedd, but also in her role as Deputy Minister. The work that she's doing is exceptional, and, certainly, I want to put my name to it, and say, 'You represent me in…

Questions to the First Minister
It really is very, very disappointing to see Plaid Cymru using First Minister's questions for their local election campaign. It's beneath the dignity of this Chamber to do that. Peredur Owen Griffiths is there reading out a question that was clearly written…

There was one statement that was made yesterday by the Minister in his oral statement to the Chamber. He said: 'The Under-Secretary of State for Wales, David T.C. Davies, told the House of Commons Welsh Affairs Committee that ''if the Welsh Labour Government…

Can I just take the opportunity to congratulate Mark Isherwood on that, because it's an issue very close to my heart? The week before last marked British Science Week 2022, which is a 10-day celebration of STEM, science, technology, engineering and maths…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
My question was going to be very similar to Russell George's, so I'll adjust it slightly to say that I've had the same kind of representations. One constituent particularly has asked for exams not to take place this year. Now, that's not a view that I…

UK-Australia Free Trade Agreement

Moving on to negotiations and governance and the relationship with the UK, various committees and joint-working groups have been established to support the implementation of the FTA. Has the Welsh Government made representation about being party to those…

Okay. I think there are questions to be asked about the capacity of Business Wales to do this and, post pandemic, are they fully staffed and prepared for what may be a continuing high demand?

Can I just flip that on its head? If I've got a business in my constituency and it wants to access some of this support and guidance, what would be the route? Would that be Business Wales for that gateway in? Because there seems to be a lot of—.
