Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
Thank you for taking an intervention. Isn't it a fact that where we have devolution on all the powers with this Welsh Government here now—health, education, transport, infrastructure; I could go on, Rhun—if you have a look at how we have gone backwards in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
Where I would agree with you is that Welsh Government are not particularly driven to do anything as regards this, but there we go. [Interruption.] A milestone moment was achieved for the Welsh offshore wind sector, through the signing of an agreement for…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
Well, let's be honest, the Welsh Government don't really—. If you think about it, you quite often—. Here, we hear so much against the UK Government, we even hear things against the Crown. So, for me, why is it that you think because it's working in Scotland…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: Mabon ap Gwynfor (Dwyfor Meirionnydd)—Rent control
This legislation will be the final straw, and will see the very people that you think you are trying to help worse off. I would ask all Members to support tenants themselves, landlords, and to ensure that our housing stock doesn't deteriorate further, and…

I refer Members to my own declaration of interests, and indeed will be declaring an interest on this debate. I will also be voting very firmly against this legislative proposal, and it doesn't take away the fact that I know the work that you've put into this…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
That's good to hear. You'll be aware that the UK Ministry of Justice is presently undertaking the largest recruitment effort in its 650-year history to find 4,000 new lay magistrates. This step has been taken to combat the fact that the number of magistrates…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Energy Price Cap
Diolch. Thank you, Minister, for your statement today. Frankly, I have to be honest, when I first read it, I thought I'd picked up the wrong document, because it read rather more like a party political broadcast by the Welsh Labour Party. We have devolution…

I'm on question 2. Sorry. I wasn't sure whether I had two, but I have. Right. I know NRW have told us that 32 sites—now, this is about identifying discharges—have been rectified, and 37 are to be worked on in the current period of water company investment…
