Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Contaminated land
Thanks, Niamh, for bringing this debate forward. This subject of contaminated land and pollution in our water supply is unfortunately a frequent topic in this Senedd Chamber and has been over the past number of years. Now, we have a new Plaid Cymru…

Topical Questions
Minister, UK average petrol is now averaging around 173.5p per litre. In real terms now, I've seen it over £2 per litre—diesel that is—and north Wales is paying above the UK average. In terms of energy production, we have the Gwynt y Môr windfarm right off…

Business, industry, are worried about the regional side of things. Have you looked at how effective the regional partnership boards are? Has anyone actually valued those? Because I remember life before them, and here, now—they're in the here and now. No-one…

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Just a quick one. I think, really, if you look at Ynys Môn, that's a really good example. We've got these grid capacity issues, and we've been talking about them here, I think, for about the last 10 years. But we're going ahead now with Wylfa, which was a UK…

Thanks. Could we have a paper on Orkestra? Just an information paper. That would be—.

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
It's very complex.
30 September 2026 , Economy, Energy and Connectivity Committee
General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Thank you. And they made it very clear that some of the barriers are things like regional partnership boards, corporate joint committees, and that for too long now Welsh Government's been working in silos. They want to see a more joined-up approach, so I hope…

Mine's further down, really. I'll just throw this in first. So, I was on the same table as Shav. We had a really good round-table session last week with people from all sorts of backgrounds in terms of industry, energy—you name it, they were all here. And the…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women's Health: Improving Family-centred Neonatal Care in Wales: Progress Towards the Bliss Baby Charter
The model is about no two births are the same. We need this individualised care process. And bear in mind that, sometimes, it isn't mum and baby, it can be a mum and twins or triplets. So, all I would ask you, Deputy Minister, is if you will commit to…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women's Health: Improving Family-centred Neonatal Care in Wales: Progress Towards the Bliss Baby Charter
I will declare an interest, as my family and I have been affected deeply by this very issue over the past seven days, and continue to be so. I'm sure Members would also agree with me how tragic it is that North Wales Police have been in touch with us as…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. The latest YouGov polling, conducted between 7 and 13 September this year, found that just 20 per cent of people in Wales support Welsh independence—the lowest recorded level since 2023. Meanwhile, 72 per cent of people in Wales reported…

Questions to the First Minister
It's an excellent question, Carmelo. First Minister, the latest dedicated national data on construction and demolition waste is from 2019. It estimates that the sector generated 3.43 million tonnes of waste, of which 45 per cent was mixed waste, 38 per cent…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy: Welsh Defence Ethical Framework
Thank you for the statement, but I have to say, I'm really disappointed. This is not an ethical defence framework. It is nothing more than an ideological blacklist that risks Welsh jobs, investment and national security. Defence and aerospace employ 16,000…

I'd like to request two statements, one from the Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality on how they are working with councils and the UK Government to prevent rogue builders and their ability to phoenix, which is starting up again after you've left…
