Group 2: Environmental protection and improvement report (Amendment 53)
As I've already said, I can't disagree with a lot of what you said, Delyth, but as far as I'm concerned, to hold the feet of the Minister to the fire and the Government in the future, I believe that these reviews should take place every two years.

Group 1: Environmental principles and integrating environmental protection (Amendments 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
Diolch, Llywydd. I'll just say that recently I attended a technical briefing from your officials, and they actually admitted that they were way behind where they should be in terms of this agenda. That made me even more steadfast that we really do need to…

Group 1: Environmental principles and integrating environmental protection (Amendments 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
Diolch, Llywydd. Group 1 relates to the environmental principles, as has been said. The amendments we’re putting forward today, 9 and 10, insert additional environmental principles into section 2 of the Bill, the precise meaning of these principles and how…

The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026
Of course, recently, as a result of good stuff coming from the UK Conservative Government, we welcomed the introduction of the Celtic Freeport. We also acknowledge the vital role that our ports play here in Wales, not only in providing a passageway for people…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. Recently, I've had to raise serious concerns about this particular health board and the shocking handling of some of my long-standing cases, which defy what you keep saying about the reduction in treatment waiting times. You mentioned yourself it went…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Thank you. Now, for Dŵr Cymru customers, they're now set to receive a 4.8 per cent increase in their water bills, and this on top of other cost-of-living pressures as a result of this Welsh Labour Government here, and in London. They'll be rising from £652 on…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I do think that it was a little bit rich for you to say that after the way you've penalised our farmers with nitrate vulnerable zones and the heavy-handed approach you took there. Now, yesterday, as you've just said, you…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Diolch, Llywydd. Recently, I was shocked to learn—and you agreed this; you confirmed it—that there are no official measurements being taken on a regular basis of the levels of plastic pollution in our Welsh waters. We've seen plastic disks from water…

Business Statement and Announcement
I'd like to request a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care on the significant waiting list backlogs for gall bladder, dermatology, hernia and endoscopy treatments. I raised this very question just last week with the First Minister…

Just a quick one. You emphasised, about the bus franchising, the bigger companies. I'm really proud of my smaller companies in Aberconwy. I know you've got a pilot going on, but they've heard nothing, and I was really shocked when they said they've had no…

Annual scrutiny of Transport for Wales
Thank you. James, you told us last year that you didn't think you'd got KPIs entirely right, and they would be reviewed to ensure they're genuinely useful in driving the right behaviour. What stage is your review at, and what is changing as a result?

Yes. Sorry.

Thank you very much. Your 2024-25 annual report says you publish corporate key performance indicator results quarterly and annually, yet your corporate KPI webpages provide limited data—in most cases, just two quarters, and no longer time series or annual…

Thank you. Last year, we discussed the challenges involved in moving to the multi-year forward-look budget process required by the Welsh Government. What progress have you made towards adopting that approach?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of Transport for Wales
No, but as long as you don't forget, because I just feel you're far too generous.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of Transport for Wales
Just as a supp on that, I've raised questions before about delayed trains and the compensation you pay out, and I've always felt you're far too generous. Has that ever been looked at?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of Transport for Wales
Great. Last year, James, you told us that TfW's budget process had become more streamlined, but, unlike other arm's-length bodies, you still don't operate on a single budget. Why is TfW treated differently and has any more progress been made to address this…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of Transport for Wales
Yes. I'm right now. Will TfW have the budget it needs to meet its obligations in 2026-27? Are any projects, programmes or commitments at risk for the coming financial year and how are you managing that risk?
