Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
The COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukrainian war and, of course, our climate crisis have made it absolutely clear that we have to reduce our reliance on imported food. The £8.5 billion Welsh food and farming sector, of course, can help us to do that, and we need to…

Questions to the First Minister
I believe that Bryn Bach Coal Limited has applied to Carmarthenshire County Council for permission to mine by surface mining operations 110,000 tonnes of premium-quality anthracite from the proposed Glan Lash extension. Having checked on their website, the…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill
I realise, of course, the Minister isn't here to introduce this today, but the Counsel General has very ably pointed out the problems that we have with so much plastic. By the time I've actually given my contribution, around 5 million plastic bottles will…

No, not literally sharing. [Laughter.] But we do also have to—. And we've talked about the Eisteddfod. But we do also have to be familiar with all the other eisteddfodau across Wales. We should be encouraging local media, and especially S4C, to be present at…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events
We’ll see you there. [Laughter.] Now, like big events such as the Royal Welsh, funding options are equally as important to smaller rural organised events. Now, this is why in March last year, because of the pandemic and because of the problems that smaller…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Summer shows and events
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and thank you, Deputy Minister, for your response. I’ll get to what I’m going to say in a minute, but I think your words were very appropriate when you said what a fantastic and upbeat debate this is to have just before we all go away…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy
Thank you. Wales has shown itself to be a world leader on much in the past. What is needed now is for this Welsh Government to reflect on the merit of its own people in how far they have carried Wales, but also how much further we can go. Today's politics…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy
At the end of the day, we should be looking to give people an equal opportunity, helping them to find work, bringing out the potential of everybody, not actually saying, 'Do you know what, we'll be a nanny state and we'll just hand it out to you anyway.'…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy
Thanks for that contribution, but we'll have to beg to differ. As far as I'm concerned, you have failed the people of Wales as regards the clean air Act. We've got record high poverty levels amongst infants and children and low levels of investment in our…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy
Despite all the moans and groans here about how short of money you are from the UK Government, costing £20 million last month, it was announced that around 500 care leavers in Wales would now receive a fixed sum of money: £1,600 every month for two years, in…
