Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—Evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair, and thanks, everyone, for coming to today's evidence session. I just want to quickly talk about the schools' management of the problem, really. I'm conscious that the report's title is '"We don't tell our teachers"', and I was just keen to…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Yes, thank you, Llywydd. The Welsh Government is not focused on implementing policy and there is a climate of seemingly warm words and promises, but a distinct lack of action. During a recent meeting with one of the commissioners, the matter of policy…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for that, because at the moment it seems that the commissioner is free to waste public money at her discretion and on her own irrelevant pet projects. But, since being elected, I've read and heard of countless organisations…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Yes, perfect. Given the extensive criticism by the commissioner of this Government, particularly that the Welsh Government has failed to show clear, joined-up leadership and that there's poor communication and integration between different Welsh priorities…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Deputy Minister, but I feel, once again, that this Welsh Government is missing the point, because, rather than introducing new legislation, you need to make sure that existing legislation works first. If the future generations Act has been so…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Llywydd. Minister, almost a year ago the 'Procuring Well-being in Wales' report was published, and it clearly shows that after almost seven years of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 this Government has been found negligent of…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 4—economy
Yes, perfect. Thanks ever so much for that. I just wanted really to ask another question, then—I know Sam mentioned it—in terms of if you increase the cost, really, that's not necessarily going to put people off buying; it's just going to encourage people who…

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 4—economy
Thanks, Chair, and hi, everyone. It's nice to see you again, Suzy. As just a quick thing, I wanted to touch upon taxation, really. I know it's been brought up previously, especially by Sam in terms of getting rid of the consultation on short-term holiday…
, Petitions Committee
Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Chair. I'm in support of what Buffy has mentioned there, because I think the key thing here is—and again I highlight the BASC thing, and I think I was one of the ones that asked for them to be included within this—the lack of evidence, really. The…
, Petitions Committee
Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Chair. This is a petition I fully support. I think this is something we need to be pushing as Senedd Members as well, and I know we've got a debate coming up shortly about Cowbridge school. Funnily enough, I met with residents last week about…

Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Chair. It was just to agree with what Luke said there, really. Again, I mentioned at the start my BASC link, and I'm just making that known again. I agree with everything that Luke has said there, but I'm also conscious when we last discussed this…

Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Chair. I've mentioned when we've debated this previously I'm a councillor in RCT and I believe the petitioner is as well, so there's something there. I agree with what's been said by Buffy and by Luke, really. I think it's definitely important that…
, Petitions Committee
New Petitions
Thank you, Chair. Yes, on what Luke was saying, there are some things with the petition I don't necessarily support, in terms of it's calling for an enlarged Senedd and everything. I think there are too many politicians—sorry, I know I'm one of them—but I…
, Petitions Committee
New Petitions
Thank you, Chair. I've been reading about this a bit, reading the background and everything, and it is definitely one of those awkward ones, because—. My view on this is this: the petitioner says that history now shows the full extent, but that was known at…
, Petitions Committee
New Petitions
Thank you, Chair. As Luke said, I met with the petitioner to do a round-table event last year, which I was hoping would be on a fairly regular basis, but, due to time constraints, that's not necessarily happened, although it's something I'm keen to pursue…
, Petitions Committee
New Petitions
Thank you, Chair. I must admit, I've been reading this quite a bit now and I don't know what more we can do as a committee. The Welsh Government has said quite clearly that it intends for exams to go ahead in the summer, and I don't think there's going to be…

Introductions, apologies and substitutions
Thank you, Chair. It's just a quick declaration. As I've mentioned a couple of times, I'm a member of BASC, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation. I know that there are about three petitions coming up where that might have some relevance.

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
As the Minister will be aware, the equality and community cohesion budget will increase from £12.7 million in 2022-23 to £20.8 million in 2024-25. This equates to an increase of 64 per cent. From what I can understand, this represents the main increase in…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. The employer skills survey has reported that a wide range of skills and attributes are lacking among applicants for jobs within Wales, with over 84 per cent of vacancies partially caused by a lack of technical or practical…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you. As you're aware, and as you have explained, the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021 is the legislation that sets out the legal framework for the new curriculum, and on the surface it has very inclusive aims, stating for example in section 28…
