Yes. It was just to come in on what Peter said around the need to establish what are the avenues the petitioners can take here then, in this instance. They'll understand why, not just in this particular case, but I think other cases, in other constituencies…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I'm pretty sure that this has been a subject that the Petitions Committee has touched on before, and I know as well that there was a debate around I think it was the general principles of road safety, but with a specific focus on this area…

Finance Committee Debate: Welsh Government's spending priorities for the 2025-26 budget
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I would agree with the point that Jenny Rathbone had made in opening, with her remarks around the need to look at how we actually can govern more efficiently. I'd point towards the Development Bank of Wales and Business Wales. We have…

Short Debate: The pawfect place to call home—Providing safe accommodation for pets in Wales
Thank you, Carolyn, for giving me a minute of your time. I'd like to touch on two specific areas here. One of them is private rented accommodation, specifically the challenges faced by homeless people with pets. Now, most homeless accommodation doesn't allow…

For weeks now, in response to any question on Tata and Port Talbot, we were told to wait for a UK Labour Government. Well, we’re here now and still none the wiser about what the plan is. It was an interesting exchange yesterday between the leader of the…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
I would simply say to the naysayers: if you don't want more powers for this place, if you don't want to fight for fair funding, then why are you here? If Members are content with being managers then there are plenty of opportunities outside of this place…

Yes. If I could suggest, then, that, as part of that debate the Chair—sorry to give you more work, Jack—contributes to that debate, just highlighting these petitions.

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. Looking at the responses the petitioner has sent us, I would have to agree with them. It sounds like the Cabinet Secretary is making the right noises, but it's ultimately now about whether or not they follow through with what needs to be…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I'm not particularly familiar with Watch House bay, but I am familiar with Ogmore-by-Sea; that's where I take the dog for a walk. It's right next to Merthyr Mawr nature reserve as well—another great place to take your dog for a walk, but…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. From the outset, I'd say I'm very supportive of this petition. I was on free school meals—it didn't end after primary school; I was still on them when I went to comp. The reality is that we've gone a long way in introducing it at primary…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
That's exactly the point, isn't it? The devolution of the Crown Estate allows us quick and easy access to those funds that we can then use to the benefit of our communities. What we want to see here is the setting up of, essentially, a sovereign wealth fund…
