Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
It shouldn't be a surprise to see that in the motion we have yet again called for the devolution of the Crown Estate. For anyone elected to the Senedd, I find it hard to understand how you would argue against control over the wealth potential here in Wales…

Of course, this is deeply concerning news, and I think it's important that we recognise the stress that this has put on staff and thank them for their professionalism in dealing with the situation. We are, now, in a situation where major traumas can't be…

Foundational Economy: Panel 4 - Housing and decarbonisation
Joanne, would you like to add anything?

Foundational Economy: Panel 4 - Housing and decarbonisation
So, it's a question of ensuring that it's sustainable over the long term.

I'll start with Iwan. I see that you agree with that.

Foundational Economy: Panel 4 - Housing and decarbonisation
Diolch, Cadeirydd. We touched a lot on funding in the previous set of questions. I was going to ask around that, but I’m also conscious of time. So, if I can stick to one particular question here. In our previous session, we discussed it again, and touched on…

Thank you. Great. I'm conscious of the time. That was a really interesting discussion. Diolch yn fawr.

That's really interesting. Does anyone want to add anything at all?

Foundational Economy: Panel 3 - Food sector
Just sticking with you for a moment, then, Robbie, in the paper that you submitted to the committee, you called for longer term funding from Welsh Government. Is that something that you’re in conversation with Welsh Government about?

Foundational Economy: Panel 3 - Food sector
—rather than a driver, whether that’s for economic prosperity, job creation.
, Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Foundational Economy: Panel 3 - Food sector
So, to be clear then, to be as clear as possible, what you’re suggesting is that the Welsh Government is seeing the foundational economy more as a project—

Foundational Economy: Panel 3 - Food sector
Thank you for that. You’re both tempting me quite a bit to go deeper into procurement, but I know one of my colleagues has a number of questions there, so I know they won’t forgive me if I start stealing their questions as well. But, just in terms of the…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Just thinking about some of the levers the Welsh Government have, what exactly are they? We know that funding is one of them. But what are the other levers at the Welsh Government's disposal?

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning: Energy and the green economy
I welcome the statement, but I know that Plaid Cymru aren't under any illusions that history is at risk of repeating itself here. Wales is, once again, being cast in the role of resource provider. Wind, wave, land and sea bed are exploited while the financial…

Questions to the First Minister
On several occasions, I've highlighted the work of Professor Anna Stec in this Chamber, whose research has found that instances of cancer among firefighters aged 35 to 39 are 323 per cent higher than in the general population. Now, I know that the Welsh…

Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
Great.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
So, looking at the situation as it currently stands, what would your thoughts be, then, on the impact to access to justice for individuals of the whole issues that we see around the Welsh language in the tribunals?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
No, it was just using the Chair’s prerogative. Mike has picked up on what I was going to go on to, in terms of collecting data to understand why applicants might choose to either do their cases in either English or Welsh. This is also a problem, isn't it, of…
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
Diolch, Cadeirydd. If I can stick with the Welsh language and its use within tribunals, as the president of Welsh Tribunals, how do you ensure that hearings can be held in the language of an applicant's choice?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
Okay. Diolch.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
So, levelling off, essentially, yes?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Evidence Session with the President of the Welsh Tribunals
Okay. Thank you for that. Applications to the Welsh Language Tribunal remained quite low over the last three years. Are you aware of any particular reason why this is, and do you think that this is a trend that will likely continue?
