Plaid Cymru Debate: Food poverty
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Yet again, we have another debate tabled around poverty, a long-standing issue for this Senedd, and there are known and undeniable links between poverty and food insecurity. Given that almost a quarter of people in Wales are in…

Questions to the First Minister
Recently, I met with the future generations commissioner to discuss both a universal basic income and a four-day working week, and I was interested to hear that her office had been contacted by several businesses in Wales seeking support to pilot a four-day…

Business Statement and Announcement
I'd like to ask for a statement on stop and search in Wales. A constituent of mine in Pencoed was stopped whilst leaving an under-15s football match, and my constituent himself was 15 and had no parent or guardian present with him when searched. Not only has…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. On this point, I understand it has come to committee a couple of times now, but I would be interested, though, if we could write back to the Welsh Government one last time to seek specific responses to the concerns and questions raised by…

Updates to previous petitions
Yes. Sorry, Chair. I don't see the point in us doubling up the work. I think you're right—I think the climate change committee will be looking at it and their clerking team can take up the case. I don’t see the point in us doubling the work on that, so I…

New Petitions
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think Wales has got a lot to offer when it comes to our musical talent and whilst, personally, I don't watch the Eurovision song contest—which is going to probably be a scandal now in The Western Mail tomorrow—I would like to see Wales…

New Petitions
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Looking at the Minister's response, it doesn't seem to me that she addresses the call for there to be a duty to notify individuals of their right to access their files once they turn 18. So, based on that, I would like to suggest that we as…

Evidence Session (Panel 2) - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Diolch, Cadeirydd, and, of course, thank you for your time today. I think there's a lot for furthering the debate around UBI in Wales, and hopefully we'll have a lot more opportunities in future to hash out a lot of these details. I asked in the earlier…

Evidence Session (Panel 1) - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Thank you. There's been a lot of discussion around costs in the report itself, and I often think—and I think this goes for a lot of other policies as well—that we focus a lot on the costs, but we don't focus on the savings that come as a result of the spend…

Evidence Session (Panel 1) - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Diolch, Cadeirydd. My supplementary isn't necessarily on what Joel has been asking. In fact, I'm taking it away a bit from where Joel was, for a second. In terms of the location of a pilot, what would be your ideal scenario or ideal location for the pilots?…

Evidence Session (Panel 1) - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Diolch, Cadeirydd, and, first off, thanks for all the work on the modelling. I think it gives us a good basis to take this debate forward in Wales. I do have a specific question around the wording, particularly with model 1. I'd be interested to know why does…

Thank you. You referenced a particular programme there, but I suppose that need then develops—it's sort of my line of questioning— through what exactly we can learn, then, from other countries in the UK, but, of course, actually, we should cast our net a bit…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I just want to come back to agricultural support for a moment, if I may, Chair. I'm particularly interested in learning what we can actually learn from other examples across the UK, but, in the first instance, I was wondering if you could…

Review of The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 - Environmental organisations
Okay. Thanks for that clarification. Following on from the topic that Sam was asking questions around, I was particularly interested and wondering actually if you could respond to evidence from NRW on the NVZ approach on which the regulations are based. NRW…

Review of The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 - Environmental organisations
It seemed to me that, as we were talking about the under-reporting element of incidents, this was being attributed to only agriculture and the under-reporting that was happening there. I just wanted to get some clarity there because it does strike me that, if…

Review of The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 - Environmental organisations
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I do have a follow-up question relating to some of the stuff that Sam raised, but if it's okay, Chair, I just would like to come back to the point of under-reporting very briefly—I'm conscious of time.
