Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you. Of course, co-production is also about monitoring outcomes, agreeing what works well and agreeing what we need to do differently. Staying with the disability rights of wheelchair users, and I emphasise that I'm raising points I was asked to raise…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you, but you still haven't told us whether that will include who, what, when, where, how, which is what the co-producers and consultees are asking for. Disabled people in Wales are almost twice as likely as non-disabled people to live in a low-income…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Bus services
I didn't think there'd be time. Do you recognise that no Labour UK Government has ever electrified a single foot or inch of track in Wales, and that the UK Government since 2010 was the first Government to ever do so?
