Debate: The Police Settlement 2024-25
Although this settlement does provide a general increase in funding, this isn't allocated on the basis of the individual needs of the forces. And, as Peredur Owen Griffiths said, it comes following a number of cuts over a period of a decade. In addition to…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you for that response, Minister, and for the number of letters I've received from you on this issue. I'm sure we could all agree that IVF and fertility treatment is one of the miracles in medicine in our time. It fills a void within families. And I…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Weinidog. Since the cost-of-living crisis, Wales has lost some of its highest quality restaurants and eateries. It feels on occasions that, every time I look on Wales Online, it is announcing the closure of yet another well-established…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. Given the lifting of restrictions on Welsh voters living abroad from participating in the next general election, it's more important than ever that we create links with the Welsh disapora. And last week, it was a privilege to meet a…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Gadeirydd. This is an example of a petition that has been overtaken by events. Since the passing of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, there is now no end date for the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. Both the Minister…

P-06-1307 The Welsh Government should commit to the adoption of the maintenance of new housing estates by local authorities
And I suppose you're very reliant on individuals, then. Circumstances can change, people move, and then things can change very quickly. But anyway, thank you very much. I found that very useful. Diolch yn fawr.
