Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Welsh Language Communities Housing Plan
Another issue I’ve raised in this Chamber is the buying of Welsh farmland for tree planting by organisations and businesses from outside of Wales. Therefore, I would welcome it if the community-led co-operatives and social enterprises element could be…

Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Welsh Language Communities Housing Plan
Over the past 18 months, working patterns have changed, with many people returning to those areas where they grew up, and, as we transfer out of the pandemic, it's unlikely that we will return to the traditional forms of working at an office desk. There are…

I would also point out that, throughout Wales, there exist more empty properties than second homes, and so I would be interested in knowing what the Minister and his Cabinet colleagues plan to do in addressing these issues. What will be done to get these…

Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Welsh Language Communities Housing Plan
Home building across Wales hasn't kept up with demand. Although the Government promises to build 20,000 low-carbon homes, from what I see, it doesn't note where in Wales these new homes will be built. We need to build homes where there is demand for them, not…

Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: The Welsh Language Communities Housing Plan
Today’s statement was previously scheduled for last week, however it was delayed. It’s now evident from today’s statement that we were in fact waiting on the final details of the Labour/Plaid Cymru coalition before you made any formal announcement in relation…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales, and Trefnydd: The Bovine TB Eradication Programme
Minister, you mention in your statement a 48 per cent decrease in new TB incidents since 2009, but I'd be interested to know what the statistics say about the re-occurrence of the disease within infected herds and how many herds have been classified as TB…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales, and Trefnydd: The Bovine TB Eradication Programme
I would like to thank the Minister for giving me advance sight of today’s statement, and I refer to my register of interests. I’d like to begin, firstly, by paying tribute to our farmers across Wales for continuing to feed a nation even in the face of the…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Good afternoon, everyone. I've just got the one question, really; it's regarding rehoming centres and animal sanctuaries. Could I ask, with regard to the regulation on rehoming centres and animal sanctuaries, whether the actions set out in…

I have got a couple of questions with regard to bovine TB, but I'm conscious of the time, Chair, so I'm happy to forego those and get the written answers from the witnesses, if that's okay.

Diolch yn fawr, Gwyn. Therefore, witnesses, is it a fair assumption if I say that the lack of food production in the drafts seen so far on the sustainable farming scheme is a cause for concern? Yes, go ahead.
