Welsh Labour Debate: The M4 around Newport
Diolch, Lywydd. I have been asked to shorten this debate, so I'll take no interventions, please, because I'm going to have to cut out as I go, because some people like to talk more than they should need to. [Laughter.] For more than 30 years, the Welsh…

Business Statement and Announcement
Can I request from the Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality a statement on how the Welsh Government will work to end the need for foodbanks in Wales? Around a quarter of adults, or 260,000 people in Wales, are going without enough food because…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Family Drug and Alcohol Courts
I rise today in support of this motion, because, at its heart, this debate is about one thing and one thing only: children. Quite rightly, we have heard a great deal about court processes, social services, addiction, public spending. But behind every…

Cabinet Minister, one in two of us, or someone we know, has experienced pregnancy or baby loss. During Baby Loss Awareness Week, from 9 October to 15 October, we remember babies' lives, including those lost before 24 weeks. From April 2027, these parents will…

Cabinet Minister, I'll try and be as quick as I can. We know already that schools are under pressure and so is school maintenance. I quite welcome the increase in funding that's going towards it. I do not lay any of the blame at your doorstep, it's successive…

Diolch.

Okay. If I can just follow up on that one with a very, very short one. Cefin's plan sounds to me a very good way of trying to tackle the problem, but by the time the problem's tackled, we already have a bow wave behind that we still need to sort. One of the…

Yes. Cabinet Minister, one of the reasons I was insistent to my party that I sit on this committee is I was one of those children that fell out of the education system into NEET as a child. Some of the worrying elements I'm seeing within the papers we've been…

I'll be very keen to see it.

Cabinet Minister, we're all aware that, currently, ALN is a system that is massively under strain, whether that's in terms of funding or the correct provisioning. I'm happy to hear some of the answers you've been giving today, that we are trying to plan to…

Bore da, Minister. What I want to go into in slightly more depth is to understand what your future planning is going to be around the PISA results and what you said earlier about your plan for literacy and numeracy going forward. The latest cycle in the Estyn…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Transport: Strategic Priorities for the Menai Strait Crossings and M4 around Newport
Deputy Minister, much of what I'm going to say some people have already asked, so I'll try to skirt around the edges. These words aren't mine, but those of my residents within Newport. They're deeply concerned by reports that your Government is considering…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Contaminated land
Good afternoon, all. My only contribution is to state that also in Casnewydd Islwyn, we have three of these sites. Monsanto itself, very famously, is the site within Newport that was creating much of this, but we also have Glebelands and the Severn river…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
We are very similar in the questioning, Lyn, so I'll try and skirt around some of the other parts of it. Cabinet Minister, it's not just community green spaces at risk in Casnewydd, but also agricultural land. Currently, plans see 578 acres of farmland given…

And that's the area I'm trying to zone in on. On our own, there are only four current sectors where companies can draw on. Post your skills audit, where you find there are actually other sectors—

Yes, correct.

Welsh Government General Scrutiny Session
It was just seeking a point of clarity. I don't know whether I myself was sure, on the last question that Sam asked you, whether we got a complete answer to it. What I'd like to pose is: as you're going to run the skills audit report, et cetera, and, post…
