Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Chair. I’d like to write to the Minister one more time on this petition, if we could, please, just to have complete clarity, because I actually don’t think the Minister is answering the question that’s being asked. There are lots and lots and lots…

Evidence Session - P-06-1224 Design a 'Care Leavers Plus' Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people
Would it still be worth going ahead with the pilot if it was restricted to just care leavers?

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. The metro will transform the way that we travel across south Wales, and I couldn't be happier that Rhondda will benefit from the £0.25 billion investment. We've had some real problems on the Treherbert line in the past, so a more…
