Reform UK Debate: Childcare offer
I want to reiterate that Reform supports childcare and we support the current childcare offer, which is already baked into the Government's budget, as introduced by the then Labour Government. At the moment, it is not clear if Plaid Cymru's flagship childcare…

Diolch. I open today's debate in my name. The purpose of this debate today and the motion that I ask all Members to support is to ask the Welsh Government to publish the full costings and timetable for the introduction of their childcare offer within the…

Questions to the First Minister
Llywydd, it's going to be a long Senedd if the First Minister can't give a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer to a simple question. But we'll take that as a 'no', which means that student nurses will now be forced to look abroad. I know that Plaid Cymru are in…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I'd like now to talk about 'small change'. That's how you referred to the £9 million budget for overseas affairs. It's a sum that most people wouldn't classify as small change, and it's money that Reform believes should be spent on employing…

Questions to the First Minister

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, 30 per cent of voters voted for Reform because they do trust us with the NHS. Ten thousand people—10,000 people—were stuck in A&E for over 12 hours last month, and ambulance handover targets are consistently missed. Health should be your top…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Lywydd. First Minister, thousands of people in Wales are still waiting more than two years for treatment on the Welsh NHS, whereas in England two-year waits were virtually eradicated some time ago, which proves that ending two-year waits can be…

Statement by the First Minister: The First Minister's Priorities
Thank you. First Minister, thank you for your statement today, and congratulations on your election results. The election has shown one thing very clearly: the political landscape in Wales has changed. After decades of Welsh politics looking exactly the same…

Nomination of the First Minister under Standing Order 8
Llywydd, congratulations on your appointment today, and thank you for the time. May I also congratulate all Members on their election or re-election, as the case may be? And may I congratulate Plaid Cymru's nominee for First Minister on your election? I'd…
