Reform UK Debate: A Welsh Rivers Act
Will you accept some responsibility for the fact that the Liberal Democrats were in Government here in Wales when NRW was created and that that is a failed regulator, and, therefore, you have to accept some responsibility for getting it wrong?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospital services and hospital closures
I'll give him the grace, I'm very happy to. So, listen, I urge everybody in this Chamber to get behind the original motion. I appreciate the amendments that have been tabled, and we support the Reform amendment, we support the Labour amendments too, but we…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospital services and hospital closures
As you can see, I'm a great fan of sports. [Laughter.] A great fan of sports. Of course I see. Of course I see the importance of the preventative agenda. We need to invest in the preventative agenda. But the question I have for the Cabinet Minister is if…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospital services and hospital closures
Now, I will say this: I think that everybody in this Chamber should get behind our motion today. It sends a very clear and unequivocal message, not just to patients who want to know that the services are going to be in their communities when they need them…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospital services and hospital closures
Well, well, well, Cabinet Minister, you've changed your tune, haven't you? Your tune before the last election was very clearly, 'Let's save our hospital services and let's save our hospitals from closure', but now you're giving a green light for hospital…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Stillbirth and neonatal mortality
I'm very grateful to you for taking an intervention. Deputy Minister, you referred earlier to bereavement care. No-one hasn't been moved this afternoon by the contributions we've heard from Members or, indeed, the e-mail communications and letters that we've…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution: Priorities for Government Effectiveness and Constitution
I have to say I was very disappointed by your statement. You're supposed to be the Government Minister for efficiency. I wish you were more efficient in the words that you use, because you didn't actually say or commit to a great deal. You made lots of woolly…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, look, I'll believe it when I see it, frankly, because, let's face it, four out of the five last budgets agreed in this place, in the Senedd, were between you and the Labour Party agreeing on the investment going into the NHS, which has delivered the…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Lywydd. First Minister, today your minority Government laid its very first supplementary budget. It included £145 million of extra funding for the Welsh NHS. You've heavily spun those figures to suggest that they will solve the problem with waiting…

Business Statement and Announcement
Can I raise my concerns about the fact that an announcement to extend childcare was made to the media prior to its being made to this Senedd Chamber? This is where announcements of that sort ought to be made, Trefnydd, and I think it's incumbent upon all…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, can I welcome your comments in relation to the armed forces covenant? It's absolutely vital that Wales honours that covenant at every single level of government, and I want to pay tribute to those organisations that are working hard to do just that. But…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, in just 11 days' time, communities across Wales and the whole of the United Kingdom will be marking Armed Forces Day. It's an opportunity, of course, to pay tribute to the courage and professionalism of His Majesty's armed forces, and to…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Transport: Key Infrastructure Resilience
Diolch. Can I congratulate you too, Cabinet Minister, on your new role? I'm a little bit concerned about the attitude towards the M4. It is an absolutely critical part of our road infrastructure network here in Wales. It's important not just to Wales, but…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, can I call for a statement from the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability on Welsh recycling rates? Obviously, one of the things that we're all delighted by is the fact that Welsh residents are amongst the best recyclers in the…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Well, there is a weakness in the planning guidelines because, as you know, there is an assumption in favour of large-scale solar farms in most parts of Wales now, and not just solar farms either, but large windfarms as well, with pylons marching across the…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, can you tell us what steps your new Government is taking to ensure that developments of national significance do not permanently compromise Wales's most productive agricultural land? Prior to taking office, you firmly stood with your…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Health and Care Priorities
Cabinet Minister, you've suggested that there's too much of a focus on hospital care in your statement today, and you seem to be hinting that you think that there are too many hospital beds. Can you tell us whether that is your view or not, and whether you…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, can I ask for two statements, please, and the first in relation to school funding? I was heartened to see the comments last week that recognised the challenges that schools face across Wales by the new education Cabinet Minister, and I hope to be…

Questions to the First Minister
We absolutely need a solution, and, of course, you had an opportunity. Every time you did a budget deal and a legislation deal with the previous Welsh Government, you could have actually brought forward some solutions and put some money in the tin in order to…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. First Minister, can you tell us what action your Government is going to take to deal with the repeated chaos as a result of the frequent closure of the Menai suspension bridge? It's causing misery for residents, commuters and businesses across…

Statement by the First Minister: The First Minister's Priorities

Diolch, Lywydd. Fellow Members of the Senedd, I rise today to mark an historic and significant moment in the life of this Siambr and, indeed, this nation. I want to put on record, first of all, my thanks to the outgoing Llywydd, Elin Jones, for the way in…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, I think people would expect you to answer as the leader of Welsh Labour as to what you think should be done with that money. Certainly, at least you could express an opinion as to whether you think that money should be handed back, given that many…
