Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, in your capacity as Minister for north Wales, what discussions have you held with the tourism industry in the region regarding your Government's proposals for a tourism levy?

Questions to the First Minister
Well, I haven't seen any signs of improvement, Minister. I'm very, very concerned about the parlous state of services for patients across north Wales, particularly those that are served by Glan Clwyd Hospital. But one of the other concerns that is ringing…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you for that response, Minister. I'm sure you'll be as concerned as I am at the significant increase in inflation in the past few months and, of course, it's forecast to rise even further in the months ahead. The student finance regime hasn't changed to…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Planning guidance is also critical when it comes to engagement. Given the fact that 'Future Wales' has set out an ambition for significant additional windfarms to be built onshore across the country, there are many communities now that are concerned about the…

Motion of condolence and tributes to Her Majesty The Queen
There are many different words that have been used in this Chamber and in other Parliaments and in other tributes to Her Majesty the Queen in recent days: duty, service, longevity, dedication, honour—I made a list of a few of them just in the Chamber…

Motion of condolence and tributes to Her Majesty The Queen
As those who have visited my office, or had the misfortune of watching my contributions virtually during the pandemic, will be able to attest, I have two photographs of Her Majesty the Queen in my office. They're on display in my office alongside other…

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
You said that we resisted. Check the Record.

No, you said that we resisted.

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
I just wanted to correct the record. There was reference there to the plastic bags. We were not against that. In fact, we proposed the charge for plastic bags.

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Will you take an intervention? So, as I said earlier, one of the problems with the current system where they can make the change to 20 mph is the length of time that that takes. If you're going to introduce this change—and I urge you not to—but if you are…
, Plenary
The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
That's right, and, of course, you could reduce the speed limit to 15 mph or 10 mph and even have a shorter stopping limit. I don't think it's necessarily the fact that this is a 20 mph proposal that is the issue, because, as I say, I've supported 20 mph in…

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
—but having listened to the arguments, I just wanted to make a short contribution. Look, I've been a Member of this Senedd for 15 years, and over those 15 years I've campaigned for 20 mph zones in some parts of my constituency. We've been successful in…

Business Statement and Announcement
Thank you, Trefnydd, for your statement. Can I ask for a written statement please from the Minister for Health and Social Services on the impact of tourism on health services, particularly in north Wales? As you will know, north Wales is a beautiful place for…

Motion to annul the Non-Domestic Rating (Amendment of Definition of Domestic Property) (Wales) Order 2022
I'll happily make an intervention. Most operators would absolutely love for their properties to be occupied for more than 50 per cent of the year, but that is simply not the reality in many parts of Wales. And I don't think that you imposing this arbitrary 50…

Business Statement and Announcement
Llywydd, I'd like to request a statement from the health Minister on the delivery of the north Denbighshire community hospital. Back in 2013, the then health Minister, who, of course, is now the First Minister, made an announcement that a new hospital would…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
I absolutely concur with the points that have been made by Siân Gwenllian about the need to make sure that we've got doctors coming through the system who are proficient in the Welsh language. It's also really important, of course, that those who are in the…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you for that answer, Minister. I do appreciate the position of the Welsh Government on this matter. I’ve been contacted by many residents in Colwyn Bay regarding a potential development in the Pwllycrochan area in the town, and, unfortunately, as you…
