Reform UK Debate: Prostate cancer strategy
Nothing can ever prepare a person for receiving a cancer diagnosis, or indeed hearing about the diagnosis of a family member or a friend. It's one of the most terrifying things that anyone can be told, and it's a disease that touches, in effect, so many of…

Statement by the First Minister: 60th Anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster
Wales produced some of the best coal in the world. For generations, Welsh miners sustained our communities, our industries and our economy. They represented the best of what we might today call 'alarm clock Britain'—people who got up, went to work, and…

Statement by the First Minister: 60th Anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster
The depth of its impact is reflected in the fact that Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited Aberfan on eight occasions, including in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. This week, the King, Queen and Prince of Wales are set to visit, and I thank…

Statement by the First Minister: 60th Anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster
I thank the First Minister for his statement marking this solemn occasion. Sixty years ago, on 21 October, staff and pupils at Pantglas went to school on the last day before half term. Tragically, for so many of them, that would be the last day of their…

Questions to the Counsel General
Thank you. The inquiry has confirmed that it will examine matters involving devolved services in Wales. You started to clarify the legal obligations there placed on the Welsh Government to co-operate with the inquiry. Will this include provision of relevant…

Questions to the First Minister
You're talking about empowering schools to make the necessary choices around phones, and that leads to this notion of guidance as opposed to bringing something into law. First Minister, the fact is that you are speaking, as you know, to a former teacher, and…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, a well-known issue with behaviour in schools is linked to students having access to their mobile phones. At the end of July this year, schools across the border in England were given clarity on mobile phone use. What was initially guidance…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Lywydd. I want to firstly pay tribute to the Aberfan tragedy, which took place 60 years ago tomorrow. We'll never forget the lives lost and the community forever scarred by this devastating event. I appreciate the Government is making a statement on…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, it's a 'no', and it's a shame to see that you're determined to continue Mark Drakeford's war on motorists. Nothing changes, does it? The cosy Cardiff consensus continues. Speaking of which, First Minister, throughout the Senedd election, you promised…

Questions to the First Minister
The point is that we absolutely accept we already have criminals home grown in the country, but why would we risk importing more? People that we don't know—we know nothing about them. The fact is, whether this is an isolated case or not, two girls have…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Lywydd. First Minister, I want to raise a deeply disturbing case from our capital city. In March this year, 29-year-old Mohammed Abbas arrived in Britain on a small boat from France. By June, he was in custody facing criminal charges. In July, he was…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, it's clear to anybody with an ounce of common sense that the reason anybody can say anything negative about the post-Brexit era is because the people who were in charge of seeing it through didn't make the most of the opportunities they were…

Questions to the First Minister
The prelude, not the actual question. First Minister, it's quite clear that, once again, your party is on the wrong side of history in failing to stand up for our vulnerable Jewish community. Another example of Plaid being on the wrong side of history is…

Diolch, Lywydd. Before I begin, may I congratulate Welshman Elfyn Evans on becoming world rally champion after a nail-biting finale in Sardinia on Sunday? What a proud moment for Wales and what a wonderful sight to see y ddraig goch flying on the world stage…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
I want to concentrate my contribution on what the 20 mph default policy has actually meant for communities and councils across my constituency of Bangor Conwy Môn. When the default policy—the default policy—was first introduced, local authorities were…

Nobody on our benches is talking Wales down. We believe in a strong Wales in a strong United Kingdom. We have to remember as well that recently, in a poll commissioned by YesCymru, two thirds of people who responded said they did not want an independent…

Reform will never be reckless when it comes to defending our nation, and we believe in a strong Wales in a strong United Kingdom. Speaking of large employers in Wales, First Minister, last week we learned that Legal & General, a firm that employs over 2,000…

Prif Weinidog, can I begin by thanking you for delivering your programme for government today? There's plenty in this programme that Reform can agree with. We want waiting lists down, we want standards in our schools to improve, we want better paid jobs…
