Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Thank you very much, Joyce. You did mention standing up for Wales. The Welsh Conservatives were very robust in asking for HS2 consequentials to come to Wales. It seems that, since the Labour Westminster Government has come into power, your party has forgotten…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
—the voice of the people will make it clear. They'll say it's time to call last orders on this Government. It's time to make Wales great again. Enough is enough. It's time to change, and it can't change soon enough.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
—who has been quiet this whole debate. However, we are yet to see progress on the issues that the people of Wales care about. The people have been watching closely after these 100 days, and we have too, and we've had enough. In 2026, the voice of the people—

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
If you're going to put the minimum wage up, Joyce, you actually can’t put other taxes up for business as well, because they do need to have money to employ people, to put that money back in the community, to support the public services that we all require…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Yes, in a second, Joyce. And a Bill coming forward now attacking our visitor economy. The anti-growth coalition is in full swing here in Cardiff, and now they're aided and abetted by Westminster. Yes, I will take an intervention, Joyce.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. There's plenty more to come. So, let's see the impact of the first 100 days of this Government, and let's see what you've not been doing to address the issues that matter most to the people of Wales. Let’s talk health. The First…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
I'd like to congratulate the First Minister on becoming the first female First Minister of Wales. However, after 25 years and 100 days of the third Labour Government this year, what do we see? Broken promises, endless problems and a Government completely out…

Short Debate: The future of local healthcare in rural Wales
Thank you. You talk about upskilling the workforce, in certain parts of rural Wales, we're seeing services being downgraded, not upgraded. So, how can we encourage people to come and work in rural Wales when the services there are no more than almost like a…

Will you take an intervention?

Short Debate: The future of local healthcare in rural Wales
These examples show the breakdown in co-ordination between health boards, leaving patients stranded in a web of bureaucracy and needless travel, and, more often than not, as an MS and other MSs here who represent rural Wales, we are contacted to pick up the…

Short Debate: The future of local healthcare in rural Wales
Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to give a minute of my time to Russell George, Sam Rowlands, Gareth Davies and the one and only Janet Finch-Saunders. The future of healthcare in rural Wales is under serious strain. In Brecon and Radnorshire, we…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
You say 'large farms'. There's a farm up for sale in my constituency, and it's a farm with 20 acres and valued at £1.9 million. Do you actually say that that's a large farm?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
The thing with our benches is that we want to plant the right tree in the right place; what your Government want to do is plant trees everywhere, right the way across Wales. I suggest to the Labour Party that if you want to see the true price of farms in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Today I'm here to expose the real impacts of Labour's reckless changes to agricultural property relief and the threat that they pose to farming families and rural communities here in Wales. The Chancellor's autumn budget has sent a clear message: Labour is…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language: The UK Budget
Cabinet Secretary, thank you for your statement today. What we're told is the NHS is exempt from tax rises. However, as colleagues have said, social care and GP surgeries are not, and they have raised serious concerns that tax rises could really impact the…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Okay. My final question, as well, which is a bit of a generic, general question: do you think that this could inadvertently—it was raised in the Senedd at the time—be seen as a badge of honour, somebody getting sanctioned in this way? People from the extreme…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Mick's covered some of the areas I want to cover on privilege. Mick and I both share an interest in this area. But one thing I am worried about if privilege is removed is also the impact on somebody's human rights and article 10 and the right of freedom of…

Inquiry into Individual Member Accountability: Evidence Session 11
Diolch, Cadeirydd, and thank you very much for coming today. I’ve got a few questions that I’m going to ask, but we'll see. Since you touched on the courts there very briefly, I’m just interested: Parliament is there to set the law, and the courts are there…

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
—Cabinet Secretary. But then you have misquoted me twice today, so there we go. There are going to be bumps in the road, as you've said, but if something isn't right and, say, the farming unions cannot agree with your final position, where do we go then?…
, Plenary
Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
Can I thank the previous First Minister for telling the Cabinet Secretary I wanted to make an intervention? You did say about getting things right and you did talk earlier about bumps in the road, and maybe I was a little bit unfair on you earlier—
