Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
Can you understand why some farmers have scepticism around trees? Because when we were in the European Union, you were being penalised for having ground underneath trees that had been taken off your basic payment. And we had stock-excluded woodlands then as…

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
As somebody who was involved in the agriculture community, Jenny, I didn't go far when I was a child. But there we go. But there has been an issue of timing. On the Government's decision to delay the introduction of the scheme until 2026, as has been said, it…

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
Well, farmers never take a holiday, Minister. Perhaps you should take a leaf out of their book, because the average farmer never takes a holiday; they work 365 days a year. And actually, the proof is in the pudding, isn't it, so we will see what you come out…

You can, Minister. Yes.

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
You'd like to. There we go. Okay. Stakeholders, from tenant farmers to young entrants, have repeatedly stressed that their input has been sidelined. We've seen the round-tables; not many young farmers on those round-tables. It seems as if everything is done…

Joint Debate on Committee Reports: The Sustainable Farming Scheme and Farming Connect
Diolch, Llywydd, it seems very quick to be back at the despatch box again. I'd like to thank the committees, chaired by Paul Davies and Llyr Gruffydd, for the work that they have done on scrutinising the Welsh Government around its sustainable farming scheme…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Assisted dying
The problem we see is that the withdrawal of treatment is given when people have reached the end, after they've gone through immeasurable suffering, and it should be that person's right—that person's right to choose. It's not policy makers' right to choose…

Thank you for your answer, Cabinet Secretary. It is deeply troubling to learn that Natural Resources Wales has been under investigation by HMRC, and it has been estimated in the press that Welsh taxpayers may be on the hook for as much as £19 million. That's…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Community outreach, Minister, for our sports clubs is very important, but also how they link with community health as well. What we have across Wales is an obesity epidemic, and I think sport can play a huge role in addressing the obesity crisis that we have…

Business Statement and Announcement
I’d like to ask for two statements, Trefnydd, one from the Minister for culture around arts funding. I recently visited Wyeside in Builth Wells, and they celebrate 150 years next year of that theatre and that cinema being open in Builth Wells. They have an…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Teaching of reading skills in schools
In the interests of time, yes, I agree with you. Peter Fox highlighted the importance of this debate and how we’re letting young people down across Wales—that’s why we’ve tabled this debate today, because we want to improve the lives of young people across…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Teaching of reading skills in schools
I think Mike just highlighted that cueing undermines phonics. This shows the inconsistencies across the situation across Wales, doesn't it? Cefin Campbell then also rose to speak, and he spoke about the Welsh Government not being clear. You said, were…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Teaching of reading skills in schools
Diolch, Llywydd. I think I'll try and lower the tone, I think, in the Chamber; I think it’s got a bit out of hand. We’re all very concerned about reading across our schools, because it’s vitally important that we do provide the highest quality education in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Council-owned farms
A lot of these tenancies are not being renewed, and you say you want to make a scheme accessible for tenant farmers, but if tenant farmers don't know what their future is, because local authorities are going to sell them, why would anybody go into a scheme…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Council-owned farms
Diolch, Llywydd, and I move the motion tabled in the name of my colleague, Darren Millar. This debate today is a matter of huge importance, which cuts to the very soul of our Welsh countryside—the sale of our council-owned farms. These farms are not just…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. Many people who live in my part of the world do feel that there is plenty of investment that goes in to the south Wales Valleys, but, actually, no investment into my constituency. We've got a major transport link…
