Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
Well, as a proud unionist here, the United Kingdom works well when it's all working together. That's Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. That is the best way for our United Kingdom to work, together and not divided. [Interruption.] I thought…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
Well, maybe. Yes, go on, then.

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
It had its own law system before the rest of the United Kingdom. Scotland's had its own, and so I think that argument isn't very relevant to this; it is a different kettle of fish that you're talking about. But I do think that devolving these areas does risk…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolved powers and funding
Well, Scotland had the devolution of policing long before, and actually its own criminal justice system long before as well, so the system is slightly different.

Social housing supply: Evidence session 10
Okay, lovely, and my final question—I'm rattling through them here. Talking about land ownership, as I said before, there are vast swathes of land out there that are owned by public bodies and actually no-one has a clue who owns half of them. The place where…

That's fine. Just out of interest then, in England they had Homes England, which is at arm's length from Government, which is a delivery arm to build homes. Do you think we need something similar here in Wales?

There are other people around the table who know better than I, but the land division in Welsh Government should be doing this work currently, shouldn't they? When land does become available, they should be the ones who are telling people that there's a…

Social housing supply: Evidence session 10

I could see that being a problem. I think certain people running for elected office in other parts of the world have used some of their criminal elements to further their own political campaigns. Another element that does concern me—and it's something I've…
