Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: An Update on Higher Education
Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, it's very positive to see—[Inaudible.]—the advisory group, but one thing I'd like to know from you—. Obviously, there will be recommendations that come out of that and that will obviously come with resource implications, so I'd just…

Questions to the First Minister
I'd like to thank the First Minister for his answer. Since Bute Energy and Green GEN Cymru's proposals to erect 60 miles of pylons across my constituency, I've been inundated with e-mails from constituents who are very concerned about the scheme. As you said…

Short Debate: The rural way of life: Shooting and its benefit to the environment and the economy
But not only this, shooting contributes to the rural way of life and goes even further into the economic sphere. Let's have a look at the figures: shooting activities in Wales contribute £75 million to the economy, and research shows that there are 2,900…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Minister, nurse recruitment is something that's actually really important to me, and I've talked to you on a number of occasions about getting more access for nurses to come into the NHS. When my mother was a nurse starting off in the NHS, she went from a…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
I'd like to thank the Minister for that answer. Minister, the UK Government signed a new trade deal with New Zealand, and part of that was extending the working holiday visa up to 35. I firmly believe that growing the skills of young people is giving them the…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Dental Reform
I’m not going to go over what other people have said, Minister, but I want to pick something out of your statement that I think is very positive and I think it’s around children and the pilot that you’re doing in Blaenau Ffestiniog of bringing the mobile…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Minister, I've said in this Chamber on a number of occasions that I want to see brand new Welsh-medium schools right across Wales, and I'd especially like to see them in Brecon and Radnorshire. I'd like to know what assessment the Welsh Government has done on…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Minister, we do have a heart over here, and we do hear what you say, but it is the job of the Welsh Government. Housing is a wholly devolved matter and, as my colleagues have said, 22,000 homes are empty across Wales. So, we think it’s about time that the…

President of Welsh Tribunals: Annual Report 2021-22
Yes, I'll ask you one question on that—I'll roll them into one in the interests of time. So, what impact could the new retirement regime have on the capacity of Welsh tribunals, and how will the new role of the Welsh president in authorising applications to…

Do you think, with it going down, that there is a risk that people may not be able to access justice—they're not quite sure how to access the justice?

President of Welsh Tribunals: Annual Report 2021-22
Okay, because we've seen in other areas, haven't we—the Educational Tribunal for Wales, the Welsh Language Tribunal—that cases have significantly decreased. So, what work have you done with those tribunals to understand why the decreases are there? And do you…

President of Welsh Tribunals: Annual Report 2021-22
Okay, thank you very much. I just want to move on slightly, if that's okay, to the agricultural land tribunals. We've seen quite a significant increase in cases there between April and December 2022. Why do you think that is, and has this been maintained…

President of Welsh Tribunals: Annual Report 2021-22
Lovely. I want to move on, because obviously the Welsh Tribunals service is relocating to Powys County Council offices. What impact do you think that might have, considering that that organisation might be subject to cases against it? How does it maintain…
