Debate on the Petitions Committee Report, 'The Final Bend? P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales'
I'd like to thank Hefin David for making the point that any closure of the track can impact on residents. So, would he agree with me that, probably, instead of going for the nuclear option of banning dog racing in Wales, we should look at regulation first…

Debate on the Petitions Committee Report, 'The Final Bend? P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales'
I'd like to thank Delyth Jewell for her contribution, but I'd just like to remind people in the Chamber about making generalised statements about people who keep greyhounds. Not every greyhound owner is a poor owner; some people really do care about their…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you for that answer, Minister. You've said, and other Ministers have said, on a number of occasions that the Government bought this site in order to secure the future of the Green Man Festival. However, it has come to light that the agreement that your…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I'd like a statement from yourself, in your role as the rural affairs Minister, about the attacks that we're seeing on sheep by dogs in our communities. I've seen on Facebook in my own patch this week two sheep that have died from poor owners…

Yes, diolch.

I wouldn't be surprised with the Welsh Government. [Laughter.]

Okay, lovely. I need to correct the Record. I said '(Wales) Act 2026', it's actually 2006. Thank you. [Laughter.]

You did mention, Minister, when all this comes to fruition and everything goes smoothly, that you want everything to be viewed through the NHS (Wales) Act, but this does depend on legislation.gov being updated very, very quickly. It's not always the case. How…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Thank you. Given that the new section 10(8) of the national health service (Wales) Act 2026 as inserted by the Bill requires the Welsh Ministers to publish the statutory guidance required by that provision, where will this be published?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Okay.

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
I'll take the wider role, on the part of accessibility now. So, the heading of the new section 116A of the Procurement Act 2023, as inserted by section 2 of this Bill, reads as follows: '116A Power to disapply this Act in relation to procurement by NHS in…

Some examples of what they are.

Do you have an idea of what they are now, what those—this says 'very narrow'—areas are going to be? Do you know what they are?

PPE. Food.

So, you're not—. Right, okay. That's fine.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
So, NHS Wales does not procure food, then?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Yes, I just want to talk a little bit about the UK internal market Act, if that's all right, because this is health service, isn't it, and it's devolved under reserved matters. But what about food, the procurement of food within the NHS? Because you could…

I'm worried about divergence there.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
I have an issue about regulation being slightly different across the border. As the Minister will know, the area that I represent, which is right on the border in Powys, has a procuring health board that actually procures services in England. If there are…

Okay. Righty-ho. Diolch, Cadeirydd.

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Good. Okay. And the final question, Cadeirydd: in response to the inclusion of the corresponding correction power for England in the Health and Care Act 2020, the Delegated Power and Regulatory Reform Committee of the House of Lords stated the following: 'We…
