Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv)—Warm This Winter campaign
Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. There's throwing down the gauntlet there, so I will do my best to keep within my time. Every winter, people die in Wales due to cold homes. Rural communities, such as my own region of Mid and West Wales, suffer from fuel and…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Good afternoon, Minister. I just want to focus on small businesses and microbusinesses, particularly in rural areas. Many of those will be Welsh speaking microbusinesses and small family firms. The RDP has helped some of those small businesses and…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip: Refugee Week, 19-25 June—Compassion
On Friday evening, I will be presenting awards to the local refugee group and the winners there of a poetry and literature competition. I'd like to praise and commend Powys County Council, as well as all of the other councils across Wales, who've welcomed so…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: The Infrastructure (Wales) Bill
I also welcome this development. Thank you so much for outlining this and also for briefing me as well. It is something where we can see that large schemes, if scrutinised effectively and managed effectively, do hold applicants and developers to the highest…

Statement by the First Minister: Raising Wales’s International Profile—An update on the Welsh Government’s international relations activity
Good afternoon, Prif Weinidog. Here I am, a broken record, having been the lone voice in the Senedd criticising your Government's decision to send a diplomatic delegation to Qatar, and I want to pick up just that particular issue. Last month, two Qatari…

Business Statement and Announcement
Good afternoon, Trefnydd. May I ask for two statements, please? The first, a statement from the Minister for Health and Social Services about the recruitment and training of dentists, and what steps are being taken to improve overseas recruitment to the…

Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Gadeirydd. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Nate, I don't know if you have anything to add to that. Thank you.

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Thank you. That's fascinating. I join with Jenny in this in that I find it incredible that, over a period of time, we haven't got a programme that works. I get we can't do RCTs, but we can do something that says, a year after programme’s finished, two years…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Thank you. So, I just really want to be clear. Domestic violence intervention project programmes have been going on for 20 years, maybe more. Is what you're saying that there isn't anything that tells us that this is the best model, the most effective model?…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Sorry, Nate, is it helpful if I just say it's not necessarily about multi-agency risk assessment conferences, or multi-agents, or multi-agency public protection arrangements? It's about those programmes that are either court-ordered or people volunteer to go…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Yes, thank you very much—diolch yn fawr iawn. Thanks for being here. I just really wanted to ask you about perpetrator transformation programmes, or as I know them, I guess, perpetrator prevention programmes. The first batch may be towards yourself, Nate, but…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 4
Okay. Thank you. So, I just wanted to ask you both a very general question, if I may. We're doing this inquiry, which is entitled 'A public health approach to gender-based violence'. I don't know if this is unfair, but I wondered if you could both just tell…

Thank you. Dr Burrell, could you just tell us how you're—. You are the academic here; we're grateful to you for your time. Could you tell us how you think we can actually look at the outcomes and see which ones are effective? And if you can give us one…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 4
Thank you very much, Chair. I wanted to ask just two questions of both of you, because we've heard, certainly from Anne-Marie, about the work that you're doing. I'm from mid Wales—great to hear about that programme you're hosting in mid Wales, but I just…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 4
Yes, may I just ask another question of Dr Burrell? I think we're really keen to get concrete ideas of what works and what doesn't work. We're here as a committee to hear really good evidence that says, 'This is good. This isn't.' I know you've done some…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 4
Thank you, Chair. It was just an additional question, really, for Dr Burrell. In your evidence, you say that there is political inertia towards this issue. Can you just try and be specific about what needs to change politically, particularly given that we are…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Full devolution of water resources
Three hundred and eighty-five billion litres of water are taken from the county I live in, Powys, a year: as we've heard, 133 billion litres from the Elan valley, and 252 million litres from Lake Vyrnwy. And I'm pleased to say that the Liberal…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Good afternoon, Minister. I note your responses to Janet Finch-Saunders, and I do think there is cross-party support for the position that you and the First Minister have taken, which is that all of the agencies are responsible for river pollution; there…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Economic Development in Mid Wales
Thank you, Minister, for the statement. There is very much to welcome in it. I just wanted to touch on two things, if I may: digital connectivity and grid capacity. So, first, digital connectivity. We know that in September 2019, only 18 per cent of homes and…
