Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. Our carers face financial challenges, as we know. Many of them work full time, and then care on top of that; some have had to give up their roles and work part time, but financial issues are a real challenge for our unpaid…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS Dentistry
Eighteen months ago, I launched a survey of residents in Mid and West Wales, to look at their experiences of dentistry, and I extended that 12 months ago to people in Wales, to do that via our website. These are just a couple of cases that I wanted to…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report—'Women’s experiences in the criminal justice system'
I would also like to extend my thanks to the Chair, to my committee members, and the Nelson Trust, who are here this afternoon—diolch yn fawr iawn. You have everything stacked against you. You're poor. You're in terrible housing. You've experienced the toxic…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Public Order Act—Implications for Wales
Minority Report is a science-fiction film released in 2002, starring Tom Cruise. In essence, it's about predictive crime—the role of preventive government in protecting its citizens—and that's exactly what we have in the Public Order Act. It is an Act that…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on Bus Services
Thank you very much for your statement, and thank you, also, for being very upfront in terms of what we can afford and what we can’t, and I agree with much of what you’ve said. We do need a culture change, and that’s down to all of us, isn’t it? Maybe we…

Good afternoon, Minister. I'd like to request a written statement from the Minister for Climate Change confirming the results of an investigation into the cessation of mining activity at Ffos-y-fran. While the Welsh Government has committed to a manged end to…

Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. I do want to follow up, really, and I can hear my colleagues over there talking about Dŵr Cymru. The Dŵr Cymru chief executive, in the last financial year, was paid £332,000 as a salary. I do understand that the chief executive…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 3
Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 3
Thank you very much. And the second question, and the final one, is: you've referred in your evidence to 'Our Watch Australia' as an example of a public health approach to evidence-based prevention that is effective. Could I just ask: how relevant is that…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 3
Thank you very much. I just have two questions. The first question is: the violence prevention unit in Public Health Wales has published a review exploring what works to prevent violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence, and a framework for…

So, earlier intervention. Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 3
Yes, that's fine. So, you're talking about a child-in-need assessment being much more focused, and really much more about agencies working together.

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 3
Thank you. I'm grateful because I know that time is very, very short here. You mentioned there, Yasmin, about a joint support plan, and I just really wonder, as there seems to be lots of joint-agency working, for example, multi-agency risk assessment…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 2
Thank you very much, Chair, and good afternoon to both of you. And thank you for attending this committee meeting this afternoon. You've talked a lot about the questions I wanted to raise. But I just have one question, if that's okay, focusing on the…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Sort of. I mean, I guess we're very interested to know what the Welsh Government could be doing more in order to, for example, engage with businesses and public transport et cetera. But it sounds as if you're saying there's not much happening but recognising…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Thank you very much, and thank you for attending the committee meeting. One other gap that the committee has experienced, outwith the public sphere and the governmental sphere, is the business world—the night-time economy, for example, and transport providers…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal—High-rise building safety
We have been here many times before, and I'm sure the Minister must be a tad frustrated that we are returning to it again, but it is the case that it is an issue that has not gone away, and/or it is that people are not having the communications that recognise…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you so much, Minister. It's pleasing to hear the promising early feedback surrounding the basic income pilot for care leavers, especially comments from you noting that we're already beginning to see the benefits of the scheme. I remember, as well, the…

Group 8: Agricultural Tenancies (Amendments 63, 5A, 5, 64, 65, 37)
Thank you, again, to Sam Kurtz for moving these amendments. Currently, around 30 per cent of total land farmed in Wales is rented, and if this once-in-a-generation legislation fails to recognise that, then this legislation will fail to work for Wales. I…

Group 6: Multi-annual Support Plans (Amendment 42)
Thank you to Mabon for moving this amendment. A long-term multi-annual commitment to funding is needed, that sets out the direction of travel over the funding period, and sets out exactly how the funding package will reflect the ambition of the legislation…

Group 5: Sustainable Land Management Reporting (Amendments 40, 41)
Llywydd, I'm grateful to Mabon, and, of course, Sam, once again, for bringing these amendments, but particularly Mabon for amendments 40 and 41. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to put on record my support for these amendments. Again, it's an important…

I'll be speaking to amendment 38, which is tabled in my name, and I'm very grateful to Sam for his gracious support for something that, obviously, he thought about and had, perhaps, put into the ether. Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn. I do welcome…
