Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: ministerial evidence session
Thank you, Minister. I'm aware that my colleague Altaf Hussain may have a question before I come in, if I may defer to him.

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: ministerial evidence session
Yes. Thank you very much. As you've heard, we took a lot of evidence from organisations and from individuals around those individuals who did not have any access to public funds. That was volunteered by them, we didn't ask, but they raised it continuously in…

May I just really double-check here? We took a lot of evidence from organisations and from individuals around the category of no recourse to public funds. So, just to be really, really clear, if I may, Minister, that the Welsh NHS will charge where those…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: ministerial evidence session
Thank you. It’s an issue concerning women who are due to give birth or require maternity services, and it’s just being clear about whether there is a charging regime, or any kind of sense that people are needing to consider funding when they don’t have that…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: ministerial evidence session
Sorry. We heard, in terms of some of the evidence from people affected by violence who had children, that, actually, the response from social services was quite negative and quite punitive, in that many of them were saying that they had heard their children…

It's really a question linking the two, if I may, to the Minister for Health and Social Services. The 'Ask for ANI' posters, I've seen, but I'm not aware of them being in different languages—community languages, for example—but maybe they are. I wonder if you…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Thank you. Very quickly, there are two things I want to just really focus in on. We're aware of the issues around women experiencing violence, but we really want to focus in on migrant women and the additional challenges that they face, and I think one of the…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Thank you. A very, very quick, brief question, and then I'm going to hand over, because we've got very limited time. I guess I'm really much more interested in what your expectations are of your police officers when they go to a situation where you have a…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Thank you very much. I'm really interested in the practical issues here, because the police are often the first on the scene when there is an incident. Could you tell us what difference there is between a police response to a woman who's experienced violence…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Good afternoon. It's lovely to have you with us. My questions relate to the support that the police offer to victims of gender-based violence, particularly focusing in on those who are from migrant backgrounds. Could you explain to us what the difference is…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report: Annual Report on Natural Resources Wales
Thank you, Jenny. A really good point. Intensive poultry units have been granted planning permission in Powys, and I have, for a number of months, well before the new administration in Powys took control, been asking for the cumulative effect of IPUs on our…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report: Annual Report on Natural Resources Wales
Because I wanted to focus on rivers, and we've heard from both Huw and Delyth and Llyr about rivers. I want to just briefly mention the River Wye, which is in the region that I cover. It continues to deteriorate, along with the River Usk, which is in a…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Good afternoon, Minister. Last week, I hosted a vigil to mark five years since 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, and many more people lost their homes as well. I was grateful to all the Members of the Senedd and campaigners who joined us…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
Yes. Thank you, Chair. This may be a very quick 'yes'/'no' answer. Minister, do you anticipate bringing back statements or debates on the Bill to the Senedd? Will that be something that you're programming in in terms of the Bill? Thank you.

Thank you. My final point does relate to those model clauses. I thought that point was very interesting. Do you have a timescale of when you'd be able to produce those model clauses? And would it be something that the committee would be able to have a look…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
Thank you. I do have another question, but I just really wanted to follow up on that last point, if I may. My understanding is that, what you seem to be saying is that, if there is a choice or a decision made that you don't apply those particular requirements…

Thank you, Chair. I have actually asked some of the questions that I wanted to ask at the beginning. So, I just wondered if I could talk about one aspect that I touched on in the earlier session, which was about the construction industry. And one of the areas…

The Chair may have spotted this, but Zain wanted to make a point, I understand, in relation to Ken's points, and we haven't heard from him yet. It would be good to hear your perspective, Zain, as well. If that's all right, Chair. Thank you.

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
Yes, if I may. I don't want to spend too long on this. You started, Minister, by talking about consistency and clarity in this Bill, so I'm just a little bit unsure how it's amended or what decisions are made, how they're made, if you do want to change it…
