Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
I have resisted commenting on the concerns raised to date, and I'm always wary about discussing the reform of health boards, particularly mindful of the significant disruption that reorganisation would have in the aftermath of COVID-19. Betsi is one of three…

Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform—Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales

Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform—Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales
Thank you for that intervention, and my response to you is that, actually, people in Wales know their local authority very, very well, and that's what the committee had been considering to date. That's what the discussions were focused on. There was no…

Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform—Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales
In 1997, my mother was one of the north Wales representatives on the National Assembly advisory group. She talked then—and I concede that I wasn't really paying much attention—about the importance of a real democracy for Wales. So, 25 years later, I stand…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Counsel General, good afternoon. I'd like to ask a question with regard to the UK Government's policy on sending asylum seekers potentially to Rwanda. I really wanted to concentrate on children who are incorrectly age assessed as adults. We've heard worrying…

Yes. So, specifically, you have this strategy, which is about support to people who have no recourse to public funds. In the strategy, I couldn't see anything that referred to access to refuge places for women. There are lots of other really interesting…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 2

Thank you. Just really briefly, you, I'm sure, are aware of the Scottish Government's programme for funding around no recourse to public funds, and we're actually taking evidence later from colleagues in Scotland. Could you just give us your views on…
