Minister, you know, representing Aberconwy, that I've often raised here with you issues around the A470, and we do have some dangerous bends and difficulties between Glan Conwy, Maenan and Llanrwst. I wrote to you in April, and you wrote back to me stating…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Well, we know even more from yesterday that the beleaguered Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board still faces some huge issues. As my colleague Darren Millar pointed out, a new report, only out yesterday from the quality, safety and experience committee…

90-second Statements
We are very fortunate today to live in a society of acceptance and kindness. People of all backgrounds and abilities are now taking part in everyday society. However, whilst this change is positive, there is more we can do. Sadly, there still exists a stigma…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Thank you. As a result of this Welsh Government's very poor settlement to Conwy County Borough Council, they now sit in a £25 million hole and are planning to hike up council tax by as much, possibly, as 11 per cent. It was the highest at 9.9 per cent last…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you, Minister. Of course, concerns have been raised with me that not a single developer has made use of the £20 million Welsh building safety loan scheme. Does that concern you? And when you think that it's now over six years on from the Grenfell…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you for that comprehensive answer. I noticed, yet again, the emphasis on the social housing, but many people who've gone out and bought properties weren't aware of this fire-cladding issue. Indeed, as I've referenced my own property where I stay here in…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Diolch, Llywydd. I'd just like to declare an interest in terms of my accommodation paid for by the Senedd Commission being one of the properties that has the fire cladding issue. Now, it is nearly a year since major developers in Wales signed up to the…

Business Statement and Announcement
Okay. I'd like to just raise a concern about the way that Arriva Bus Wales have completely cut off a village in my constituency, the ward being Penrhyn-side. They did it without warning, leaving about 450 or 500 people completely, now, feeling that they're in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing supply
Well, let's be honest, the houses are still there. And it was, in fact, in Wales where you were selling off the houses and not reinvesting. For every one house sold, you can build three. Speak to any developer. [Interruption.] The Welsh Conservative policy…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing supply
Thank you—diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns and to own property is increasingly harder for people to achieve in Wales. This is no surprise when considering that only 5,785 new dwellings were completed in 2022-23…
