Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
I seem to be the only Member at the moment, though, actually making these declarations. As you know, Minister, there are thousands of empty properties that could be made into lovely homes. The Leasing Scheme Wales programme provides support to landlords…

I refer Members to my declaration of interest in terms of property ownership, and I understand I'm not the only one who should be declaring. As you know, Minister, there are thousands—

Plaid Cymru Debate: Child poverty and educational attainment
Thank you. I really agree with many of the points you make, but you've probably heard me numerous times here mentioning my absolute frustration and upset about the fact that so many children now are living in temporary accommodation, such as hotels and B&Bs…

I'd like to thank our colleague Jack for bringing this again to the floor of this Senedd and for all the comments, because it's nice and heartening to see that we're all united. We've all been affected by this in terms of even people we didn't know, watching…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Breast is best. Breastfed babies have a lower risk of asthma, obesity, type 1 diabetes and sudden infant death syndrome. Breastfed babies are also less likely to have ear infections and stomach bugs. However, not all new mums can achieve this, and they do…

Debate on a Statement: The Draft Budget 2024-25
You talk about financial incompetence; do you have any of your constituents living in hotel rooms, B&Bs? And if you do, do you think that's a good use of public money? I don't. I believe that homes should be built for those.

Debate on a Statement: The Draft Budget 2024-25
I didn't say that. I said those who can't, fair enough, but there are people who can afford it. I would imagine that anybody here whose children go to school can afford to pay for their school meals. [Interruption.] As the official opposition in this Senedd…

Amgueddfa Cymru have had their funding cut—£2 million—funding for the National Library of Wales cut from £11.8 million to £11.1 million, Cadw from £9.2 million to £7.4 million. There's more. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of…

I'll refer Members to a declaration of interest in terms of land and property ownership. So, here we are, once again. This is a draft budget in which Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru will cause direct harm to the fabric of our nation, just like the blanket 20 mph…

Blwyddyn newydd dda. Trefnydd, could I have a statement from you, please, in your capacity as rural affairs Minister about the razor clam harvesting ban in Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr? And can I, again, put on record my thanks to you? It was actually…

Welsh Conservatives' Debate: Agriculture
We move on to lamb. I've raised this several times. The average shelf life for Welsh lamb is now 36.5 days, whereas New Zealand remains the global standard with over 60 days for vacuum-packed chilled lamb and up to 110 days for carbon dioxide gas-flushed…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
He called the previous Prime Minister a liar. [Interruption.] This is appalling conduct.

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Well, I actually would ask, as a matter of some respect for our proceedings here, whether the Counsel General will withdraw those words—'liar', 'corruption' and 'corrupt'.

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Okay. So, today, now, the Counsel General has used the words 'liar', 'corruption' and 'corrupt' about other politicians and other political parties. We have people in the audience, in the public gallery. We also have people, I hope, watching this on…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you. As our colleague Jane Dodds has already mentioned, Professor Laura McAllister has already said that the closed list system puts too much power in the hands of parties, with voters choosing between them instead of candidates. To quote her, she says…
