Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care
Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Minister, are there any Welsh Government whistleblowing investigations currently taking place or recently concluded relating to personnel in NHS Wales?

Questions to the First Minister
Well, the First Minister knows full well that we would never ever do that, and it's simply a deflection from the truth. Because I can reveal what the cost to the taxpayer would be in giving millionaires and the highest earners free childcare: it would amount…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Lywydd. First Minister, Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor, but I fear your Government is about to do the opposite. I'm afraid that cuts are being promised, Flying Start has been put on notice and £10 weekly payments for the poorest…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The defence sector
I very much welcome this debate today. I support the motion and also support many of the points raised in the amendment. Indeed, I particularly welcome the reference to the importance of respecting human rights, of upholding international law and…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Thank you. So, your motion explicitly states that you want to scrap the default speed limit, which would mean going back to 30 mph outside schools, outside hospitals, outside play areas, and then you would have to pay a fortune, using traffic regulation…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Contaminated land
Can I welcome this debate and thank those who have already spoken? There have been some powerful contributions so far. It is obviously the subject of enormous cause for concern across Wales, including in and near my constituency, and indeed in my home village…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Review of the Escalation and Intervention Framework
Minister, thanks for the update today on the review of the escalation and intervention framework. One thing that remains unclear to me is around the difference in outcome. What is the difference that you hope to achieve or would expect, and what will the new…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, it's still not enough. We've heard your concerns over many weeks about public finance, which begs the question why you'd squander public money on rebranding Flying Start if the only threat is to its name. But I'd like to turn to national…

Questions to the First Minister
Dioch, Lywydd. First Minister, there is mounting uncertainty over the future of Flying Start, amplified this week when councils across Wales were told different things about its future. Can you confirm whether today's Flying Start programme has a future under…

Statement by the First Minister: 'New Ambition for Wales: Programme for Government 2026-2030'
First Minister, can I also thank you for your statement today and congratulate you on publishing your programme for government? This, of course, is the first non-Welsh Labour-led programme for government this Senedd has seen, and we aim to respond to it in a…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, the £9 million that you refer to was before the UK Government budget. Once the UK Government budget had taken place and confirmation that more than £300 million was made available, the then education Minister, Lynne Neagle, was planning to…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, today we remember the deaths of hundreds of people in the Gresford mining disaster. It was a horrific disaster that devastated the community, and I'm sure you, First Minister, will also remember those who died. More than 260 bodies were…

Questions to the Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport
Thank you, Minister. Creative Wales has been a magnificent success, driving growth across the creative industries for a good number of years now, and, importantly, driving up the number of decent job opportunities, particularly for young creatives in Wales…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I agree it is not acceptable and health visitors should have had justice within the first 100 days of your Government being elected. Yes, you've inherited this challenge, but during the election many of your Members were telling those health…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. First Minister, obviously building a progressive alliance means working together in common cause, but signing a memorandum of disunity with those who wish to break up and ruin the United Kingdom will only please people like Donald Trump and Vladimir…

Debate: The First Supplementary Budget 2026-27
This is beneath you, finance Minister, it truly is. It truly is. And I wish that you would focus more on negotiations than attacks, I really do, because you may be more successful in getting future budgets through this Senedd.

Debate: The First Supplementary Budget 2026-27
I can predict what you're going to say now, but just let me read what your leader said in March 2025 in response to the then finance Minister, Mark Drakeford. 'The Cabinet Secretary is suggesting that by voting against a flawed budget as a whole, Plaid Cymru…

Statement by the First Minister: Legislation
Diolch, Lywydd, especially for that kind and polite reminder of bringing announcements like this first to the Senedd. First Minister, there are many aspects to welcome, I believe, in this statement, but I would appreciate clarity on a number of points. It was…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. Of course, the risk with it being cross-government is that no single Minister actually holds on to the responsibility. Now, that was the distinct advantage of having a Minister for north Wales. This week, the Welsh Government has…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. First Minister, over the past few days, a crisis developed, the like of which I fear we will see again and again. Homes were evacuated, schools were closed, hundreds of acres of land were scorched and businesses hit during the north Wales wildfires…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Point of order. During First Minister's questions, the First Minister referenced the inheritance of hundreds of millions of pounds in overspend. Could the Record be reviewed to check that that was indeed what was said, and, if so, be corrected, due to the…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, you said what needs to be done, what we need to avoid doing. Clearly what we need to avoid doing is abdicating responsibility for the most vulnerable children in Wales, and that is exactly what your Government is doing by refusing to allocate…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, that money that you say has been found actually came from the UK Labour Government, and it came as a result of increased investment in ALN, or SEN as it is in England. In 2024, your party said that schools are forced to make difficult…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Health and care winter 2026-27 preparedness
Minister, can I thank you for your statement? I commend you for bringing the statement forward so early. I think it would be very helpful if your colleagues, particularly those in delivery portfolios, could do so as well. I think winter resilience and adverse…
