Plaid Cymru Debate: Child poverty and educational attainment
Plaid Cymru do, but you've been let down by your bedfellows, haven't you, on that one. It's interesting to see what sort of coalition you actually have, isn't it?

Plaid Cymru Debate: Child poverty and educational attainment
Diolch, Llywydd. I would like to move those amendments, tabled in the name of Darren Millar. Today's debate is an important one, and I relish the chance, for the second time today, to shine a light on Welsh Labour's decades-long failures, supported of course…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Programme for International Student Assessment results
This Government are failing to retain teachers. We see a huge loss of teachers within the first five years of them qualifying. With these fundamental failures, I find it remarkable that the Minister feels that he is the best man for the job to be the next…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
I'm glad to hear you're so supportive of women and girls in sport. I've been a bit concerned with some of the comments that you've made recently on that, because of the absolute importance that women and girls have their own changing rooms and have their own…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Minister, it's been several months now since the introduction of the 20 mph blanket speed limit, a measure forced on the Welsh public. [Interruption.] It caused outrage right across the board. Nearly 0.5 million people were motivated—[Interruption.] Half a…

Debate on a Statement: The Draft Budget 2024-25
Thank you for your statement, Minister. It's good to have the opportunity to speak in this debate, but, once again, I find myself speaking in another budget debate having to talk about cuts to Welsh education. It beggars belief when the sector is crying out…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, in the summer the UK Labour Party finally u-turned and abandoned its support for self ID, after realising the profound impact it would have on fundamental women's rights. It's a world away from your stance on the issue here in Wales, where you…

Thank you. Okay, moving on to public sector pay, Minister. How have you accounted for increases in public sector pay awards and the real living wage in your budget, compared to the original assumptions back in 2021, and how will you manage the impact if pay…

Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Minister. Just quickly—before I ask my other question, which will move on to climate change—just on apprenticeships: we still are far behind the rest of the UK, every corner of the UK, in terms of the apprenticeships that we…

Thank you, Minister. It's all about priorities, isn't it? The co-operation agreement has been in place now for two years. Where in this draft budget can we see the impact of the agreement in terms of the allocations, and how did the agreement feed into your…

Thank you, Chair. You talk about the NHS, of course, and we see sticking-plaster solutions for previous cuts to the health budget from this Government, but what is clear is that you're cutting the preventative measures, as has just been outlined in terms of…

Sorry, just a technical point. Apparently, this session can't be viewed outside Tŷ Hywel. Sorry, Chair—I just wanted to inform you of that.

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Evidence session 1
You talk of rises in the NHS, which of course, I think, will be welcomed across parties, of course, and everyone in Wales, but when you look at the £500 million that you haven't invested in the past, and being the only county in the UK to cut the health…
