Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
Thank you. I think your comments are very welcome there. You seem to be totally committed to actually listening to farmers, which, I'm afraid to say, is not what the last Government did. It was far more environmentalists, rather than farmers who are actually…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, when I was first elected to this place in 2003, bovine TB was a huge problem for Welsh farmers. In fact, it was one of the most urgent, pressing problems in Welsh agriculture. Fast forward nearly 25 years and it still is. The lack of progress in…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education
Cabinet Secretary, the Welsh Government should be ashamed of itself that Wales lies at the bottom of nearly every education league table out there. It is an appalling state of affairs, including PISA, as has already been said. There can be many things…

Trefnydd, I would like to ask for a statement on gender guidance currently operating in Welsh schools and whether this Government intends to reverse it. There has been uproar recently, as you know, about new guidance being released in England allowing…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, oh, the irony: I feel like I should almost declare an interest this morning as someone who spent the morning in a garage in Monmouth, ironically from a tyre blowout from a pothole. Roads in Wales seem to have more holes than your Government's…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, your Welsh Government's programme for government and your co-operation agreement with Plaid Cymru were meant to deliver improvements for the people of Wales. You promised a more prosperous and equal Wales, but what have Plaid Cymru and you…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
Cabinet Secretary, the 182-day rule has been an absolute disaster for many self-catering businesses and tourism across Wales. On top of everything that Labour are doing to punish businesses across our country, businesses have closed down, jobs have been lost…

Debate: The Final Budget 2026-27
No, I won't. Across rural Wales councils are being squeezed and farmers are ignored once again. Year after year, Labour and Plaid have signed off budgets that steadily erode the support for the sector that puts food—high-quality first-class food—on our…

Debate: The Final Budget 2026-27
Cabinet Secretary, Wales deserves better than this budget. However much the Conservatives that are left remain in complete denial in their little bubble, the reality is clear—although if you speak out, you might be chucked out—Britain is broken, and Wales is…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: NHS Waiting Times
Whilst of course we welcome any improvement, I think many are still waiting up to and very close to that two years. I think we're far from being at a point where we can pat ourselves on the back for the improvements made when lots of people are still waiting…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Cabinet Secretary, I too have been made aware of this petition, which I found quite shocking, that has now been signed by 4,000 people and rising. It is absolutely essential that we hit that 80 per cent target, and I'm sure that the Cabinet Secretary will…

Statement by the Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing: Women’s Health Hubs
Thank you for your statement, Minister. This is very welcome. I think it will make a big difference. From my own experience of going through the menopause, I know how difficult it can be to access timely, consistent and informed support in healthcare, with…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I can't believe that I am having to stand here again and ask you for a statement on this, but, on 16 April last year, the UK Supreme Court ruled that, in the Equality Act 2010 the words 'man', 'woman' and 'sex' mean biological sex. The ruling is…
