Questions to the Senedd Commission
I appreciate the Llywydd's answer on the Commission's position there. Llywydd, for this review that's taking place with smartglasses, could you confirm whether you're going to be reaching out to charities right now? A lot of them have come forward, like the…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Thank you for that answer, Minister. In September, more than 300 pupils in the Caerphilly borough lost their free school transport because, as the council said, they fall within the two-mile measurement of the Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008. Now, the…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
Minister, one concern I've got, from speaking to lots of people in the constituency, who feel young people are leaving the area of Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni at a large pace now. We can see that the population age is going up in every census, and anyone…

Business Statement and Announcement
Could I have a statement from the Trefnydd and the Welsh Government on what efforts are being taken to address rough-sleeping and homelessness in Wales? As we're coming into the winter time, it's becoming very concerning about how many people are sleeping out…

Business Statement and Announcement
I'd be grateful if, when budget deals or statements are made in the future, that they're made to the Chamber, and not to the press in advance. But on to—. I request a statement, if possible, Trefnydd, from the Minister for education, based on AI and coding…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
Thank you, Llywydd. But on the point, right now, out there, what are we sending to the people of Wales that this place does? With an issue where they step forward and tell us they're concerned about something, that we say, 'It's not our responsibility here.'…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
Is this an intervention or a contribution here, Llywydd? Is this an intervention or a contribution? Because so far, you had an opportunity to speak in this debate, but only one of your Members chose to stand up in the 60-minute debate to contribute. That's…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
Well, no, the amendment there right now is saying that WRU have actually consulted people on the outside and they continue doing so. I've spoken to stakeholders in this. They haven't felt consulted. We're hearing from people in the industry that are saying…

Yes, you can, by all means.

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
How? That is the headline under which the party put out a press release there, and today you're saying you can't do anything about it. I think that is an integrity issue right there, absolutely. Rugby is so much more important, and the WRU have hidden at…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
I think, Minister, the role we have to play is the same as when Tata was going under. We stepped in to protect jobs. We saw the Welsh Government bringing them to the table, taking action. That's what I want to see from the Welsh Government. Time and time…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
Diolch, Deputy Llywydd. I want to thank all Members who've contributed to what is an important debate. As Members have said in this Chamber, rugby is a lot more. I know that the Minister, in her response, said that she doesn't want to dictate sport, but the…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. I agree with you. Sport can have a huge impact on the economy, as we've seen in places like Swansea—when they made the Premier League, tens of millions of pounds put into the economy there—and here in Cardiff, when they were a part…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Apologies, I did name him, so he came to respond, probably. I'm sure he wasn't looking to break any rules. In closing, I urge Members today to support our motion in getting Wales moving again. Diolch yn fawr.

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
You didn't answer what I was addressing, your top-down approach, Ken. Let's get back to your true devolution. But, in terms of schools, I went through education under Labour Governments consecutively here. There wasn't 30 mph outside my school when I was…

Absolutely. I want to hear this one.
, Plenary
Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Diolch, Lywydd. As I was saying, we heard also from the benches opposite about how some councils hadn't reversed the decision. Maybe, because of the state that Labour left councils in, with a lack of funds, they simply can't afford it. Some people don't want…

Reform UK Debate: Default 20 mph speed limit
Diolch, Lywydd. Well, those local authorities next year will be tested on that, if that's what the response was, because we'll be looking forward to taking this issue back out onto the doorstep and letting the people of Wales decide whether this was a good or…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
I thank the Minister for the answer there. The other concern that people are passing to me in terms of post office closures—whether it's Caerphilly or throughout the constituency—is, once the post office closes, it's the lack of being able to get ID…
