Reform UK Debate: A Welsh Rivers Act
I didn't realise you were going to go on from sewage pollution. The River Tawe, which runs through your constituency—and acts as a border between your constituency and my constituency now—has very serious problems with the Trebanos pumping station and the…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Finance
What would you replace the Barnett formula with? We know that Wales gets 10 per cent more than England on total expenditure, including HS2. We know, in devolved areas, Wales gets 20 per cent more than England for the same responsibilities. How much more does…

Questions to the Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport
Yesterday, I visited Penyrheol school in my constituency, and I was talking to the children there. They were talking about the fact that from November to March, you could play, at best, once every three weeks. At worst, you'll go months without playing. It…

Questions to the Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport
Thank you, Presiding Officer. I believe in the importance of team sports, as somebody who used to take part. It is important for learning teamwork, improving health, and developing friendships. My grandson plays both football and rugby at under-nine level in…

Questions to the First Minister
The economy of Gŵyr Abertawe cannot be looked at in isolation from Carmarthenshire and Neath Port Talbot. What type of economy do you want in the area? I want one based upon life sciences, computing and ICT. These are high-paid and innovative sectors capable…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution
Policing is one of the anomalies in the current devolution settlement. I led a debate back in 2013—it seems a long time ago now—that succeeded in this Chamber, calling for the devolution of policing. It didn't get very far, but it did get the majority's…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution
I have consistently argued for the devolution of rail funding. Asymmetric devolution has not worked. It hasn't worked in Britain, it hasn't worked in Spain. It is important that rail funding is devolved. The main question is how should the funding be…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that answer, First Minister. As you know, in Wales, like most of western Europe, we have an ageing population, over half the Welsh Government's expenditure is on health and social care, and we have long waiting lists for hospital treatment. We…

Questions to the First Minister
It's lovely to be discussing the Swansea economy. The engineering supply chain within the Swansea bay city region has been particularly hard hit by the reduction in steel production at Tata Steel in Port Talbot. Can the First Minister explain, given the…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning: Priorities for Local Government, Housing and Planning
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm a member of the Co-operative Party. I was very disappointed to see no mention of co-operative housing. Under a housing co-operative tenure, members are co-operative in the collective power to manage the accommodation…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning: Priorities for Local Government, Housing and Planning
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm not actually the spokesperson on this. Jayne Bryant is, so I think perhaps you might want to call Jayne Bryant now and call me later on.

I congratulate Swansea Council on the work being done on resurfacing roads in Swansea. Climate change is leading to flooding and potholes. Following water penetration on roads, the water freezes, which causes the surface to break up, causing potholes. Not…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy Priorities
A question, really, probably in three parts. The first one is: what use of artificial intelligence to improve productivity is planned? The second one is: how will the Minister support computing and life science departments in universities so the spin-offs…
