Reform UK Debate: Access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals
Before I begin, can I just say that the huge numbers of people who put these Members in these seats to represent their views need to have those views heard? Because you don't like them doesn't mean to say that those views are irrelevant. There have been…

Debate: Fiscal Reform
Yes, certainly. I'll do that now. That is what fiscal reform in Wales needs, not another Government asking taxpayers to dig into their pockets, but a Government prepared to look into its own pockets first. That is the difference—

Debate: Fiscal Reform
Yes, certainly. Our Welsh manifesto sets out a cost-neutral programme, cutting waste and funding additional expenditure, rather than assuming that every new priority requires additional funding or borrowing. We set out our fiscal approach clearly. If we want…

Debate: Fiscal Reform
Well, here we go again: Labour and Plaid Cymru lecturing this Senedd on fiscal reform, which, to many of my constituents, will be somewhat like Bonnie and Clyde asking to look after the bank over lunch time. Whilst you admire the confidence, I wouldn't give…

Diolch, Lywydd. I thank Claire for bringing forward this important debate today, and thank you to all Members that have remained to hear it. For older people living across Ceredigion Penfro, access to healthcare must not become a postcode lottery. At the last…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
Thank you to Anna for the question. Deputy First Minister, on 22 September the First Minister told the Senedd that Cynnal was going to be piloted and it is happening, yet your programme for government says that you will 'seek to' pilot Cynnal. The distinction…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you to Paul Davies for the question. First Minister, 35 per cent of Ceredigion households and 23 per cent in Pembrokeshire rely on oil heating, among the highest rates in Wales. Public Health Wales warns that cold homes increase cardiovascular and…

Reform UK Debate: Grooming gangs
My daughter had a family that would have done anything for her. For a long time, she did not ask us; she was ashamed. The shame belonged entirely to the man who harmed her, but knowing that as a parent does not mean that you can make your child feel it as…

Reform UK Debate: Grooming gangs
Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. I'd like to move today's motion submitted in the name of my colleague Llŷr Powell, Reform UK. Members of the Chamber, three years ago today, my daughter was held against her will and raped. I say this with her agreement; I will not…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health: Priorities for Public and Preventative Health
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your statement, and welcome to your role. Minister, everyone agrees that prevention is better than cure, but prevention only works if people can actually access the services they need. In west rural Wales, too many residents…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, Reform UK makes no apology for supporting increased investment in Britain's armed forces at a time of growing global instability. National defence is the first duty of any Government, so, rather than blaming Westminster for difficult spending…

Reform UK Debate: The tourism sector
I rise today to address yet another example of Welsh Government introducing policy without fully understanding the consequences. I refer to the 182-day occupancy requirement for self-catering accommodation providers. The policy was supposed to help tackle…

Reform UK Debate: A Welsh Rivers Act
Can I start by thanking two people? First of all, Laura Anne Jones, for holding this debate, and Janet for bringing the debate back to the debate rather than using this as a platform for political point scoring. Members of this Senedd, I recently met with…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Finance
Thank you to the Members for the original questions. What assessment has the Welsh Government made of whether council tax premiums and land transaction surcharges on second homes are actually increasing the availability and the affordability of housing for…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution
May I also add my congratulations to the Minister on his appointment, and may I thank the Member for his question? Minister, I'm quite sure that I speak for many other people across Wales when I say that, rather than looking for further devolved powers—and I…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
Minister, illegal fly-tipping in my constituency of Ceredigion Penfro continues to escalate at an alarming rate. This is not just an environmental issue, it is an economic one. The area that I represent depends heavily on tourism, with visitors drawn…
