I will be speaking on amendments 5 and 6, tabled in my name, but, before I start, can I thank the Minister for her engagement throughout this process with me personally and other colleagues across the Chamber? It's been really helpful and welcome, and I do…

Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Progress on Gender Budgeting
Can I thank you, Minister, for your statement? I think initiatives like gender budgeting can be very useful to help analyse the different impact that policies can have on different genders. We know that whilst gender equality has improved over time, there are…

Statement by the First Minister: The Legislative Programme
Yes, sorry. So, First Minister, can I please urge that you consider how you can work together with me to bring about the changes we all need to see, and the many stakeholders across Wales that I've engaged with have asked for? Thank you.

Statement by the First Minister: The Legislative Programme
Thank you, First Minister, for your statement. I didn't realise we were short on time on this one, but I'll try to be brief. I think, as Adam Price pointed out, there is a Bill that is missing—that's the environmental governance Bill, which I think would be a…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you, Minister, for that response, and I refer Members to my declaration of interest as a farmer myself. As a Minister, you've stated the Welsh Government has introduced some welcome initiatives to retain young people and, it looks like, hopefully, some…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Minister, as you pointed out, we know you've invested or will be investing £200 million and £25 million capital to address kitchens and facilities upgrades, and I know there is still some anxiety that that may not be enough, but I take it that those issues…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Basic Income for Care Leavers Pilot
Thank you, Minister, for the statement. I'm not trying to make any political points here. I have some grave concerns about this. As a corporate parent for 25 years through the local government sector, I do believe there is far more that local authorities can…

Thank you, First Minister, for that response. Last week, I met with two constituents, who are also parents of Down syndrome children, who run a local charity that supports young people with Down syndrome from across much of south Wales. It was highlighted…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The transport network
To conclude, Llywydd, I urge Members to vote for our unamended motion before us today. There's no doubt about it, the structure that we have and the network that we have at the moment is not fit for purpose. We need to get from where we are now to the…

Sorry about that, James.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The transport network
Minister, you will be pleased that we don't disagree with you on that, and we will continue to make that position clear from our benches. But a Government should not continue to divest itself of responsibilities from areas and blame somebody else all the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The transport network
Thank you, Tom Giffard. Sadly, in my 12 months here in this place, I've tended to hear regularly that, where we get into a difficult spot, it's always somebody else's fault. Now, being the leader of an administration myself for many years, the buck had to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The transport network
Well, you referenced the rail service and the current strikes, but you're not comprehending some of the questions Gareth put back to you, or the wider issues of the rural community. You focused very clearly on that one area, and I'm trying to point out that…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thanks very much, Minister, for that response. It seems funny, on a beautiful sunny day, to be thinking about flooding, but, Minister, you'll know very well that, over the past few years, communities across Monmouthshire have experienced some devastating…

Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 3
I'm conscious we're moving off from the topics a little, but are we saying, then, that inter-governmental relationships are at a very, very—they're at an all-time low, or are they—? Because we are where we are and we can moan about the situation, but how do…
, Finance Committee
Post-EU funding arrangements: Evidence session 3
