Group 4: Consultation and involvement (Amendments 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
I would also like to begin by thanking all those who've worked tirelessly campaigning for the recognition of British Sign Language. As Sioned Williams has just said, I've also learned so much by talking to the members of the deaf community with regard to this…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
Diolch yn fawr, Cabinet Secretary, but that didn't happen last month, when the residents of the Plymouth ward in Penarth voted in a by-election in which the victorious candidate had the wrong party description on the ballot paper. I'm not going to pass…

Thank you very much, Llywydd. I support entirely the amendment in the name of the Cabinet Secretary. It is going to be invaluable to the process of scrutiny, and to see any progress that has been made or hasn't been made when it comes to remediation. Siân has…

Group 3: Remediation (Amendments 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 30, 62, 63)
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Leasehold reform is well overdue. It's something my father campaigned for in Cardiff back in the 1960s and 1970s, and today, tonight, in this Senedd, we see another example of how crucial leasehold reform is. Over eight and a half…

Debate: The Police Settlement 2026-27
Since the announcement by the Home Secretary on 26 January with regard to reforms to policing, there's barely been a Plenary day when policing hasn't been mentioned, and that shows the strength of feeling of this place when it comes to policing. This is why…

Business Statement and Announcement
In January, I asked for a statement on the future of Aston Martin. Six weeks later, there's been no such statement, but major concerns remain. Up to 100 jobs will be lost at Bro Tathan. Last week, Aston Martin announced their intention to reduce their…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Diolch yn fawr, Cwnsler Cyffredinol. Can I reiterate what Adam Price said? I've enjoyed our Counsel General sessions. We haven't always agreed, but I've always respected where you've come from and you've always tried to do what's best in your eyes for the…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you very much, Counsel General. The word 'crisis' is used very often, but I do genuinely believe that access to justice is approaching the level of crisis. I know that you agree with that; I remember you saying here, on the floor of the Chamber, that…

Updates to previous petitions
Thank you very much, Cadeirydd. I anticipate this is one we can all agree to close because it was kept open for the Cabinet Secretary to confirm that Hirwaun was the only area, as far as the Welsh Government are aware, to be affected by RAAC. That has been…

Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Cadeirydd. I have every sympathy with this petition, as someone who's driven down that road on a number of occasions. I realise there is no hard-and-fast rule, firm rule, about when we should keep a petition open, but some of you will remember that…

Updates to previous petitions
Thank you very much, Cadeirydd. This is another petition that has been open for quite some time, and it's obviously a real concern still. Just earlier on today, somebody came into my office—it was off the street—on this very topic, which is incredible…

Thank you very much, Cadeirydd. The Cabinet Secretary confirmed that she is aware of the report by Merched Cymru. She clarified the legal position that schools are legally required to provide separate single-sex toilets for children aged eight years and over…

Thank you very much, Cadeirydd. The Cabinet Secretary is very supportive of the aims of the petitioner here and confirmed that assistance should not be based on diagnosis. You would know better than us, Cadeirydd, about the work that the Children, Young…

Finally, the Government's response to amendment 4 at the second stage was that it did not need to do that, because it had the target to reduce pollution, and that will cover my amendment. Well, respectfully, I don't agree with that. The Bill, as it stands…

That was the commitment of this Senedd to support the 30x30 target. In December 2022, the UK agreed to the biodiversity framework. Section F of the 2050 vision and 2030 mission sets out clearly that we have to live alongside nature by 2050 and take urgent…

I'll turn to Welsh. Now, amendment 5 is important. It is not only a test of the value of the word of the Welsh Government, it also tests us as a Senedd. What's at the heart of my amendment—unlike Janet, I stick to 2030.
