Short Debate: Full-face coverings are against British values
I am proud to be Welsh, proud to be British, and unapologetic in defending our culture. In Britain we show our faces. It builds trust and, more importantly, it keeps us safe. In certain Islamic countries, under Islamic law, girls from puberty must cover their…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Thank you, Mike, for the question. Improving further education in Swansea must mean providing the skills local industry needs. Employers need courses shaped around their businesses, reliable partnerships with colleges and practical help. For a small business…

Thank you, Llywydd. Trefnydd, at a recent meeting, I heard that delays over Morriston Hospital's access road are holding back proposals for a proposed new emergency department. We understand that much of the planning sits with local government, but where is…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, once an annual health check identifies a need, responsibility should not fall on the individual to fight for treatment. People with learning disabilities need a clear, funded pathway to further tests, specialist assessment and treatment. Welsh…

Thank you.

Obviously, you're running with a deficit at the moment. How do you feel now, as we go forward, about your resilience to manage shocks in the system, shocks in funding, after having gone through a period of volatility?
, Culture, Communications, Cymraeg and Sport Committee
Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Thank you. Just a quick one. You talked about the need for financial stability and that you've obviously just been through a period of volatility. What conversations have you had actually with the Welsh Government about funding that is allowing you to do any…

Have you actually got figures? 'Obviously, this is the core. This is how much it's going to cost for the core. Vis-à-vis this is the new stuff you want us to deliver. This is how much we think this will cost.'

Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
Sure. Just a quick question. Obviously, you mentioned at the start your core offer, and then other tasks that are put on you, which may be a little bit of mission creep that get labelled onto you. Then you have the strategy via the funding. What conversations…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Finance
Minister, Labour rejected your supplementary budget in July. Mark Drakeford suggested that they should have accepted the deal. And now, Labour and Plaid have reached an agreement. The old band is back together, playing live on the stage of failed promises…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
Thank you, Deputy Llywydd. Before any team loses its licence, we need answers. When asked about economic consequences on 15 September, the Minister referred to business rate support and concerns she had raised. Her answer gave no timetable for a Government…

Reform UK Debate: Regional rugby
We support the Ospreys. We support keeping all four professional rugby teams in Wales. We want this Plaid Government to fight for them. Saving the Ospreys should never mean sacrificing the Scarlets. We want the Ospreys, the Scarlets, Cardiff and the Dragons…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning
Thank you, Minister. Minister, your Government promised 20,000 additional social homes by 2030, despite Wales's nation of sanctuary and Swansea's city of sanctuary status potentially drawing further claimants into our lands, and you just said that we do not…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution
Thank you. Minister, your Government's supplementary budget was recently defeated. Your finance Minister then wrote 'we must avoid creating additional spending obligations where the funding position has yet to be agreed.' Before seeking more policing powers…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The defence sector
This is the last sentence. Our ambition should be Welsh apprentices qualifying, Welsh factories securing orders and Welsh families building their futures here. This is the opportunity before us, this Government should be getting on and delivering it. Thank…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The defence sector
As a veteran myself, I have to say I am thankful to our defence industry, which allows us to operate in dangerous environments efficiently, effectively and safely. I have to say I'm somewhat baffled by some of the arguments I've heard on Plaid's side of the…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
This links back to the Member's question, but I want to go a bit more local. The Welsh Water treatment works in Gowerton serves around 58,000 constituents across Gŵyr Abertawe. However, concerns have been raised that proposed housing developments in Gowerton…

Annual scrutiny session with Sport Wales
As long as we're moving in the right direction, and we set those foundation levels, and you go, 'Every year we're building on something', that's good for me. Everyone talks about the short term, but often when you're talking in sports and how you build…

Annual scrutiny session with Sport Wales
Just going back slightly, the second part of my question was what does success look like to you. If we were to measure you at the end, is it, 'This many people now are active in schools', or are we measuring you on every single different priority? Where would…

Annual scrutiny session with Sport Wales
It's actually quite linked into what you were just saying. So, mine is all about priorities, because you are in a difficult funding environment. And, again, there are quite a lot of priorities for you on here. We've got daily activity, prevention, we've got…
