I want to write to Carolyn Thomas
Oeddech chi'n golygu representations NOT taxation speaker:Rhun ap Iorwerth speaker:Carolyn Thomas?
Jane Dodds: ...sure that people who are carers, who are parents, who are parents to be, and those suffering from ill health, have the opportunity to have time from the Senedd when they don't need to worry about representation or about the business of the Senedd. And that's what a compassionate, caring Parliament should be about. So, I welcome this proposal. It is about a modern Senedd, and I urge you all...
Sioned Williams: ...campaigner on epilepsy, a condition she herself lives with. The point of the Equal Power Equal Voice programme is to break down barriers to democratic participation, and increase diversity of representation. The Senedd estate itself therefore must play its part if the Commission supports these aims. Becci has photosensitive epilepsy, which means she can experience seizures triggered by...
Jane Hutt: Thank you very much, Peredur. I just want to say that, yesterday, I had a very useful and constructive meeting with the Enforcement Conduct Board. Following contributions and representations made in this Chamber, I had approached the Enforcement Conduct Board and asked them if they could play a role in accrediting those who were enforcement agencies for utilities. And I have to say that I was...
Mick Antoniw: ...to the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee for its scrutiny in respect of the LCM and the supplementary LCMs and their detailed report, much of which I agree with, as has already been noted in my response of 9 March. As I tried to explain, we are in a very undesirable situation not of our own making. As the Welsh Government, we continue to explain to the UK Government what is...
Carolyn Thomas: Thank you for clarifying for Conservative Members that it was the Welsh Labour Government who worked hard to ensure we received parity of seed funding with England of £26 million—not the £8 million previously offered—as well as protection for workers' rights and environmental protections. I say this because these made-in-Wales conditions are the reason I also finally agreed to support...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: ...i gyd fel ein bod ni'n gallu dod i benderfyniad sydd yn glir ac yn deg. Wrth gwrs, mae grwpiau cymunedol yn yr ardal hefyd wedi cael gwybod bod cyfle ganddyn nhw hefyd i wneud unrhyw fath o representations sydd eisiau arnyn nhw.
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Welsh Government has not made any representations to the UK Government because the UK’s position on settlements is clear. The UK consider the settlements as illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace, and threaten the physical viability of a two-state solution.
...a gedwir i Lywodraeth a Senedd y DU ar hyn o bryd, mae adran 62 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn darparu: 'The Welsh Ministers, the First Minister and the Counsel General may make appropriate representations about any matter affecting Wales'. 2. Yn cydnabod y gymuned Cwrdaidd sylweddol yng Nghymru. 3. Yn nodi bod preswylydd o Gymru—İmam Sis, dyn Cwraidd ifanc—ar streic newyn...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: As this is a reserved matter the Welsh Government has not made a representation to the European Court of Human Rights. However, we are aware of the great concern in Wales around this issue and that is why I made the Turkish ambassador aware of this when I met him recently.
Lesley Griffiths: Careful consideration is being given to the representations made by the community, including the Docks Incinerator Action Group, as well as those of the plant developer. I must ensure our actions as a Government uphold our international obligations in respect of compliance with the environmental impact directive.
Russell George: ...and it was good to meet as well with a lot of the CHC members in Berriew show last month, where we had a good discussion about the White Paper. Now, during First Minister’s questions yesterday, I noted the concern that the White Paper does not contain any recognition of the specific complexities of cross-border services, apart from, of course, the other issues of the important scrutiny...
Mark Drakeford: ...voters were returning Rhodri Morgan with majorities that I remember telling him at the time would be the envy of Albania—one of the few European countries, he then pointed out, with which he did not have a pre-existing set of political contacts or relationships. By 2001, with the parliamentary representation of Cardiff West passed safely on to his close friend and adviser, Kevin Brennan,...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...in the number of nights of respite care that are available, and that respite care is extremely important. Very often, that is the difference between someone coping with caring responsibilities or not coping. We know from a recent survey that two thirds of carers had given up work or had reduced their working hours because of their caring responsibilities, and that 50 per cent of carers...
Mark Drakeford: ...Wales register and postal or electronic voting, as well as a reduction of the voting age for local government elections to 16. I am also seeking views on the introduction of permissive proportional representation to enable principal authorities to choose to adopt either a first-past-the-post or single transferable vote election system now that the Wales Bill has completed its progress...
Mark Drakeford: ...will be made available for apprenticeships. This is in addition to the £111 million announced in the draft budget for apprenticeships and traineeships. Llywydd, I’ve listened carefully to representations made directly during the consultation period. As a result, an extra £10 million revenue will be provided for a targeted rate relief grant scheme to help small businesses on the high...
Jeremy Miles: ...reflect the diverse communities of the nations of the UK in output, which is obviously, I think, welcome to us all on two levels: the question of diversity and the question of regional and national representation are related, but different things, and I think both commitments are very important. This is one area where I think I would like to see the commitments fleshed out and become...
Llyr Gruffydd: ...shouldn’t be underestimated. Well, I would say, you know, give us the powers and we could do even better. And I would ask you whether you agree with me in that respect, Minister, and maybe what representations you’ve made to the UK Government for increased competence in this area so that we can do a better job than is currently the case? In bringing together Jobs Growth Wales and the...
Alun Davies: ..., clarity is urgently needed about what this actually means in terms of financial support and what practical impact this will have on the breadth of services the BBC provides for Wales. We do not see the development of Cardiff as an important centre for network productions as any sort of justification for reducing the BBC’s investment in other services. Additional resources should be...
