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: ...the Bill in order to minimise the damage it will cause to Wales. That point has been made, and I confirm we will do all that we can, as the Bill proceeds through the House of Lords, in terms of representations with regard to the sort of changes that need to be made. Again, I'll continue to share detailed thinking with the Senedd. I'll just comment very briefly on a few of the points that...
Carolyn Thomas: ..., please could you ensure that all representatives in north Wales will be involved, and not just those electioneering, as I've had businesses, public sector and constituents making important representations to me? Thank you.
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: ...Paper as to who would fulfil the important scrutiny role on behalf of patients in the absence of community health councils. Others have mentioned the experience of Scotland’s model of patient representation there, so I won’t go into that and talk about toothless hamsters, et cetera, but there is a fear that unless CHCs are afforded a statutory role, they will have no teeth to be a...
Mark Drakeford: ...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, who I know is here this afternoon, Rhodri was free to concentrate on juggling just the political...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...a figure as to how many people they had referred on to other organisations. We need this kind of data. The needs of carers from ethnic minorities still aren’t taken into account. They have no representation on steering groups, local boards or fora. There was a significant variety in the number of carers assessments that each local authority had undertaken, something that was very...
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: ...portrayal of Wales and the other devolved nations must improve and that the BBC intends to set portrayal objectives for commissioners. All the public service broadcasters must recognise that proper representation of the full diversity of the UK has to include better representation of the diverse cultures of its nations and regions, and that includes Wales. We also support the intention to...
