Speeches by Davies.

“Diolch yn fawr, Mr Llefarydd. Green energy deserves green transmission, so will the Minister commit to undergrounding any new electric transmission in Wales?”

“Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 11 June.”

“Diolch, Mr Llefarydd. My constituent Mr Michael O’Leary was brutally murdered five years ago, and his body was desecrated. Working alongside the hon. Members for York Outer (Mr Charters) and for Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr (Steve Witherden), I have made a number of requests to discuss the case of Mr O’Leary, and those …”

“I rise to speak to new clause 61, on the issue of cable ploughing—specifically, on the plans put forward by Green GEN Cymru. It proposes a 90-km power line, much of which would be suspended on pylons, across the breathtaking Twyi valley, and an additional 65 kilometres of power line across the equally beautiful Teifi v…”

“I would love to have that opportunity. I thank the hon. Lady for putting forward her new clause—it was a pleasure to sign up to it. We should not expect the behaviour that I mentioned from those who claim to be building a greener future. Let us be honest: if Green GEN Cymru had chosen to place the cables underground fr…”

“I am a dairy farmer from Carmarthenshire, so we have a dairy farm there. We also have a farm diversification business, and I am a chair of the FUW in Carmarthenshire.”

“Can I thank the three of you for coming here today? Mae’n wych cael eich cwmni. It is so great to have your company. We have touched on the LFA. It is really difficult to make a living on the LFA land that we have in Wales. Two-thirds of our land is LFA. As Aled has already said, the average income is about £22,000. A …”

“Following on from High Speed 2, there is a new chapter in the great Welsh train robbery—I am sure hon. Members know where this is going. The East West Rail project between Oxford and Cambridge has been classified as an England and Wales project. I have lived in Wales all my life, and I have got to say that it is nowher…”

“Dementia is heartbreaking. With over 944,000 people in the UK suffering from this illness, we need to support families and sufferers in a more holistic manner. Health in Wales is devolved—as it is in Scotland—to the Senedd. However, as dementia affects so many of my constituents, I want to highlight the work that is be…”

“Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the Government need to undertake a strategic review of UK border controls to ensure that UK food security is protected from the introduction of diseases such as foot and mouth, as we have had on the continent, or any other exotic disease?”

“Diolch yn fawr, Mr Vickers. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. Statistics show that one in three women in the UK will have an abortion at some point in their lives, and the vast majority, as has been said, are at under 10 weeks gestation. Although the Abortion Act 1967 makes abortion legal under strict …”

“My constituent’s daughter, Greta Marie Otteson, and her fiancé, Arno Els Quinton, tragically died in Vietnam on Christmas day. The limoncello drink supplied by a local restaurant was contaminated with methanol, a toxic industrial chemical sometimes used instead of alcohol. Greta’s parents, Susan and Paul Otteson, are s…”

“This is a question to Mr Jones. Your organisation’s submission highlights concerns about the management of HMP Parc and the call for the prison to be brought back into public ownership. Could you justify your position and explain how it would improve the outcomes for Parc?”

“We will leave that with the Chair.”

“I will start with you, Mr Jones. You mentioned already the pressure of overcapacity, so can you determine what functions need to be prioritised in the face of significant capacity pressures and increased workloads? Also, how confident are you that the measures introduced by the UK Government will be able to address the…”

“The Swansea residential unit has been talked about for a long time. Do you support that? Is that the way forward?”

“Following on briefly, it does not sound to me that you are very confident about HMP Parc’s ability to increase in size. The HMPPS wants to increase it to have 345 extra inmates there. Do you think that can be done safely?”

“With your probation hat on, how do you feel about the increase of 345 inmates coming into HMP Parc?”

“I have been to Parc and I have been to Eastwood Park, and it was a really worthwhile experience to visit both. I want to ask about Welsh women in particular. I am aware that the clock is running away with us a bit today, but how do the experiences of Welsh women in prison compare with those of their male counterparts? …”

“Diolch yn fawr, Mr Western. I refer hon. Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. It is a pleasure to serve on this Bill Committee, the first in my parliamentary career—that is a tick in the box. I thank the hon. Member for Chester South and Eddisbury for this opportunity and I look forward …”
