Speeches by Davies.

“I stand to speak in support of new clause 1, tabled by the hon. Member for Brighton Pavilion (Siân Berry). The two-child cap should never have been introduced in the first place. As one of four siblings, I gently ask the hon. Member for South West Devon (Rebecca Smith): was I, the third born, worth less than my two old…”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for North Shropshire (Helen Morgan) on securing this debate. Over the past 20 months or so since coming into this House, I think that rural connectivity has been the most constant issue in my inbox, which is really not surprising when we consider the fact that my constituency is 69% rural…”

“Enzo Romano is a talented young footballer who has already played for the Welsh youth team. He could have chosen Italy or Spain, but he has chosen Wales first. Despite his birth certificate proving that he was born in Cardiff, his British citizenship application has been refused for a second time. Without it, he cannot…”

“Public confidence is so important, and the ministerial code requires that Ministers, including the Prime Minister, uphold the highest possible standards of propriety. Given that the evidence clearly shows what the Prime Minister knew, the appointment of Mandelson did not meet those standards. Can the Minister confirm w…”

“Pride in Place is not.”

“That is the problem with local government. The local government officials, councillors and officers I have spoken to are really worried that the funding will not be there to keep the jobs that the SPF has secured. For rural communities such as mine, that includes things like having a local bus service that covers the t…”

“Regarding Pentre Awel, it is a fantastic facility in Carmarthenshire. It is not in my constituency, unfortunately, but it is within Carmarthenshire. Can I just look at the transition between SPF and local growth plans, funds and Pride in Place? The local growth fund in Wales is £547 million over three years; that is a …”

“My Plaid Cymru colleague, Liz Saville-Roberts, asked in a written question what formal requests for devolution of powers had been made by the Welsh Government since July 2024, but, instead of providing that information, your Department met it with a political attack, which sadly appears to be a Wales Office trend in re…”

“The First Minister has also called for devolution to be legally protected through a constitutional reform Act. Are there any plans for the UK Government to introduce this type of legislation?”

“We will keep with devolution, if that is okay. We have discussed devolution of policing, and I am delighted to hear about the tax power devolution and the consultation that will be coming out on that, but we also need to look at the devolution of rail infrastructure, youth justice, probation and the transfer of the Cro…”

“You mentioned that it is starting this year, which is fantastic, because those jobs will then slowly come through. That is brilliant. When do you envisage the switch-on? When will the electricity come through from Anglesey to those 3 million homes?”

“The question is about Wylfa. How will the Department, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Welsh Government all work together to ensure that projects such as Wylfa, Awel y Môr and Celtic Sea have the infrastructure and the skills they need to deliver?”

“Diolch yn fawr a croeso. I am asking this question on behalf of Llinos Medi, who is in bed on her doctor’s orders. Those of you who have seen her around here in the last two weeks will know how unwell she has been.”

“Community energy has an important role to play in Wales. It powers around 17,500 homes, many of which are in my constituency of Caerfyrddin, with Ynni Sir Gâr leading the way. I welcome the local power plan and its funding envelope of £1 billion, and hope that we can rapidly expand on that number. Will the Secretary of…”

“We in Wales know how this story ends. The former Welsh First Minister, Vaughan Gething, was forced to resign following a serious error of judgment; the Prime Minister had expressed full confidence in him. The Prime Minister then went on to appoint Peter Mandelson, despite his association with a convicted paedophile bei…”

“I thank the Minister for her announcement today. At the end of the day, cancer will affect one in two of us—those are the statistics now. May I also thank colleagues for highlighting the difference in treatment between rural and urban areas? In Wales, we do not even have a plan yet. Without urgent action, there will co…”

“Diolch yn fawr, Ms Lewell; it is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. I thank the hon. Member for Blackpool North and Fleetwood (Lorraine Beavers) for securing the debate. My corner of west Wales, Caerfyrddin, is no different. Multiple constituents have come to me with unacceptable experiences of trying to acce…”

“I am glad that the UK Government are finally taking action on child poverty and removing the two-child cap on universal credit—a policy, of course, that Plaid has opposed from the start. However, more than one in five households affected by the two-child limit will not benefit because of the cap on benefits. Does the S…”

“The classification of Northern Powerhouse Rail as an England-Wales project is short-changing Wales of up to £1.5 billion. Plaid Cymru is clear that we need an immediate devolution of rail to end this funding scandal, and even the Labour First Minister of Wales has claimed that she wants rail to be devolved. Will the Se…”

“Diolch yn fawr, Madam Dirprwy Lefarydd. I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests; as most hon. Members know, I am a dairy and sheep farmer from west Wales. I am very aware of the volatility of markets and its effect on our sector. Sheep and beef prices have been steady for the past …”
