Speeches by Davies.

“I am the MP for Caerfyrddin, which is in west Wales and wholly within the Hywel Dda health board. It is not always on the border, but people are transferred to England for specialist services. In one case I had—and I could mention several where things went wrong after they reached England—a gentleman from Nantgaredig w…”

“I want to say a huge thank you to Green Dragon transport and Dolen Teifi, which operate in my patch. To be honest, they are phenomenal. The work they do is amazing. I want to touch on the air ambulance service, because in south Wales, in my patch, the helicopter based in Llanelli covers Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and ar…”

“Do you ever feel that there is a delay in patient care or patient services because of the lack of Welsh language, or do you feel that you have done as much as you can within Gobowen?”

“Alyson, do you have a lot of feedback from patients all over Wales now who are going into hospitals in England or on the border that there is not provision of Welsh language, especially if you are elderly or vulnerable? If you have severe dementia, for example, you go back to your first language—that is where your brai…”

“Diolch—thank you.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Allin-Khan. I congratulate the hon. Member for North Norfolk (Steff Aquarone) on securing this important debate. I do not know whether to take comfort from the number of MPs present for this debate, or to be troubled that we are here again to press the Government to…”

“Care workers such as Grace Reji work hard to provide an invaluable service to the most vulnerable people in my constituency. She has a family, but when faced with a possible five-year increase in the qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain, carers like her worry that they will be forced to leave. Coleg Elidyr,…”

“Measures to support about 17% of our young people in Wales who are not in education, employment or training to gain employment are welcome, although I prefer to use the term “LEET”—looking for education, employment or training—which I think is a much more positive way of viewing our young people. However, apprenticeshi…”

“I am proud to have joined this Parliament as part of a record number of women elected for Plaid Cymru in 2024, and part of the record 40% of women elected in that same year. We are clearly on our way towards a gender-equal Parliament. With that historic milestone in sight, would the Minister commit her Government to Ce…”

“I welcome the Minister’s statement and everybody’s commitment to keep us all as safe as possible. Just a few months ago, the Housing Secretary called the Russian interference within the Reform party “a stain on our democracy”.—[Official Report, 16 December 2025; Vol. 777, c. 776.] Since then, members of the Welsh Labou…”

“I have been inundated, as have many in the House, with messages from constituents facing impossible heating oil costs, with one telling me that their 500-litre order has soared from £302 to over £900. At yesterday’s meeting arranged by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, the Government said that people should appl…”

“We are working closely with LINK and the FCA to get as much information as we can to secure a hub. That is what our communities need. They deserve to be able to get to their cash safely. My community means everything to me. The interwoven history and heritage of Caerfyrddin run through my veins. As I have said before, …”

“Diolch yn fawr, Madam Dirprwy Lefarydd. I refer the House to the Register of Members’ Financial Interests—I am co-chair of the anti-pylon group in Llanarthne and the president of the Farmers’ Union of Wales in Carmarthenshire. From the Arglwydd Rhys of Dinefwr’s first Eisteddfod, which was held in Aberteifi in Ceredigi…”

“I really appreciate the hon. Member’s having secured this important debate, as we have issues very similar to Suffolk Coastal’s in Caerfyrddin and west Wales in general. A levy is really important for cumulative planning and mitigation. I would also add that there are tangible benefits for our communities, such as publ…”

“I would love to talk about the Welsh Government, but I know I am not allowed. Perhaps we will catch up afterwards. Just to finalise, Debbie, if it is okay to ask you this question, we all have in our mailboxes situations where people have separated later on in life or young people who are looking for accommodation, but…”

“By all means share, because it is so important for us to understand this.”

“Lauren, bearing in mind my declaration of interest—be kind to the private rented sector—how would you assess the quality and variety of housing stock in Wales and the impact it has on housing insecurity and homelessness?”

“That is fine. I cannot believe that six years have gone since the pandemic. It has just gone, and we are still living with the effects of what happened. Dr Evans, I know the Bevan Foundation has done a lot of work in this field. What is the effect of homelessness on children and families, and on their life chances?”

“Thank you all for your answers. You have been detailed. Diolch yn fawr iawn. I will start with Katie, if I may, from Cymorth Cymru. You touched on it in the first question, so perhaps this is an opportunity to fill in a little more of the detail. How has housing insecurity and homelessness in Wales changed over the pas…”

“Yes, I have a declaration. I am a private landlord. I am registered with Rent Smart Wales in west Wales. Thank you.”
