Speeches by Medi.

“Byddai hynny’n ddefnyddiol. (Translation) That would be useful.”

“Dy’ch chi wedi crybwyll y cynllun iaith 2024-27. Ydych chi’n meddwl bod y cynllun yna’n welliant i’r cynllun blaenorol? (Translation) You mentioned the 2024 to 2027 Welsh language scheme. Do you think that is an improvement on the previous scheme?”

“Dw i’n mynd i neidio ychydig bach rŵan achos rydych chi wedi sôn, fel rhan o’r cynllun blaenorol, bod disgwyliad cael adroddiad blynyddol, ond dim ond un adroddiad blynyddol fu. Pa sicrwydd sydd gennych chi bydd y gwasanaeth yn cydymffurfio rŵan efo’r disgwyliad yna i adrodd? (Translation) I am going to jump around sli…”

“I will ask my questions to Efa in Welsh. Dw i’n meddwl bod o’n bwysig bod ni’n gosod y cyd-destun, yn dilyn y sgwrs ynglŷn â’r unigolyn oedd wedi symud i ffwrdd o’i deulu ac wedi colli cysylltiad hefo’i deulu. Yn yr un modd, mae’r Gymraeg yn hanfodol bwysig. Mae’r iaith gyntaf—y famiaith—yn bwysig yn y cyfnod yna hefyd…”

“Today should have been an opportunity to offer some hope, and to deliver for Wales. Unfortunately, the Chancellor has failed to do that, and our communities will still feel vulnerable. We have been promised action on the cost of living, but nothing has been said about the unfair standing charges that see communities li…”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to answer that question. Small businesses are the majority of our economy in Wales. While it is extremely important that they can offer apprenticeships, they need to be able to afford to employ people, and we need a skilled workforce if we are to give apprentices training opportunities…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for the recent decision on the small modular reactor at Wylfa. To stay committed to the goals of the Paris agreement, we need to speed up the roll-out of technologies such as marine energy. Ynys Môn is home to the world-leading, community-owned Morlais tidal stream project. However, devel…”

“The Welsh Local Government Association has warned today that next year’s Welsh local government settlement still fails to meet structural pressures on Welsh councils. That is the stark backdrop to the upcoming Budget. Does the Minister recognise that the pre-Budget circus of leaks, briefings and chaotic U-turns in No. …”

“Diolch yn fawr, Llefarydd, for granting the urgent question. Last week’s announcement that nuclear power will return to Wylfa is hugely welcome. I am pleased that the Government have backed the site. As I have mentioned several times in this Chamber, Wylfa is recognised as the best site in Europe. May I pay tribute to …”

“(Urgent Question): To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero if he will make a statement on the development of the UK’s first small modular nuclear reactor power station at Wylfa.”

“Obviously, we have no women’s prisons in Wales, so they go over to England. What challenges does that pose when they begin to be resettled back in communities in Wales?”

“I thank both the witnesses for being here. Welsh women who receive custodial sentences are sent to prisons in England. What challenge does this pose when you are trying to support them to resettle back in communities in Wales? The question is to both of you, but we will start with you, Chloe.”

“Katie has already said that she does not feel that we need a prison for women in Wales. What is your experience?”

“I have a follow-up on that. You recognise that there is a distinct complexity in supporting women and preventing them from being homeless. Have you any other examples where women are finding other challenges to being homed safely?”

“Chloe, do you have anything to add?”

“Today’s Remembrance Day debate is an important opportunity to pause and reflect—on the sacrifices of generations before us, and on those who have been impacted by war and conflict. The veterans’ community in Wales is widespread. We are a nation with a greater proportion of veterans and people who have experienced servi…”

“That is another example of what we have already heard, where cross-border work is not working for a timely patient outcome. I agree with my hon. Friend. Ensuring that cross-border health is as seamless as possible means developing strong partnership, introducing effective ways of sharing information and learning, commu…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Dowd. I, too, congratulate the hon. Member for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe (David Chadwick) on securing this important debate. In January, the Welsh mental health charity Llais reported to the Welsh Affairs Committee that “15-20% of people living in Wales use NHS se…”

“My thoughts and those of my Plaid Cymru colleagues are with everyone affected by this appalling attack. They are also with the train driver, the crew and the staff, whose quick thinking and decisive action helped protect many from the worst of outcomes. Will the Secretary of State join me in expressing gratitude for th…”

“Following on from the discussion we had around the Welsh language earlier on, would you say that women are affected worse than men? Obviously there is no Welsh language provision in those English prisons. If your first language is Welsh, would you say that women are finding that even more difficult to navigate around?”
