Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Economy (11 Nov 2009) has video

Adam Price: The number of net job losses in Wales announced today represents 20 times the number lost in Lehman Brothers in London. If that is the case, why have manufacturing companies in Wales received just a fraction of the support that the Government have invested in the bail-out of the City of London?

Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Digital Radio Switchover (20 Jul 2009) has video

Adam Price: The Minister is a Welsh speaker, so is he aware of the fears for the future of Radio Cymru, the BBC's Welsh language national service? It is not currently available on digital and will not be available in large swathes of western Wales for reasons of topography.

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Topical Questions (14 Jul 2009) has video

Adam Price: Given that the Calman commission in Scotland and, last week, the Holtham commission in Wales have now produced their reports on the Barnett formula, will the Government publish their factual paper on the formula, which was first promised in January 2008?

Energy and Climate Change: Newspapers (Surveillance Methods) (9 Jul 2009) has video

Adam Price: Whatever the operational decisions made by the Metropolitan police, will the Minister tell us what the Government's policy is on informing people that they have been the subject of illegal surveillance? Is it the Government's view that the principle should always be that those people should be notified? As a first step, will he tell us in his statement later this evening how many Members of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Dairy Farmers of Britain (2 Jul 2009) has video

Adam Price: When Parmalat went into administration in 2004, the Italian Government provided emergency compensation to the thousands of Italian dairy farmers who were affected and the European Union agreed to waive state aid rules. Why do the British Government not provide similar support now to the thousands of British dairy farmers affected by the collapse of DFOB?

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Topical Questions (2 Jul 2009) has video

Opposition Day — [14th allotted day]: Iraq Inquiry (24 Jun 2009) has video

Adam Price: At this point in the proceedings, we begin to echo each other, and we are doing so today across the Floor of the House. It might be repetitive but, at times such as this, we begin, as a House, to get to the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter is that this inquiry is not just about the specific events leading up to the war or about its aftermath. It is also about our constitution and...

Opposition Day — [14th allotted day]: Iraq Inquiry (24 Jun 2009) has video

Adam Price: That point was dealt with by the right hon. Member for Birmingham, Ladywood when she said that there was no automaticity as a result of that resolution and that a second resolution was required. The Government changed their position when they could not get the second resolution—that is the reality of it—and they misled the House, the UN and the people of this country. I believe...

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Digital Britain (16 Jun 2009) has video

Opposition Day: [Un-alloted half-day] — Dissolution of Parliament (10 Jun 2009) has video

Adam Price: But is it not the case that if the Labour Government had not gerrymandered the result of the referendum in Scotland, the people of Glasgow and of Scotland would have had a Scottish Parliament to protect them through the dark days of Thatcherism? The fact that that did not happen was the responsibility of the Labour Government of the time.

Opposition Day: [Un-alloted half-day] — Dissolution of Parliament (10 Jun 2009) has video

Adam Price: How can the Secretary of State have the gall to accuse our parties of being Tories when on virtually every major issue of the past 12 years—whether the Iraq war or the privatisation of Royal Mail—our parties have been to the left of his?

Opposition Day: [Un-alloted half-day] — Dissolution of Parliament (10 Jun 2009) has video

Adam Price: The Secretary of State's speech is another good argument for an early dissolution. He is obviously out of practice. If Plaid Cymru has nothing to contribute in terms of the economic crisis, why did his party agree to form a coalition with us, and why is the leader of my party, the Minister for the Economy and Transport, coming up with the ProAct wage subsidy scheme, which the Secretary of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Inflation (9 Jun 2009) has video

Adam Price: The market is factoring in expectations of a significant rise in inflation, as reflected in higher bond yields. Why is that happening, and does it not run the risk of choking off any economic recovery when it comes?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Parliamentary Standards Authority (20 May 2009)

Adam Price: It is not just the expenses scandal that has tarnished the reputation of this House in what has been a low, dishonest decade for parliamentary democracy, but the deception perpetrated by the previous Prime Minister in taking us to war on the basis of a pack of lies. That caused almost irreparable damage to people's trust in politics and politicians. My question to the right hon. and learned...

Business of the House: Sri Lanka (30 Apr 2009) has video

Adam Price: Given the Sri Lankan Government's stated intent to continue this "war without witness", to use the Foreign Secretary's term, will the Government suspend any UK arms export licences to Sri Lanka with immediate effect? What steps is he taking to prevent the sale of munitions, including artillery shells, to the Sri Lankan military by EU countries? If we did not take such steps, would we not be...

Opposition Day — [10th Allotted Day]: Sri Lanka (29 Apr 2009) has video

Adam Price: Briefly, as I know that other Members wish to speak, I want to add my voice and that of my party, Plaid Cymru—I am sure the Scottish National party would also want to do so—to the strong, unified and unequivocal message that I am sure we will send from the House. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Tamil people and want an end to the terrible atrocity that is being committed....

Opposition Day — [10th Allotted Day]: Sri Lanka (29 Apr 2009) has video

Adam Price: Given that the Sri Lankan Government and their military are implicated in the slaughter of their own citizens, possibly deceiving the world in doing so, at what point is it no longer acceptable for Sri Lanka to continue as a full member of the Commonwealth?

Opposition Day — [10th Allotted Day]: Sri Lanka (29 Apr 2009) has video

Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Devolution (29 Apr 2009) has video

Adam Price: Speaking as a Euro Unionist, not a British Unionist, and as a supporter of Owain Glyndwr, but also not as a descendant of his, and in the spirit of partnership between the nations of these islands, what does the Secretary of State think of my party's proposal that each of the constituent nations of the United Kingdom should take its turn in nominating the UK representative as commissioner in...
