  • 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: Reducing Court Backlogs 9 Dec 2025

    Diolch yn fawr, Cwnsler Cyffredinol. Jury trials are a fundamental part of the democratic settlement. 'Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea'—Cwnsler Cyffredinol, there is always that one tweet, isn't there? But those aren't my words; that was a tweet written by David Lammy, back in 2020. I was very pleased to hear your answer to Mick earlier on, pleased that you mentioned the...

  • 1. Questions to the First Minister: Allied Steel and Wire 9 Dec 2025

    Diolch yn fawr, Prif Weinidog. As you know, in 2002, when ASW collapsed, 1,000 hard-working men and women not only lost their jobs, but they lost their security and their future. Over 23 years after that, these same workers, now in their 70s and their 80s, are still fighting—fighting for justice, fighting for the pensions they earned, the pensions they were promised, with full compensation....
