Business of the House (13 Feb 2003)

Wayne David: The Leader of the House knows that, a few weeks ago, an excellent debate was held in Westminster Hall on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union decision-making process. Given that the Convention on the Future of Europe is nearing the end of its work, will my right hon. Friend find time for a debate on the Floor of the House on the role of national Parliaments in EU decision making?

Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Industry: Women Entrepreneurs (13 Feb 2003)

Written Answers — Wales: Orthopaedic Care (Gwent) (12 Feb 2003)

Police ( 5 Feb 2003)

Wayne David: I welcome this positive statement, but as a Gwent Member I must express some disappointment. For some time Gwent has been disadvantaged by the funding formula, and Gwent police and Gwent Members had hoped for a significant improvement in 2003–04. Gwent's chief constable agrees. Gwent's police force, like others, faces a number of unavoidable cost increases. Increases related to pension...

Democracy and Accountability in the European Union (30 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: The hon. Gentleman did not listen carefully enough. I referred to sub-national bodies, but also to national bodies that do not possess legislative powers like those of the House. I gently remind him that elections to the National Assembly for Wales will be held in a couple of months time, and I have absolute confidence, given the small blip that occurred in Wales, that those traditional...

Democracy and Accountability in the European Union (30 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: I warmly welcome this report because I firmly believe that Europe matters. To the people of this country, it matters that the European Union works. That is because the economy of this country is now inextricably linked to the economies of other European states. The single market is a reality. It is becoming ever deeper and increasingly successful. In my constituency of Caerphilly in south...

Democracy and Accountability in the European Union (30 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: I would be happy to elaborate on that now, as that was my next point, anyway. If we are serious about extending the role of national Parliaments, it is important that we have a dual perspective, and envisage the role of national Parliaments increasing not in each member state, important though that is, but internationally. There is scope for developing the Conference of Community and European...

Democracy and Accountability in the European Union (30 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: I will try not to take the canine analogy too far, but I would say that we must have institutions that can bite. The process of European scrutiny has to be undertaken at national as well as European level. I should like to make a few closing remarks about our work in this Chamber. The European Scrutiny Committee does an excellent job, but there is scope for its powers to be increased. The...

Democracy and Accountability in the European Union (30 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that the great success of the European project to date has been the successful completion of a single market that has created more jobs and more prosperity than we have ever seen? That is why so many countries want to join it.

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Economically Inactive (13 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: I know the Minister will agree that this is a huge issue. In some parts of the south Wales valleys, as many as one in four of the working-age population are categorised as economically inactive. Does my right hon. Friend also agree that it is necessary to improve the health and well-being of many in our poorest communities, and that healthy living programmes must be a vital part of our...

Health (Wales) Bill: Clause 3 — Functions of the Centre ( 9 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: The amendment says that the Wales centre for health Xshall not use media channels widely accessible in the any area outside Wales", but how wide is wide? Are we talking about 2 or 202 square miles? The amendment must be precise; otherwise it is meaningless.

Regional Policy ( 7 Jan 2003)

Wayne David: I begin by congratulating the hon. Member for East Carmarthen and Dinefwr (Adam Price) on securing this debate. It is vital that we focus on the development of a coherent regional policy in this country, and I agree that that has not attracted sufficient attention, at least in the recent past. I am delighted that he supports my campaign to have the capital city of Wales moved north from...
