1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd: Youth Services (13 Jan 2021)

Helen Mary Jones: I'm grateful to the Minister for her answer, particularly to Suzy Davies. I just wanted to pursue the issue of funding for the Urdd. The funding that has already been granted has been a huge help, but I'm sure that the finance Minister and other relevant Ministers will be aware that the Urdd faced a £14 million loss of its income—the income that it generates itself, its commercial income,...

3. Business Statement and Announcement (12 Jan 2021)

Helen Mary Jones: I'd like to request, Trefnydd, a statement from the education Minister on a number of matters relating to how the system is responding to the current crisis. Firstly, there's a question of school deficits, school debts. Before COVID-19, Carmarthenshire County Council was working very hard with school leaders to bring down school deficits. However, since March 2020, schools and local...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition (in respect of his 'law officer' responsibilities): Penally Military Base (12 Jan 2021)

Helen Mary Jones: I'm grateful to the Counsel General for his answer. Does he believe that the temporary planning permission that has been granted, which expires in March this year, is actually lawful and will continue to be, and what further steps can he and the Welsh Government take through that legal process in an attempt to ensure that this evidently unsuitable site for these people ceases to be used in...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition (in respect of his 'law officer' responsibilities): The Women Against State Pension Injustice Campaign (12 Jan 2021)

Helen Mary Jones: I'm grateful to the Counsel General for his answer, and I know that the members of the Llanelli WASPI group and other WASPI groups across Mid and West Wales and across Wales will be grateful for the Welsh Government's continuing stance on this. I wonder if the Counsel General has any further information with regard to the timing of the investigation currently being undertaken by the...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Universal Credit (12 Jan 2021)

Helen Mary Jones: While I share some of the obvious and genuine anger that the First Minister feels about the way in which the benefit system affects people here in Wales, I'd like to put it to the First Minister that there is something that he could do for some of those families. It's estimated by the Child Poverty Action Group that there are about 70,000 children in Wales whose families are in receipt of...

1. Debate: The End of the Transition Period (30 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: Plaid Cymru cannot support this deal and we cannot support the motion unamended. We have never supported anything that we know will damage the interests of Wales, and this deal does that.  The background to the situation we find ourselves in today is a litany of broken promises. We were promised that Wales would not lose a penny; now, let me provide you with a reminder of what we have lost....

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Free school meals (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: I'm grateful to the acting Presiding Officer for calling me, and I'm very grateful to all who have taken part in the debate. I won't repeat the points that have been made very ably by my colleagues; I think the case has been powerfully put. I will try to respond to some of the points made by other Members. I was surprised to see Suzy Davies's 'delete all'. I know she doesn't usually do that,...

6. Debate on the Culture, Welsh language and Communications Committee’s Report on the impact of the pandemic on the Welsh language (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: Thank you very much, and can I thank everybody who has contributed to the debate? I must begin by thanking you all for your kind words about my chairing of the committee. I have to say that I've been so very well supported by Members and by staff that I don't think I can take particular individual credit for the work that we've done, but I am proud of what we've achieved through this...

6. Debate on the Culture, Welsh language and Communications Committee’s Report on the impact of the pandemic on the Welsh language (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: Witnesses raised serious concerns about the workforce in this important sector in a number of ways. We have, for example, highly-skilled individuals who will find it easy to find other work, and may be permanently lost to the Welsh language sector. The Urdd highlighted the issue that qualified youth workers who could work through the medium of Welsh are worth their weight in gold, but they...

6. Debate on the Culture, Welsh language and Communications Committee’s Report on the impact of the pandemic on the Welsh language (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. I'm very pleased to rise to commend this report to the Senedd, a report on the effect of the COVID crisis on the Welsh language. I want to begin, of course, by thanking members of the committee, our witnesses and our staff, who have continued to support our work through the pandemic. I'm very grateful to them all. The COVID crisis has of course had a massive impact...

4. 90 Second Statements (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Last month, rugby referee Nigel Owens put Pontyberem on the map when he made history, becoming the first referee to reach 100 international test matches as he took charge of the Autumn Nations Cup match between France and Italy in Paris. He is an international icon who continues to be deeply rooted in his local community. For the community of Pontyberem, there have...

1. Questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs: Flooding (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: I'm grateful to you, Minister, for that answer. This weekend, I visited residents and businesses at Capel Teilo Road, which is between Trimsaran and Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire. A relatively small number of properties are affected, but very seriously affected, sometimes going weeks without being able to get their vehicles in and out. It's a complex pattern, Minister, with tidal flooding...

Emergency Question: COVID-19 Restrictions (16 Dec 2020)

Helen Mary Jones: I thank the First Minister for what he's had to say; it's obviously a very difficult time for everybody. I've got some very specific questions I'd like to ask. First of all, First Minister, how will this affect hotels, many of which have taken bookings for the period twenty-third to the twenty-seventh? They assumed they were safe to do that. If hospitality is closing down completely on...
