What is the carbon cost of a flight to New Zealand I ask myself. Will the Hon Gent tell me please?
Once again it appears that the answers the hon Gent was looking for were already out there in two previous official reports. If the Member for Blaenau Gwent spent some time reading these official reports he wouldn't have to ask these pathetic questions and waste so much money. He is paid over £80K for office staff who should be capable of looking up this information for him I suggest. It appears to me and lots of other people who have mentioned it that Mr Davies seems to be trying to "Catch someone out" in a rather childish manner with his silly questions and appears to be raising issues that are as valuable to his constituents as a dose of flu.

I think there is a question on finance that the member for Blaenau Gwent should be answering. Why is he wasting tax payers money on sure questions. Does the member realise that he has spent nearly 5 times the total amount of the Rt Hon and Hon members for Islwyn, Torfaen, Cynon Valley, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney and Caerphilly in asking question. I wouldn't say anything but as Mr Brookman has said 'they are as valuable to his constituents as a dose of flu'. Only 3 question has been about Blaeanau Gwent. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!
