25 Feb 2025Groceries Code Adjudicator

I thank the Minister for his response and his particularly generous offer to listen to further contributions about how we can strengthen the GCA. I thank all hon. Members for their contributions. The hon. Member for Lichfield (Dave Robertson) talked about the issues facing dairy farmers, which are also relevant in my c

25 Feb 2025Groceries Code Adjudicator

I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. She is absolutely right to highlight the power imbalance between the producers and the retailers. It is quite right that she also focuses on the important research that has been done on this topic by organisations like Riverford. The evidence they have provided has been cruc

25 Feb 2025Groceries Code Adjudicator

I thank my right hon. Friend for his intervention. I agree wholeheartedly. He will be aware that the levy that supermarkets pay to fund the Groceries Code Adjudicator has not been increased since 2018, despite the massive increases in food prices and supermarket profits since then.

24 Feb 2025 Crown Estate Bill [Lords]

If devolution presents such enormous barriers, why are the Government choosing to put the headquarters of Great British Energy in Scotland?

24 Feb 2025 Crown Estate Bill [Lords]

I rise to speak in support of new clause 4 and to express my party’s frustration with the Government’s refusal thus far to devolve the Crown Estate to Wales. It is the firm view of the Liberal Democrats, both here in Westminster and in the Senedd, that this decision is wrong for Wales and its economy. Under the current

12 Feb 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 659)

Thank you. I would like to broaden the next question out and pick up on something that you said earlier. You said that this Government—this UK Government—is all about economic growth, and, clearly, what is happening in Port Talbot is having a terrible impact on the economy of south Wales. The Prime Minister clearly bel

12 Feb 2025Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

Does my hon. Friend agree that the key to extracting value from datasets is data retrievability?

Do you think that gap will close during this Parliament?

12 Feb 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 659)

How would you describe your engagement with the UK Government on the Port Talbot Tata Steel transition board? And how is your Government working with local councils and communities to ensure that the funding from the transition board is as impactful as possible?

6 Feb 2025Coalfield Communities

I am proud to represent several former coalmining communities. Abercraf, Cwmtwrch, Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen, Ystradgynlais, Pontardawe and Rhos are just a few of the proud former mining communities that I represent. I therefore thank the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Adam Jogee) for securing this debate. Across Wales,

5 Feb 2025Closure of High Street Services: Rural Areas

Ystradgynlais is the biggest town in my constituency, and it has a catchment area of 24,000 people. People there tell me that they experience long waits when they go to use the post office, and that post office staff have lost cheques and made other errors that have created problems for local businesses. Does the Minis

5 Feb 2025Closure of High Street Services: Rural Areas

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss. I thank my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (Jamie Stone) for securing this timely debate. We heard last week that the banks will be closing their doors to more customers. Lloyds Banks has decided to close an extra 1

Would you be able to say if the port is on track to meet the target of creating 3,500 to 13,000 jobs by 2030?

5 Feb 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 658)

This is a question for Gary and Ian again. Have you observed any benefits to Ynys Môn since Holyhead was granted freeport status?

How much of the cargo that moves through Holyhead continues to Northern Ireland?

5 Feb 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 658)

This is another question for Ian and Dr Jones. How strategically and economically important is Holyhead in linking Great Britain to Northern Ireland?

4 Feb 2025National Cancer Plan

Many of my constituents have to travel to England to access cancer treatment. This presents many problems, one of which is a lack of data sharing between NHS England and NHS Wales. Will the Minister assure Welsh patients that if they are treated in an English hospital, their data will follow them home and that it will

3 Feb 2025 Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

It is an honour to follow such an excellent speech from the hon. Member for Normanton and Hemsworth (Jon Trickett). As a Welsh Liberal Democrat, I find myself concerned with the civil liberties aspects of this Bill, particularly the influence and power it gives to the big banks. I spent seven years working in data priv

29 Jan 2025Economic Growth

Wales is in dire need of economic growth, as we have some of the lowest wages in the United Kingdom and areas with the highest levels of poverty. Does the Secretary of State agree that banking hubs can be part of the solution? Will she support my campaign for a banking hub in Ystradgynlais, the largest town in my const

28 Jan 2025 Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords]

Does the Minister agree that it is supremely unjust that, in Wales, customers face some of the highest bills for their water, despite having some of the lowest incomes in the United Kingdom?
