1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy en

   Gweinidog Cabinet, I visited National Grid at Margam substation over the summer to discuss the connection to the Port Talbot substation needed for Tata Steel's electric arc furnace. National Grid explained that there were a number of unexpected barriers, as the Member has previously alluded to, for example, poor ground conditions that increase the number of piles required in the ground from the initial 400 to 11,000, adding an estimated 34 weeks to complete construction. They also outlined plans to recover some of that lost time. Given the importance of the project to the future of steel making in Port Talbot, can the Gweinidog confirm whether any progress has been made in reducing that 34-week delay and whether there is scope to shorten the construction programme further?

1. 5. Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Update on winter preparedness en

   Diolch, Lywydd. Gweinidog Cabinet, winter pressures are often discussed in terms of hospital capacity, delayed discharges and access to primary care, but in the communities that I represent, there's also the very basic issue of whether people can physically get to hospital at all. Living in the shadow of the Rhigos mountain, I know personally how dependent communities in Afan Ogwr Rhondda are on mountain roads, such as the Rhigos, the Bwlch—Bwlch y Clawdd to friends—and Maerdy mountain. These are essential routes for people getting to hospital and for ambulance crews getting patients to urgent and emergency care. During periods of snow and ice, those roads can close very quickly with little communication, leaving communities effectively cut off. What assurances can the Cabinet Secretary give that winter preparedness plans include specific contingencies for mountain road closures, including joint working between health boards, the ambulance services and local authorities, so that patients in those communities are not left without safe access to care?

2. 10. Short Debate: The importance of port infrastructure and maritime traffic to the Welsh economy en

   Thank you to Ben for bringing forward this debate and for being so generous with your time. I had a feeling you'd concentrate on Port Talbot, as will I. We cannot allow ports like Port Talbot to be places where the components of the green transition simply arrive and leave. The greater opportunity lies in building the supply chain around them. For floating offshore wind, that means fabrication, welding, pipe fitting, mooring and anchor systems, cables, logistics, installation and long-term maintenance. Port Talbot already has many of those black skills, built through generations of steel making and heavy industry, as other Members have alluded to. We should utilise those transferable skills alongside the robotic mechanics, digital and engineering skills that those new technologies will require. We must also widen who gets those opportunities, with clear routes in for women, school leavers and people from disadvantaged backgrounds into those skilled, well-paid careers. This must be about innovation as well as infrastructure, linking ports, colleges, businesses and research institutions so that Cymru is not simply deploying new technology, but designing, developing and manufacturing it here too.

2. 2. Questions to the First Minister en

   Diolch, Brif Weinidog. A key test of this strategy, as you've just outlined, for my constituents is whether the energy transition brings not just more generation, but more good jobs, innovation and economic value to those communities like Afan Ogwr Rhondda. Neath Port Talbot is leading the south-west Wales bid to the UK local innovation partnerships fund, which could be an important addition to those aims. The region was originally told that up to £20 million would be available, but I've now been informed by partners involved that this may have been reduced to £15 million—so by a quarter—while Hull and East Yorkshire and Tees Valley have up to £30 million available jointly. It seems to me the UK Government never seems to miss an opportunity to short-change Wales. Can you confirm whether the Welsh Government has been informed of this change, and what representations will you make to protect south-west Wales's share?

3. 5. Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning: The Revision of the National Development Framework and National Conversation cy

   Weinidog, yn wahanol i'r Aelod o Reform UK, rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y pwyslais ar gynnal sgwrs genedlaethol am ddyfodol cynllunio yng Nghymru. Y mwyaf o bobl a all ymwneud â'r ymgynghoriad yna, y gorau oll: yn y pen draw, nhw fydd yn cael eu heffeithio gan y penderfyniadau cynllunio. Gan fod y sgwrs bellach ar y gweill, mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn sut rydym yn sicrhau ei bod yn cyrraedd y bobl nad ydynt fel arfer yn ymgysylltu â'r system gynllunio. Mewn llawer o'n cymunedau yn y Cymoedd ac mewn ardaloedd ôl-ddiwydiannol, gall bobl gael eu heffeithio'n uniongyrchol gan benderfyniadau cynllunio mawr, ond efallai na fyddent yn ymateb i ymgynghoriadau ffurfiol a mynychu cyfarfodydd cyhoeddus, nac yn teimlo, o reidrwydd, fod y system gynllunio wedi'i chynllunio i'w galluogi i gymryd rhan. A allwch sôn ychydig am sut mae'r Llywodraeth yn mynd ati'n rhagweithiol i gyrraedd y cymunedau hynny yn ystod y broses hon, a sut byddwch yn asesu wedyn a yw'r sgwrs genedlaethol wedi llwyddo i ehangu cyfranogiad y tu hwnt i'r rhai sydd eisoes yn ymgysylltu â chynllunio?

   Official English translation

   Minister, in contrast to the Reform UK MS, I very much welcome the emphasis on holding a national conversation about the future of planning in Wales. The more people who can engage in that consultation, the better: they are the ones who ultimately will be affected by the planning decisions. As the conversation is now ongoing, I'm interested in how we ensure that it reaches the people who don't usually engage with the planning system. In many of our communities in the Valleys and in post-industrial areas, people can be impacted directly by major planning decisions, but perhaps won't respond to formal consultations and won't attend public meetings and won't feel that the planning system has been planned necessarily for them to take part. Could you talk a little bit about how the Government is going to reach out to those communities proactively, and how will you assess then whether the national conversation has succeeded in extending participation beyond those who already engage with planning?

1. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Finance cy

   Diolch i'r Aelod am ofyn y cwestiwn. Mae'r llu o grantiau bach sy'n cael eu dyrannu i awdurdodau lleol o flwyddyn i flwyddyn yn creu heriau gwirioneddol o ran cynllunio ymlaen llaw. Trwy ddiwygio'r grant cynnal refeniw i'w wneud yn decach ac yn fwy tryloyw, gellid sicrhau bod mwy o arian yn cyrraedd gwasanaethau rheng flaen. Nawr, dwi'n siŵr nad yw'r Gweinidog eisiau rhagdybio unrhyw adolygiad, ond ydy'r Gweinidog yn meddwl, drwy symleiddio'r ffordd y caiff llywodraeth leol ei hariannu, y gallai hynny wella'r sefyllfa bresennol?

   Official English translation

   I thank the Member for asking the question. The numerous small grants that are allocated to local authorities from year to year create real challenges in terms of advanced planning. By reforming the revenue support grant to make it fairer and more transparent, we can ensure that more money reaches front-line services. Now, I'm sure the Minister doesn't want to make any assumptions about any review, but does the Minister believe that simplifying the way that local government is funded could improve the current situation?

2. 1. Questions to the First Minister en

   Diolch. Prif Weinidog, as you mentioned, the Prime Minister came to Port Talbot last month, promising re-industrialisation and good, secure jobs. The UK's own steel strategy says that Wales is expected to account for around half of the UK's steel-making capacity, yet just days after the Prime Minister's visit, his Government was asked two very straightforward questions: how much of its £2.5 billion steel commitment had been spent or allocated and how much of that had been spent in Wales? It could provide a figure for neither. So, I have to ask the question: what will actually change for Port Talbot since Andy Burnham's visit? And I'm sure I know part of the answer, but will you press him for a firm commitment that Port Talbot receives its fair share of that £2.5 billion?

1. 8. Legislative Consent Motion: Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill en

   This Bill is critical to supporting such a key asset. Primary steel plays a critical role in so many parts of our economy, and maintaining the ability to produce it underpins so many key sectors. My constituents know this more than most, with generations of experience and knowledge in this industry. While this Bill is welcome, and I support the Gweinidog's recommendation to grant consent, I have to say, given the importance of steel to the Welsh economy and given our recent experience, it's extremely disappointing to see how little time both the Senedd and the Welsh Government has had in terms of genuine dialogue with the UK Government on the implications of this Bill and the role the Welsh Government would play in the event that this Bill would be used in a Welsh context. I welcome the concession won by the Gweinidog, and we may hear a bit more about that later. However, people in Port Talbot have been let down by the previous Conservative Government and the soon-to-be previous Labour UK Government under Starmer.  Members of the sixth Senedd will remember Luke Fletcher's calls for the UK Government to bring the Port Talbot site into public ownership and retain primary steel making throughout the transition. At the time, those proposals were ridiculed and dismissed as fanciful. Yet, here we are today, discussing the implications for Cymru of a UK Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill. It's abundantly clear, regardless of which party is in power at Westminster, what was deemed necessary for Scunthorpe was apparently too much to ask for Port Talbot. What assurances can the Gweinidog give to workers in Port Talbot that this Government will continue to make the case for greater investment at the Port Talbot site under a Burnham-led UK Government?

3. 1. Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice en

   The Cynnal payment has the potential to make a real difference to families facing the sharpest end of child poverty, particularly in communities like Afan Ogwr Rhondda, where levels of deprivation are among the highest in Wales and household budgets are already under enormous pressure. But, for it to work, families need clarity and confidence that this support will reach them directly. We know there are clear precedents for additional payments being disregarded within the benefits system, including the Scottish child payment and local welfare provision. But the Welsh NHS and social care bonus show that without Department for Work and Pensions protection, the value of a Government payment can be reduced through the universal credit system as it's then classed as earnings. If the DWP is unwilling to provide that protection for an anti-poverty payment aimed at children, does the Dirprwy Brif Weinidog agree that this underlines exactly why decisions affecting poverty in Cymru should be made in Cymru by a Government that understands and prioritises communities in Cymru? And will she set out what discussions the Government is having to ensure that the Cynnal payment is simple to access and protected in full?

1. 1. Questions to the First Minister en

   Prif Weinidog, Port Talbot has all the ingredients to succeed: strategic infrastructure, a free port, significant public investment, and a highly skilled industrial workforce. Yet for too long, investment has too often been fragmented, with opportunities pursued in isolation rather than as part of a coherent economic strategy. What role do you think, Prif Weinidog, you will see the Welsh development agency playing in places like Port Talbot, where significant investment is already being made through the Celtic Freeport, UK Government funding, and the transition of the steel industry? How will it add value and provide a single co-ordinated strategy to ensure that public investment delivers lasting well-paid jobs, growing Welsh-owned businesses and their supply chains and ensuring that the wealth generated in places like Port Talbot stays in Wales?

2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language cy

   Diolch, Weinidog, am yr ateb. Yn y cymunedau rwy'n eu cynrychioli, nid mater o ddysgu'r iaith yn unig yw tyfu'r Gymraeg, ond sicrhau cyfleoedd go iawn bob dydd i bobl ei defnyddio'n hyderus. Fel y sonioch chi, mae'r Gymraeg yn perthyn i bob un ohonom, boed ein bod ni newydd fagu’r hyder i ddweud ‘bore da’, yn siaradwyr Cymraeg newydd, neu wedi siarad yr iaith ar hyd ein hoes. Bythefnos yn ôl, lansiwyd ap Defnyddio Fy Nghymraeg gan y cyngor a menter iaith Rhondda Cynon Taf. Mae'r ap yn helpu trigolion ac ymwelwyr i ddod o hyd i gyfleoedd lleol i ddefnyddio'r Gymraeg, beth bynnag yw lefel eu gallu neu eu profiad. Mae'n dod â gweithgareddau, digwyddiadau a grwpiau Cymraeg at ei gilydd mewn un lle. Rwyf wedi’i lawrlwytho, ac mae e'n wych, ac rwy'n annog pob Aelod i'w lawrlwytho hefyd. Adnoddau ymarferol wedi'u harwain gan y gymuned fel hyn yw'r union fath o gefnogaeth sydd ei angen arnom ni tu allan i'r cadarnleoedd traddodiadol. Felly, sut fydd Llywodraeth Cymru'n sicrhau bod mentrau tebyg yn cael eu cefnogi, a bod arfer da yn cael ei rannu ar draws cymunedau fel y rhai sydd yn Afan Ogwr Rhondda?

   Official English translation

   Thank you, Cabinet Minister, for that response. In the communities I represent, it isn't just a matter of learning Welsh when it comes to growing the language, but providing genuine opportunities every day for people to use the language confidently. As you said, the Welsh language belongs to all of us, whether we've just developed the confidence to say ‘bore da’, we're new Welsh speakers, or whether we're lifelong Welsh speakers. A fortnight ago, an app was launched, Defnyddio Fy Nghymraeg, by Rhondda Cynon Taf language initiative and the council. It helps people to find opportunities to use the Welsh language, whatever their level of ability or experience. It brings activities and Welsh-speaking groups together in one place. I've downloaded the app and it's excellent, and I encourage all Members to download this app. Practical resources led by the community like this are exactly the kind of support that we need outside of the traditional Welsh-speaking heartlands. So how will the Welsh Government ensure that similar initiatives are supported and that good practice is shared across communities like the ones in Afan Ogwr Rhondda?

1. 5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Stillbirth and neonatal mortality en

   I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this debate, and I want to begin by paying tribute to Sands and to every bereaved parent and family who has campaigned, shared their story and demanded the change in the most painful of circumstances. This debate is about data, targets, accountability and health services, but before that it's about babies: babies who were loved, babies who are still loved, babies who were named, babies whose families had imagined futures with them, babies who are not with us but whose lives matter. I recently met with a constituent, Jasmine, who is here today. She experienced baby loss. She started the Better Maternity Wales campaign, which is calling for safer, more compassionate and more consistent maternity care across Wales. Behind that campaign is not only a call for change, but a baby whose life and memory mean so much. His name is Wyatt. I say Wyatt's name today because bereaved parents have told us very clearly that their babies must not be reduced to statistics only. They were here, they were loved, they are still loved. They are part of their families' stories. One issue Wyatt's mother raised has stayed with me. Why are mothers still being asked in maternity settings how many children they have, only for their answer to be brushed aside or wrongly corrected when staff realise that one of those children has died? That may seem like a small interaction for some, but for a bereaved parent it can really reopen a wound. It can make them feel, intentionally or not, that their baby does not count, that their motherhood, their parenthood, their grief and their love somehow does not fit into the right box on the form, and that has to change.  Compassionate care is not only about clinical pathways. It's about language, it's about records that reflect those families' realities. It's about not forcing bereaved parents to explain again and again that the baby they are naming is a child they have lost. But compassion on its own is not enough. This debate must also be about accountability. Sands Cymru, as we've heard, have made a clear and reasonable ask. Wales needs clear, measurable targets to reduce stillbirths and neonatal deaths—not vague aspirations, targets. Because, without targets, it becomes too easy for progress to drift; it becomes harder for families, staff, health boards and for this Senedd to know whether things are improving. We know that Cymru has not made the sustained progress that families deserve. And, as Sara mentioned, between 2022 and 2024, Cymru had the highest rate of stillbirths and neonatal deaths of all four UK nations. We know there are inconsistencies between health boards. We know that access to good care, bereavement support and specialist psychological support can depend far too much on where someone lives, and that's clearly not acceptable. The 2026 all-Wales maternity and neonatal assurance assessment recognised real strengths in services. I want to acknowledge the dedication of staff, midwives, neonatal staff, doctors and support workers, who are often working under immense pressure, and many are doing everything they can in very difficult circumstances. But the report also identified very serious vulnerabilities, unmet mental health needs, poor postnatal support, inconsistent incident responses, high staffing pressures, and systems that do not yet make the best use of data to spot unsafe trends or tackle inequalities. Those findings must lead to action. That is why I support calls for clear targets to reduce baby deaths in Cymru, including targets that address inequalities linked to deprivation and ethnicity. If we're serious about prevention, we must be serious about measuring whether that prevention is working. I also want to focus on the support offered after loss. There's still a huge disparity between parents whose children have lived and parents whose babies were not able to take their first breath. The grief is no less real, the trauma no less profound, yet too often the services available to those families are limited, inconsistent or difficult to access. Every bereaved parent should have access to trained staff, appropriate bereavement facilities, opportunities to make memories with their baby, and specialised psychological support where needed. That should not be a postcode lottery; it should be a national expectation. Better Maternity Wales frames its campaign around three principles: every parent, every baby, every time. That's exactly the standard we should be aiming for. So, my ask of the Minister is clear: please adopt measurable targets to reduce stillbirths and neonatal deaths, backed by data, transparency, funding and accountability. Please implement the national assurance assessment recommendations with urgency, and ensure bereavement care and specialised psychological support are available consistently across Wales. For Wyatt, Gwilym, and for every baby whose name is held in the hearts of their families, we owe them more than sympathy. Diolch.

   Diolch am eich ateb. Bydd y Gweinidog a thrigolion lleol yn falch o glywed, ar ôl wythnosau o garthion yn cael pwmpio i Afon Cynffig o safle Marlas, fod pibell dros dro uwchben wedi'i gosod yn llwyddiannus ddydd Llun ac, yn ffodus, fod y gollyngiad bellach wedi dod i ben. Fodd bynnag, ni chaiff y difrod a achoswyd ei wrthdroi am fod y llif wedi'i atal. Mae pryderon difrifol ynghylch yr effaith ar ansawdd dŵr yr afon, poblogaethau pysgod, infertebrata, bywyd planhigion a bioamrywiaeth ehangach, yn ogystal â'r effaith ar y safle o ddiddordeb gwyddonol arbennig gwarchodedig yng nghorsydd Margam. Bydd trigolion am gael hyder bod y niwed ecolegol yn cael ei asesu'n briodol ac nad yw'n cael ei dybio y bydd yn gwella ar ei ben ei hun. Pa gamau fydd y Gweinidog yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod Dŵr Cymru'n gweithredu'n amserol i adfer yr afon ac i sicrhau na fydd trychineb amgylcheddol o'r fath byth yn digwydd eto?

   Official English translation

   Thank you for that response. The Minister and local residents will be pleased to hear, after weeks of sewage being pumped into the River Kenfig from the Marlas site, that a temporary overhead pipe was put in place successfully on Monday, and fortunately, that spillage is now at an end. However, the damage caused cannot be overturned now that the discharge has been stopped. There are serious concerns about the impact on water quality in the river, fish populations, invertebrates, plant life and broader biodiversity, as well as the impact on the Margam moors site of special scientific interest. Residents will want confidence that the ecological damage is appropriately assessed and that it isn't presumed that it will recover on its own. What steps will the Minister take to ensure that Dŵr Cymru takes timely action to restore the river and to ensure that such an environmental disaster never happens again?

4. 3. Topical Questions en

   Diolch, Weinidog. I'd like to place on record my thanks to the local emergency services for their swift response and support following the incident at the Tata site last week. I'm also incredibly thankful that no-one was harmed. The scenes that emerged were deeply distressing both for those who work on site and for residents living in view of the steelworks. I understand that Tata is still assessing the extent of the damage, with up to 200 employees directly affected. As a result of the damage, some work is being transferred for processing at the cold mill and pickle line at Llanwern. I know the Minister is acutely aware of the concerns of Tata employees, their families and local residents, and recognises that this awful event has added further uncertainty at what is already an extremely difficult time for the workforce in Port Talbot. What assurances can the Minister provide to help alleviate those concerns and ensure that Tata Steel fully supports its employees during this challenging period?

   Thanks for taking the intervention. 'Mark my words. Children should be raised by the parents until they are old enough for pre school nursery.' 'I haven't said women should stay home, I'm merely stating that that is usually the case. Women nurture, men go out and provide.' Llywydd, these are not my words. These are words from the candidates of the party who have brought forward this debate today. Reform UK are not serious about childcare. This is political posturing at the very best. I'm confident in Plaid Cymru's plans to deliver the most ambitious childcare offer in the UK, and voters in the last election clearly agree.
