  • Senedd Petitions Committee Report – Red Route
    Welsh Parliament Petitions Committee Petition P-05-886 Stop the Red Route (A55/A494 corridor) March 2021 This report summarises the Petitions Committee’s consideration of a petition against the further development of proposals for a new road in north east Wales. It includes several recommendations made by the Committee. The petition 1. Petition P-05-886 Stop the Red Route (A55/A494 corridor) was submitted in the name of Linda Scott in June 2019 having received a total of 1,409 signatures, consisting of 1,275 collected online and 134 on paper. Petition Text: We call on the National Assembly of Wales to urge the Welsh Government to withdraw its support for the "Red Route" (A55/A494/A548 Deeside Corridor Improvement) on the grounds that: 1) The construction of the new road through ancient woodland, and across agricultural land, contradicts Planning Policy Wales and the Well-being of Future Generations Act. 2) The recently published plans for a new A494 Dee Bridge, widening of the A494 and other improvements will deliver the Deeside traffic improvements without the need for the ‘Red Route’. 3) The costs used to justify the choice of the “Red Route” failed to account for necessary upgrade of the Flintshire Bridge. It also does not include the addition www.senedd.wales Petition P-05-886 Stop the Red Route (A55/A494 corridor) of crawler lane at a major congestion point on the A55, the hill out of Northop towards Holywell. Congestion at these points will be made worse by the construction of the Red Route. The underestimate of the costs used imply that the proposed road cannot be considered value for money.

  • June 2020 Leaders
    Our latest Welsh Political Barometer poll repeated our long-standing question in which we asked respondents to rate political leaders on a 0-10 scale (where 0 means ‘strongly dislike’ and 10 means ‘strongly like’, with a Don’t Know option also available.) This question was asked about the main Britain-wide leaders for the Conservatives and Labour, plus the Welsh leaders of both those parties and Plaid Cymru. With our April poll having begun sampling before the Labour leadership announcement, our new poll thus present the first verdict from Welsh voters on Sir Keir Starmer - and allows us to compare his ratings directly with those of Jeremy Corbyn. As I have often discussed in the past, a first interesting thing in such findings is the proportion of people who answer Don’t Know for each leader. Though some respondents will choose this option because they are genuinely undecided – and some will bluff on a leader about whom they know nothing – overall the percentage of people saying Don’t Know provides a good rough-and-ready measure of their public visibility. There are at least two particular reasons for being interested in that this time around. As this is the first poll asking about Keir Starmer, it is interesting to see the extent to which the public have been able yet to form a view about him. Second, it has been no- table since he became First Minister that large proportions of Barometer respondents have failed to offer a view on Mark Drakeford; with the Covid-19 crisis having pushed him rather more into the public eye, has this changed? The table below shows the percentage of Don't Know responses for each leader (with in brackets the change on our last poll, in April; for Starmer, the figure represents the change on the April fig- ure for Corbyn): Leader % Don’t Know Boris Johnson 5 (-2) Keir Starmer 25 (+16) Mark Drakeford 24 (-16) Paul Davies 67 (+3) Adam Price 55 (+1) These sorts of tables normally show a gulf between the two main UK party leaders and those at the devolved level.

  • Impact of the Recent Welsh Election for Wales
    Welsh Refugee Council Empowering asylum seekers and refugees to build new futures in Wales Title: Impact of the Senedd Elections 2021 in Wales As the dust settles on what has been an unusual election for the Welsh Senedd, dominated as it was by the continuing effects of the coronavirus pandemic, we reflect on what this means for refugees and asylum seekers in Wales. Going into these elections, the three main parties’ manifestos had little to say on asylum. This was despite the major changes to the system being considered by the Home Office and an ongoing debate about the suitability of housing asylum seekers in accommodation like Penally military training camp. Both Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru committed to retaining the Nation of Sanctuary initiative but made few other references to the issue. Plaid did commit to ending the ‘no recourse to public funds’ rules which prevent most asylum seekers from accessing the benefits system, but the powers to do this sit with Westminster rather than the Senedd. The Welsh Conservatives made no mention of asylum at all. Whilst this lack of attention might be understandable given the all-consuming focus on Covid-19, refugees and asylum seekers in Wales continue to face significant challenges, many exacerbated by the pandemic. The minimal discussion of refugee and asylum issues by all parties in this election is worrying. Given this lack of attention, what impact will the outcome of the elections have in Wales? 1. A Welsh Labour minority government means the Nation of Sanctuary initiative is likely to continue. Jane Hutt MS has been appointed as Minister for Social Justice with responsibility for asylum issues, and as Deputy Minister in the previous government Jane was heavily involved in the development of the Nation of Sanctuary initiative.

  • List of Relevant Ministerial Private Interests
    List of Relevant Ministerial Private Interests Welsh Government Published March 2021 INTRODUCTION Ministerial Code Under the terms of the Ministerial Code, Ministers must ensure that no conflict arises, or could reasonably be perceived to arise, between their Ministerial position and their private interests, financial or otherwise. On appointment to each new office and for each new subsequent financial year, Ministers must provide the Permanent Secretary with a full list in writing of all interests which might be thought to give rise to a conflict. Individual declarations, and a note of any action taken in respect of individual interests, are then passed to the Permanent Secretary to provide advice on any further action as appropriate. The List being published today records the position at the end of this process. Scope of the List The published list contains relevant ministerial interests current at the date of publication. It also includes any relevant Member of the Senedd declarations. Where a Minister has disposed of a relevant interest, or where they did so before taking up Ministerial office, it is not included in the List. The List sets out interests currently held by Ministers, or their close family members, which might reasonably be perceived to be directly relevant to a Minister’s ministerial responsibilities. It also provides details of charities where a Minister is a trustee or patron. In addition, Ministers may have other associations with charities or non-public organisations, for example, as constituency Member of the Senedd. Such associations may be historic, lapsed or the Minister may not be actively involved. The published list is not an account of all the interests or financial arrangements held by a Minister or members of their close family.
