That does not sound like inter- governmental parity of esteem. Where does his role to Wednesday 14 October 2020 represent the Tory party in Wales stop and his role to build trust and mutual respect start? The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock PRAYERS Simon Hart: The first responsibility in this particular context is to respect the fact that 55% of people in [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Wales voted to leave the European Union, and it seems astonishing that the party of Wales, represented by the Virtual participation in proceedings commenced (Order, right hon. Lady, is still so out of step with the people of 4 June). Wales when it comes to that. The clock is not being [NB: [V] denotes a Member participating virtually.] turned back, and what we are attempting to do is to deliver a deal that respects that decision and all the Speaker’s Statement institutions in Wales, which I thought we both valued. Mr Speaker: It has come to my attention that, owing to an oversight in the Public Bill Office, the Government Liz Saville Roberts: Trust in politicians is sadly were not invited to signify Queen’s consent last night on diminishing, because politicians are not seen to answer Third Reading of the Fisheries Bill. I am satisfied that the question at hand.

If a Privy Councillor will Wales, and people who need to self-isolate, seek assurance now signify formally that the Queen’sconsent was obtained that they can trust the Treasury to back up covid-19 for this Bill, I will direct that the appropriate entry be control measures made in Wales for Wales. Can the made in the Journal for yesterday’s proceedings. Secretary of State guarantee to the people of Wales that they can, indeed, trust the Government to do this? The Secretary of State for Wales (Simon Hart) indicated assent. Simon Hart: Having seen the Chancellor ensure that the Welsh Government have had £4.4 billion-worth of Oral Answers to Questions UK taxpayers’ money for exactly that purpose, I hope the right hon. Lady would share my view that we are WALES looking at the UK in the round. Covid is an international problem, and it does not respect political boundaries. The Secretary of State was asked— The Chancellor’s announcements make it very clear EU Trade Negotiations that he sees all the UK as a priority, not just individual component parts, and I would think the numbers speak David Linden (Glasgow East) (SNP): What recent for themselves. discussions he has had with the devolved Administrations on UK trade negotiations with the EU.

So in hand with the Welsh Government throughout the far, the devolved Administrations have been left out of covid-19 pandemic.

    Public Accounts Committee Oral evidence: Starter Homes, HC 88 Thursday 22 October 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 22 October 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Meg Hillier (Chair); Olivia Blake; Barry Gardiner; Sir Bernard Jenkin. Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General, Aileen Murphie, Director, National Audit Office, and Marius Gallaher, Alternate Treasury Officer of Accounts, HM Treasury, were in attendance. Questions 1-114 Witnesses I: Jeremy Pocklington, Permanent Secretary, MHCLG, Tracey Waltho, Director General, Housing and Planning, MHCLG, and Nick Walkley, CEO, Homes England. Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Investigation into Starter Homes (HC 275) Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Jeremy Pocklington, Tracey Waltho and Nick Walkley. Chair: Welcome to the Public Accounts Committee on Thursday 22 October 2020. We are here today to consider a National Audit Office investigation into starter homes. We all know that house building declined sharply after the financial crash in 2008. As part of the response to that, the coalition Government made a commitment in 2015 to build 200,000 starter homes at a 20% discount for first-time buyers under the age of 40. The spending review of that year promised £2.3 billion for the first 60,000 of those homes. The NAO’s investigation, however, found that while £192 million had been spent by July 2019, no starter homes had actually been built. We are bringing witnesses together today to tell us what has happened to starter homes, where the funding has gone and, crucially, looking forward, what the future is for affordable homes.

  • 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.

AM: Good morning. AP: Yeah, we often struggle in Wales to make our voice heard. AM: Well, you can be heard right now. And my first question to you was and is whether you accept that a policy of Welsh independence from England and membership of the EU, which is your policy, does mean a hard border down the Welsh-English border? AP: Well, no. We set out in our Independence Commission report, a 200-page document that we published just before Christmas, that our medium term objective would be for an independent Wales to become members of the European Free Trade Association. The so-called Norway solution that we became very familiar with during the Brexit debate, which does provide us, Andrew, with that more frictionless access than we currently enjoy to the European Single Market.

    Home News Sport More Search Home Coronavirus Video World US & Canada UK Business Tech Science More Stories Entertainment & Arts Wales Wales Politics Wales Business North West North East Mid South West South East Cymru Local News Covid: Asylum seeker camp conditions prompt inspection calls By Ione Wells BBC Wales Westminster correspondent 7 hours ago Coronavirus pandemic Residents of an asylum seeker camp in Pembrokeshire says life is 'very bad' Asylum seekers housed in a military training camp have claimed the "very bad" conditions are making them feel increasingly desperate. The Home Office decided to house up to 250 asylum seekers at the site in Penally, Pembrokeshire, from September. But some housed at the camp claim the conditions are unsafe and putting them at risk of coronavirus. Plaid Cymru has called for an urgent inspection, but the Home Office said it was safe and "Covid-compliant". Protests and counter-protests have taken place at the camp, with concerns conditions breach human rights. First Minister Mark Drakeford has said the facility was "unsuitable" for vulnerable people who have "fled terror and suffering". Now, asylum seekers have spoken to the BBC about their experiences of living in the camp during the pandemic, with some claiming the site does not abide by Covid-19 rules. 'Overflowing toilets' RESIDENT PHOTO Photos taken inside the camp show the living conditions in one of the rooms One man, who wishes to remain anonymous, arrived at the camp on 1 October. He said he had pain from "old injuries" obtained in Syria, but had to wait "four days" to see a doctor.
