[W] signifies that the question was tabled in Welsh. Contents 2 Questions to the Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing 2 Questions to the Minister for Heritage Answers to the Written Assembly Questions for answer on 24 February 2010 To ask the Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing Mick Bates (Montgomeryshire): Will the Minister give an update on the designation of Marine Conservation Zones in Wales. (WAQ55679) Answer issued on 25 February 2010 ‘The Marine Conservation Zone Project Wales’ has been established by the Welsh Assembly Government for the purpose of recommending for designation, by the end of 2012, a number of marine conservation zones in Welsh waters. The approach to identifying and designating these sites was set out in the Welsh Assembly Government’s draft strategy for marine protected areas ‘Protecting Welsh Seas’ which was issued for consultation last September. The project is in its preparatory phase which includes developing site selection criteria and methodology in readiness for sharing with key stakeholders. Mike German (South Wales East): What progress has been made in assessing the application for the former Park St School, Abergavenny in the bidding round for the Community Asset Transfer Fund. (WAQ55681) Transferred for answer by the Minister for Social Justice and Local Government Answer issued on 24 February The Minister for Social Justice and Local Government (Carl Sargeant): The BIG Lottery Fund administers the Community Asset Transfer Programme on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government. I can confirm that an expression of interest (EOI) was made to the BIG Lottery Fund on 4 November 2009 for the Abergavenny Community Centre Ltd to transform the former Park Street Infants School into a community centre. Mike German (South Wales East): With reference to the Community Asset Transfer Fund, will the Minister indicate whether projects that have to pay a purchase price for the asset will be viewed as favourably as those where acquisition costs are minimal. (WAQ55682) Transferred for answer by the Minister for Social Justice and Local Government Answer issued on 24 February Carl Sargeant: The BIG Lottery Fund administers the Community Asset Transfer programme on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government. Whilst proposals will be considered for the transfer of assets at full market value, this programme seeks to encourage transfers at lower rates. Therefore, projects must try to incorporate transfers at nil cost, or significantly below the market value. For leasehold transfer, consideration should be given to establishing peppercorn rent arrangements. However, this is only one factor in a wider assessment that will look at a number of criteria, for example community need, economic viability, and long term sustainability. To ask the Minister for Heritage Sandy Mewies (Delyn): Will the Minister make a statement on how many applications to Cadw for grant aid from Flintshire have been (a) received, (b) agreed, and (c) turned down; giving the reasoning behind these decisions. (WAQ55680) Answer issued on 24 February 2010 2 Answers to the Written Assembly Questions for answer on 24 February 2010 I attach details of grant applications to Cadw for historic buildings and monuments in Flintshire over the past five years. Historic building grants are given to owners of buildings judged by an expert advisory panel to be architecturally or historically outstanding or for works which improve the appearance of a conservation area. In addition, Cadw has given grants of £80,000 over the past four years towards the Holywell Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) scheme and has offered grant of £60,000 over a three year period towards the forthcoming THI scheme at Flint. My officials in Cadw would welcome more applications from owners in Flintshire and, as indicated in my Historic Environment Strategic Statement, we are reviewing our grants programme to ensure grant is directed to the structures of greatest need.

  • Women and Crime in Sixteenth-Century Wales
    Women and Crime in Sixteenth-Century Wales Elizabeth Anne Howard A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University 2020 i Summary This thesis is the first full-length study of women and crime in sixteenth-century Wales. After the Acts of Union of 1536 and 1543, Wales fell under English legal jurisdiction. As such, Wales provides a key setting through which to question how a new system of criminal law could be developed and implemented. The sixteenth- century, however, has been somewhat neglected by historians of crime, as has the location of Wales. This study addresses this gap in research by utilising the detailed depositional evidence from the Welsh Great Sessions c.1542 to 1590. Further, this thesis draws especially on evidence from Montgomeryshire and Flintshire due to the richness of the surviving source material in these counties’ gaol files, and the fact that these two counties were part of the same Great Sessions circuit. Compared to the history of Welsh crime, the study of gender and crime has been much more vibrant. This thesis builds on previous research in this field by placing women’s experience as perpetrators and victims of crime at the forefront of the investigation. Throughout, I examine the three main categories of offence that women experienced – theft, homicide, and witchcraft – and question how a woman’s gender affected her treatment before the law. Indeed, the central arguments of these chapters expose the differences between criminal accusations made against women in their original formats and how these allegations could be modified and changed throughout the legal process.
