Speeches in the chamber
14 Jul 2026 Public Office (Accountability) Bill
I am proud to have sponsored the original proposal, promoted by the hon. Member for Liverpool West Derby (Ian Byrne), and I salute the survivors and the victims’ families. I am glad that the UK Government have listened to them, and that th…
13 Jul 2026 Immigration and Asylum Bill
There are several reasons why my Plaid Cymru colleagues, along with hon. Members from the Scottish National party, the Greens and others, have tabled a reasoned amendment to oppose this Bill. The Bill does not fix the problems in the UK as…
13 Jul 2026 Immigration and Asylum Bill
On the independent immigration appeals authority, I wonder whether hon. Members will be concerned, given the political nature of the decisions made here, that the Home Secretary’s proposals involve a blurring of the line between the Execut…
13 Jul 2026 Immigration and Asylum Bill
Will the Home Secretary give way?
13 Jul 2026 Death of Ann Widdecombe
I speak on behalf of my party, Plaid Cymru. I think all of us will remember where we were when we heard the news that once again somebody—in this case, a former Member of Parliament—who lives the same lives as ourselves had died in such a …
1 Jul 2026 Israel: E1 Zone Expansion
The E1 zone expansion is a deliberate attempt to do away with any hope of a two-state solution. The FCDO’s unit tracking the Israeli Government’s breaches of international law was closed earlier this year, in April. I am glad, of course, t…

1 Jul 2026 Coastguard Volunteers: Remuneration and HMRC Guidance
I agree entirely. A CRO suggested to me that we should look at the model for retained firefighters. I wonder whether that is something the Minister might consider. Obviously, there will be issues with that model, but other models have been…
1 Jul 2026 Coastguard Volunteers: Remuneration and HMRC Guidance
Diolch o galon i holl wylwyr y glannau am eu gwaith. [Translation: Heartfelt thanks to all the coastguards for their work.] The economy of Gwynedd is highly dependent on tourism, especially our coastal communities in the Llŷn peninsula …
30 Jun 2026 Defence Investment Plan
Decisions taken in Whitehall mean that the Welsh Government’s capital budget is already set to fall by 9% in real terms by 2029. Today, we learned that the UK Treasury will further cut that capital budget by many millions to fund the defen…
29 Jun 2026 Prisoner Early Release
Diolch yn fawr, Lefarydd. Richard Tung of Penisa’rwaun, Caernarfon, is in prison after being found guilty of historical rape and sexual offences against a child in Nottingham. He was reported to Nottinghamshire police in 2022, but his firs…
24 Jun 2026 Engagements
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Lefarydd. The end of the Prime Minister’s premiership comes close on the heels of the end of Labour’s 100-year dominance in Wales. People simply did not feel that his party stood up for them, and it is irrefutable that…
22 Jun 2026 G7 Summit

17 Jun 2026 Job Creation

8 Jun 2026 Water Companies
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Lefarydd. Local people are appalled that there were nearly 95,000 hours of sewage pollution in Dwyfor Meirionnydd last year, to the point where there are dedicated local groups in the constituency. I must menti…
8 Jun 2026 Progression of Bills through Parliament
We all know the amount of public concern following what happened in the House of Lords. The hon. Gentleman touched on how the Labour manifesto said there would be considerable modernisation. I wonder whether he would be interested in the p…
3 Jun 2026 Engagements
Q2. Last month, Welsh voters elected a Plaid Cymru Government with a clear message: fairness and hope. That means tackling years of neglect by securing funding owed from High Speed 2, a new financial settlement that reflects our nation’…
